The arranchi is brilliant. The aioli is great. Not a great vibe if you’re walking off the street. Good for a quick office lunch. The selection is a bit lacklustre.
The Italian Pantry- Hobart have recently set up shop on Murray Street where the old Home & Garden used to be. The interior is shared between a deli section (a great selection of fresh pasta, olives, all sorts of condiments and even some fresh Tasmanian truffles!!), and their small but welcoming cafe/restaurant.Even since our student times in Adelaide, where 2-for-1 mains with a carafe of ‘house red’ at the Highbury Pasta House was a big night out, I’ve had a massive soft spot for a puttanesca pasta. Salty kalamata olives, fresh herbs, garlic and a hit of chilli…there’s nothing better!It’s safe to say that the puttanesca from The Italian Pantry is fantastic ($22.50)! I’ve never seen so many olives and capers in a single bowl, the pasta had been cooked perfectly al dente, and the chef had showed considerable restraint with the oil, a failing I’ve noticed in almost every other puttanesca in the past.If it’s something a little bit lighter you’re after then the toasted piadina will be right up your alley ($12.50). Fresh tomatoes, thinly shaved smallgoods, melted cheese…the quality in the ingredients shines through!The wine list contains an interesting range of Italian and local drops. Seating is limited, so if you’re looking to try them at peak hours then consider booking ahead :)Gustoso!! forkandfoot.com
You have to try this place it’s fantastic and the food is amazing
It was a blustery old day in Hobart and we felt like some comfort food. Headed here as we’d read good things about the cafe and shop. We were warmly greeted, a change to a menu item to suit a veggie was easily done and service was naturally friendly. Good portions of pasta at $14.50 is cheap as far as I’m concerned ($20+ for the same in Melb). Our desserts were warmed doughnuts filled with custard and chocolate (or you could have plain). So light and just beautiful. Wish we had somewhere back home like this. A big part of its charm is the fact that’s hidden away in the back streets. Parking was easy and free. Oh and I should mention the grocery store is fun to browse. The cheese room is amazing! Next time I’m in Hobart, I’ll be back.
Went there for a coffee today with my mum, she got a capachino which was alright. I ordered a mocha which had no taste and was so bad I couldn’t even drink it.
Great escape on a cold winters day. Enjoyed a tasty pasta lunch with friendsgood flavours and authentic italian taste…………..I am italian descent………..so the flavour was reminicent of mamasBUT coffee and mochas were SO Disappointinglacked flavour and were tepiddonuts …………..don’t waste your time am inclined to try again give them another chance to get it right
Nothing special. I suspect the rating I’m giving here could be to do with me being a bit spoilt by the cafe culture I’ve been used to back in Melbourne.The food’s ok but nothing particularly special. Coffee quite average, certainly no artistry in it (As in, I’d expect better at Hudsons or Gloria Jeans) The place was freezing (no heater/Air conditioning!) and had half-week-old newspapers.But still, I know of some others who love the place – perhaps I’ve just been expecting too much?
