Da Angelo Ristorante

There’s a line out the door for a reason! Such popularity shows a great loyalty of customers as well as enough sway to get newcomers in as well. I am no local to Hobart, but on my last 4 trips to Tasmania in the past year I have always demanded a visit to Da Angelo’s.
Amazing attentive staff, very sociable environment and the owner is the most charming and accomodating man you could ever meet!
Definitely recommend booking, all their pastas are delicious and very generous portion sizes!
Great great spot to dine!

Lots of hype and recommendations for this place. Can honestly say it’s worth it.
The place was too busy to find me a table but set me up at the bar at the front window. A brilliant, quiet spot.
Herb bread for entrée. Served in bite sized pieces. Top quality. Main was spaghetti carbonara. Normally a carbonara sauce makes you feel bloated. With home made pasta and sauce that wasn’t the case at all. Great flavour and just the right consistency to leave you satisfied but not feel as though you’ve eaten an entire cow.
Tiramisu for desert. Perfect. Flavoursome but, again, not too heavy.
This trip has shown me that Hobart leaves most on the mainland for dead with pub style dining and pricing. This restaurant deserves all its hype. You’re mad if you don’t try it if you’re in town.

WOW! Truly authentic Italian food. All the food is prepared onsite «no pasta sauce from a jar here» including home made bread and pasta.
The wait staff was friendly and service was fast considering that your meal is prepared just for you. Highly recommend.

Everything we tasted was amazing.
The Chianti was superb.
The garlic bread was cut up into little bite size pieces
The BEST gnocchi I have EVER tasted, even better than anything we tasted when we were in Italy. Each piece just melted in your mouth. AMAZING!
The minestrone was ok. The peas were a little undercooked.
Then for dessert, I was craving the Crème brûlée but my drunk mouth asked for the tiramisu. All i can say is I was pleasantly surprised.
Overall, great service and a lovely Italian feel. Make sure to eat here!

Some of the best minestrone you’ll taste — ever. Really superb. Also ordered herb bread and pasta with bacon for my son as a takeaway. Our son was thrilled with everything. Busy place inside, filled with locals saying hello to one another. Good place for Italian food when you’re in this part of Tasmania.

So we tried to get in on Saturday night, but it was completely full. So lesson number 1 book. If you don’t book you won’t find a table.
The next night we booked and got in. The staff is extremely friendly. As most of the people are part of the one family. The gnocchi is hand made by two of the mothers. Literally.
The food is amazing. Everything is made fresh, nothing is out of a packet. And let’s just say that the cheesecake was sent by the gods.
If you are looking for good Italian, look no further. But book. Trust me.

So I heard about this place through the other travel review website which shall not be named here and this place had the best reviews. As I was in Hobart on a cold chilly night I naturally craved a little Italian… food, i thought I should just clarify that just incase. So this place is always really really busy so book inadvance to avoid waiting or worse having to settle for takeaway! This is a family run, cosy establishment, which is reminicent of Italian hearty home cooking. We started our night with wood fired pizza bread which comes in 3 sizes so you can get an entrée size and not feel guilty about eating like Chewbacca (apologies May the 4^th has just passed). I naturally ordered a pasta main dish which was fresh pasta with a light tomato sauce with bacon that was divine and the husband ordered chicken with a mushroom sauce which was beautiful. Ofcourse after eating all of this we both decided we have to have the desserts, so we ordered a tiramisu and crème brule with pistachio ice cream. I think I would like to blame our indescretion on some kind of food drunkeness, but I digress. The desserts were really great, the crème brule was creamy with the top which cracked like glass when you bit into it and a perfect balance of sweetness. And on top of that the staff was warm and friendly and when you are on a holiday that makes all the diference.

After a couple of failed attempts to get a table during our visit in Hobart, we finally got to dine at Da Angelo on a Sunday night, our last night in Hobart. And the place was still pumping!
Now don’t get me wrong, there is nothing fancy about this place. It’s standard Italian fare. But tasty Italian fare based on want we sampled.
To start we shared a small garlic cheese pizza, because the husband loves garlic bread/​pizza. It was tasty but perhaps a little too garlicky (especially as the garlic was «raw» apart from the grilling).
Next up, I had potato gnocchi (entrée size) with bolognese sauce & the husband had the Originale calzone (small size). I chose the gnocchi based solely on the recommendation of our delightful waitress. She told us that one of the owners mothers, who is an 80-​something year old Italian woman that speaks next to no English, hand makes the gnocchi with her family recipe!
And can I say, it was pretty darn fine gnocchi — it was light and airy and not at all stodgy. The sauce was nice, nothing to write home about, but good. But that gnocchi — brilliant!
The husband enjoyed his calzone as always. And we washed it all down with a couple of Peronis (him) and a glass of red (me).
The best part about our experience however was the service we received from the lovely lady who was working her last shift before moving to NYC. If the rest of the staff are as lovely as her, they are on a winner!

Soo good! I ate a huge portion of spinocchi (sp?) — which is rare, because gnocchi is usually rather boring. Not here! Freshly made and perfectly prepared. Good wine and friendly service made this a perfect night out.

Classic Italian with the Italian homey feel! The food is consistently tasty and the staff are also always great. The owner is wonderful and always ensures everyone is happy. My favourite Italian place in Tasmania!!!
