You may remember the Italian Pantry when it was in Federal Street. Great place for coffee, lunch and the best place to buy your fresh pasta and sauces as well as cheeses and specialty Italian products.
Well they have now moved to Murray Street (just opposite K&D) and they have evolved. Still offering all of the above but also dinner Thursday-Saturday nights.
The food was excellent! I had slow cooked pork belly which was melt in your mouth with crispy skin.... perfect, my better half had a pepperoni pizza which is cooked in a wood fired oven and in his words.... yum!!
We can’t wait to return to try another dish.
This is my favourite place to eat in Hobart. The atmosphere is easygoing, rustic and friendly. The staff are lovely, the food is first rate and we always enjoy a night out with family here.
Best pizza I've had in hobart. Base cooked through, light and chewy. Not too many toppings like a lot of pizzas have. Good range of Italian products in the deli as well.
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!!
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.
Always Brilliant. My family and I are greeted like treasured friends at this gorgeous establishment. The coffee is perfect, the food deserving of the prestigious award of "Most Authentic Italian in Australasia" recently won from Rome. Their effort to serve and provide highest quality food is so appreciated by all the locals and our visitors from elsewhere alike. They offer useful free cooking tutorials and tastings from time to time as well.
Great escape on a cold winters day. Enjoyed a tasty pasta lunch with friends
good flavours and authentic italian taste..............I am italian descent...........so the flavour was reminicent of mamas
BUT coffee and mochas were SO Disappointing
lacked flavour and were tepid
donuts ..............don't waste your time
am inclined to try again
give them another chance to get it right
Beautiful deli and amazing selection of cold meats, cheeses and olives. The Sicilian olives were so juicy and lemony… delicious
Came across this beautiful shop whilst visiting from Melbourne and couldn’t leave Tassie without stocking up on cape grim beef, homemade gourmet soups, cakes and other delights - amazing quality and very reasonable prices. They even packed it up in a cold bag with ice for the plane ride home. If you love quality great tasting food, this place is a must when visiting Hobart!
Convenient location, just off the Salamanca strip. Plenty of high-quality deli produce - meats, sandwiches, pies and lasagna. Their lasagna and shepherds pie are well worth the try - quite possibly the best in Hobart.
Lovely little shop. Stocks meats, cheeses, preserves, chocolates, fresh bread and more. The goods look lovely, I've only purchased gifts for others there but received very positive reviews in return. Staff were friendly and approachable.
This beautiful little place is a fantastic international deli with all kinds of gourmet foods! If I lived in Hobart I'd shop here all the time.

Wursthaus is a little gem, the food and selection of products and international foods on offer is amazing and fantastically presented you will find when you walk in the smell will inspire you to try something prices are reasonable and people are friendly and patient it's a must visit .
Small shop with a cosy, neighbourhood deli feel that is crammed with local and imported foods. Refrigerated glass fronted cabinets displayed a delicious looking array of sandwiches, quiches, pies and also casseroles for take home and heat meals.
such a fantastic german dehli and a nice range of local and imported wines, it is a delight to step in and swoon over the variety of german and local produce.
