Review La Mensa - Hobart

Had such a great time here. The pizzas are absolutely divine! ordered half and half flavours The slow cooked beef penne and fettuccine carbonara were also lovely ~ Finished off with a tiramisu for dessert which was top-notch!!

DAIRY FREE REVIEW Jeez where do I start. Called in ahead of dinner to ask if they had any dairy free options (as nothing was mentioned in the menu) and was reassured that vegan cheese was available for anything on the menu. Sweet no problem! Well, things were not that simple. Apparently they use dairy in all their normal pizza bases (which are all crummy premades instead of being made with fresh dough on site) and that the gluten free option (only available in medium) was the only dairy free option. Ok, guess I'll have a smaller pizza today, no big issue, I guess. Then this thing in the picture rolls out. We honestly thought that the huge chunks of cheese were potato chips and that there wasn't any cheese at all. The chef couldn't even be bothered grating the vegan cheese? Is my dietary requirement that much of a problem for you that you need to make a joke through my food's presentation? Needless to say my whole experience was reduced to bitterness, frustration and exclusion. Pretty par the coarse with these family restaurants that are always tone death to anyone's needs that differ from the norm. If you're looking for a good pizza joint that cares about what you can or can't eat, give Pep Pizza or Local Pizza a shot instead.

I had mushroom arancini from La Mensa Hobart today, which was the best arancini I had ever before. This was my first time tasting from La mensa and I wish to come back every day.Also, the environment and the customer service were fantastic.

The pasta was quite good, a little small on the servings for the price in my opinion, but overall I had a good time and had some good food😁

A wonderful place! We ordered through Uber Eats but the delivery driver cancelled the order. It was nearing closing time and La Mensa already made the food. Their staff were very responsive and helpful over the phone about it and we ended up getting our food in the end. The food was delicious and they even gave us free garlic bread - so nice! Definitely recommend them.

Friday night dinner. Quite busy. Understaffed. Waiters a bit lost. One of the ladies, who seemed to be the manager, didn't do much to help them. After 15 minutes of seating, no wine glasses in sight despite bringing BYO wine. For the price of the pizza, I'd expect at least homemade dough. Noisy space, although it's not something I dislike with Italian restaurants.

Great service, amazing food, and a goof atmosphere! The price was very reasonable too!!

Enjoyed our Meals and Drinks at La Mensa, the Pizza's were Great.
