Ristorante Da Angelo - Hobart

Well situated in Battery Point.  Our party of 3 entered the restaurant and were greeted with a warm, vibrant diner atmosphere downstairs and to amazing smells coming from the kitchen.  So it was to my disappointment that we were told to follow the waitress upstairs to what was a pretty sterile atmosphere.  The music of some poor-man 's-David-Bowie blasting through tinny speakers recessed in the corners seemed such an odd contrast the expected traditional Italian pedigree of the place.  Suggest you think about this as I felt I 'd been transported from Little Italy to a Blue Light Disco.  As the upstairs dining room filled the atmosphere improved but the lack of walls and acoustic barriers means you can hear conversations on the other side of the room.<br/ <br/ However, the food was sensational and the pizza I had (a medium 'The Lot ' which is ideal for one person with a semi-appetite) was arguably one of the best pizzas I 've had in years.  The other dishes ordered were also exceptional and well sized.  The pizza represents great value.  The service is also very good and the right level of attentive.<br/ <br/ Would go back for sure but would insist on a downstairs table in my booking.

Anything less than a 5 would be a horrible injustice. This joint seems to be an institution amongst locals and tourists. You can go takeaway but we dined in. The service we received was effortless and friendly, so very good... and the food. I don’t say this lightly but it was by far the greatest gnocchi carbonara I’ve ever had and probably ever will have. All of the pasta and gnocchi is made on site by the nonnas and you can 100% taste it. Bruschetta pizza was amazing as was the seafood risotto. I ordered a little creamy potato thing as a side and it was amazing too. If you come to Hobart and don’t come here you’ve got no idea.

Dining solo in a busy restaurant without a reservation and I STILL received beautiful service from their lovely waitress, plus the pollo toscana was **** delicious! Would go back fo sho.

Now this place is probably the best Italian I’ve had and I live in Melbourne which has great Italian restaurants as well. The owner is really nice and accommodating. You need to book ahead because it’s very popular. I try to here every time I’m in Hobart. Yum!!

Pizza is delicious and very fresh. The price of the food is very reasonable. Waiting for take-away time is very short. Strongly recommend friends to come here to eat.
