Gluten-Free Italian Hobart

Italian food, without missing out

Eating gluten free at an Italian restaurant used to mean a salad and watching everyone else enjoy the pasta. At La Mensa the pasta and pizza menus stay open to you: gluten-free penne can replace the pasta in any pasta dish, and a gluten-free base is available for our medium pizzas.

Every risotto on our menu is gluten free, from the seafood risotto to the pollo e funghi, and a good number of mains, salads and starters are too. Dishes that are gluten free are marked GF on the menu, and vegetarian dishes are marked V. Dairy-free cheese can be added to any pizza.

One honest note: our kitchen works with wheat flour every day, so we cannot promise a completely gluten-free environment. If you have coeliac disease or a serious allergy, please tell our staff when you book or order, and they will talk you through the safest choices.
