Hobart CBD · Salamanca Place
Italian restaurant near the Hobart CBD
Leave the office, cross Parliament lawns, and sit down to pasta on Salamanca Place.
From the city grid to Salamanca
Hobart's CBD and Salamanca Place sit side by side, so La Mensa is an easy walk from the office towers, shops and hotels of the city centre. Head down Murray Street past Parliament House and across the lawns, and you are on Salamanca Place.
We are made for the after-work dinner: a quick bowl of pasta on your own, pizzas to share with colleagues, or a proper farewell or end-of-year dinner for the team. Groups of 8 or more can take the ordering out of it with one of our share-style set menus.
In town for business or staying at a city hotel? Dinner on Salamanca Place is the easiest way to see Hobart's waterfront at its best, and the menu of Italian classics, cooked with Tasmanian produce, makes it a safe choice for a table with different tastes.
La Mensa is an Italian restaurant in Hobart at 93 Salamanca Place, on the historic waterfront.
