93 Salamanca Place
The Italian restaurant on Salamanca Place
Pizza, pasta and Italian favourites among the sandstone warehouses of Hobart's waterfront.
Italian tradition in Hobart's best-loved street
Salamanca Place is where Hobart comes to eat, and La Mensa is its Italian restaurant. You will find us at number 93, at the Battery Point end of the strip, a few minutes on foot from the waterfront, Parliament lawns and the CBD.
The menu is the kind you would hope for from an Italian restaurant in Salamanca: antipasto, arancini and bruschetta to start, a long list of pasta and risotto, classic and gourmet pizzas, and mains like veal scaloppine, chicken parmigiana and a seafood platter. It is cooked with quality Tasmanian produce and poured with Tasmanian and Italian wines.
We are relaxed and family friendly. Come for a casual dinner before a show, bring the kids, or book a table for a birthday. Metered parking runs along Salamanca Place and the Salamanca Square car park is close by.
