“ One of the best meals we have had in a very long time. A group of 12, 9 students and 3 staff. After a week of hiking and camping we celebrated all the achievements of the group with authentic and real Italian food. The flavours, presentation and variety were sensational. We met the chef, the son continuing his parent’s restaurant and recipes. A MUST visit place! We/I will be back. ”
“ We were greeted with a calming, peaceful ambiance accompanied by excellent service and the most beautiful food. We felt the love and warmth the moment we walked in and the prices are reasonable for the portions. We will definitely be returning when we find ourselves in the area again! Highly recommend this place to anyone. ”
“ Authentic Italian Restaurant. Chef makes his own pasta. Garlic bread was so soft and fragrant. Both the Tropicana Pizza and Fettuccine were so good. ”
“ We are from Qld, and stopped into having dinner with some good friends of ours who suggested dining at Ottimos, we have eaten plenty of pizza and pasta in our life time, but WOW!! We were so happy they recommended this place, because it is so worth the trip as we were staying in Taranna. The atmosphere was perfect, the host and waitress were the most friendliest and made everyone feel at home. The service was on point, and the food was on another level, it was a flavour bomb that exploded in your mouth, just amazing!! Thank you for the perfect ending to an incredible day! ”
“ My fiance and I enjoyed a beautiful meal on Valentines night. Annie as per usual was so attentive. We were extremely lucky to get a table due to a cancellation. NOTE: I highly recommend booking. The place was packed and still more people wanted to dine in. Annie did extremely well trying to accommodate everyone with different options, she is amazing. Our food was just delicious, mains followed by a treat of dessert. Ottimo never fails to please. Highest recommendations. ”
“ One of the best food experiences we have had in a while. What was evident was the freshness in the ingredients, be it pasta or the Margherita Pizza that we had. They offered to serve the vegan Spaghetti bolognaise that they were trialling and it was one of the best pasta that I have had. Anny, who took care of us that night was one of the best hosts. The chef personally came and had a chat which shows their genuine love to cook great food and making sure to check with the guests. An experience to remember for our family. Will visit this place every time I am in Hobart. Why would I miss being treated like a king!! Cherry on top- they serve vegan and vegetarian options. ”
