La Mensa

Ordered entree was dry and cold, Long wait for Main, service was unacceptable very slow, we visited on 8th Jan Xmas decorations still up.no staff, No water offered on arrival had to ask for parmasean cheese as there was none on meal, no cracked pepper would not recommend. Meal was ok but wouldn't go back because of the service

Food was great. Calamari was soft and tender. The pasta was a little creamy but still very tasty. Loved it.

The food was really good, so the waitress, he was much of a help with all our questions due food intolerance.
Thank you

It’s actually not easy to get good Italian and this place was great. Served piping hot, generous serving and loads of flavour. Very well priced for Hobart. Highly recommend

Perfect food. Perfect service. Delightful and affordable all ‘round. Calabrese to die for.

The food was ok and the serving staff polite. We were there mid week in the low season so not many customers about.

Best lasagne and fettuccine carbonara we've tasted anywhere in the world! Absolutely beautiful food.

Food was a hit with the kids & adults. There is ample space for big groups, and the place has a relaxed, fun feel to it. We had 4-5 different cocktails, and each & every one of it has a good zing to it.

La Mensa restaurant, situated in the heart of Salamanca Place, Hobart, is an absolute gem. Their menu features an array of delectable dishes, including the standout pesto gnocchi, matricciana, and cacciatore, which are bursting with authentic flavors. The use of fresh ingredients elevates each dish to perfection. The expertly crafted cocktails perfectly complement the delightful food. Adding to the charm, La Mensa offers fantastic specials throughout the week, providing even more reasons to visit. The romantic ambiance makes it an ideal spot for a memorable date night. With reasonable prices and a prime location, La Mensa is the ultimate destination for an exceptional dining experience.

Great service from friendly staff, and excellent food. Having discovered Penne Cacciatore here (apologies if I've misspelled it!), I cannot imagine ordering anything else at an Italian restaurant, at least if it is like the beautiful meal I had here (twice in a week).
Highly recommended. Make the effort to walk to the end of the famous Salamanca Pl row of businesses.

Wonderful friendly dining experience, great menu with plenty of Gluten Free options and allergy aware kitchen.

I won’t be ordering through Uber Eats again.
I ordered the meatballs dish and waited 60 minutes for it to arrive with 4 meatballs and sauce but no spaghetti? Now I have to cook spaghetti to go with with which is extremely inconvenient when I ordered takeaway so I didn’t have to cook. I would have been happy to pay extra for spaghetti if they had specified that the meatballs dish does not come with it. Will order from elsewhere next time! Annoying

Excellent service, staffs are very communicative and friendly. The food is so delicious especially the pastas. It’s a must try restaurant.

A lovely Dinner experience in Salamanca! Delicious Italian meal with the option of gluten free pizza, pasta and risottos. Lots of options for entrée as well, Amazing cocktails, friendly staff.

We usually love coming here. We hadn't been for about a year.
The service was ordinary. The pasta was undercooked and the pizza was overcooked. When asked what our meal was like the employee seemed confused by our response
My husband also witnessed a staff member drop a fork on the ground when setting a table and just pick it up and put it back on the table.
We won't be in a hurry to go back.

Great service, food nice. Varied menu, happy to make changes if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. Spacious venue. Would definitely go back.

Not great, pasta totally raw and the chicken breast was a chicken roll? For $36 you'd kinda expect nice fresh breast and to not still be hungry, prices are extortionate

Great experience, it was nice to est pizza other then domino's. Only issue is it would be nice if there was a whisky/bourbon menu instead of needing to ask what they have

Great find amongst the restaurants on offer. If your after delicious home cooking, look no further!
Great service & atmosphere

Minestrone soup, apparently always the 'soup of the day', could have been a tin on Heinz with a couple of pieces of broccoli, carrot and cauli thrown in. No pasta, no beans and very disappointing. We will not go back.
