Tesoro

Tesoro is a contemporary Italian restaurant at 28 Elizabeth Street, Hobart, bringing together Italian cooking and produce from Tasmania’s growers, farmers, makers and other local suppliers. The kitchen focuses on thoughtful technique, direct flavours and uncomplicated food that allows quality ingredients to remain central.

The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a drinks offering that extends the setting beyond mealtimes. Its approach draws on traditional Italian cuisine while using local produce and keeping food miles and waste in mind. The result is a flexible dining style suited to a morning meal, a daytime catch-up, an evening occasion or drinks in a polished restaurant setting.

Tesoro’s character is shaped by a balance of contemporary presentation and Italian simplicity. The venue places importance on craftsmanship, produce and service rather than unnecessary complexity. Tasmanian ingredients are used as a foundation for a menu that reflects both the region and the techniques associated with Italian cooking.

The interiors feature plush seating and murals by an Australian artist, giving the restaurant a colourful, considered atmosphere. A private dining room is available for group occasions and celebrations, with catering provided by the modern Italian kitchen. This makes Tesoro suitable for private events as well as individual dining across its breakfast, lunch and dinner services.

Located on Elizabeth Street in central Hobart, Tesoro is also positioned for visitors looking for an Italian restaurant within the city. Parking is listed at Trafalgar Place. Reservations and venue enquiries can be made through Tesoro’s booking channels, with phone and email contact available for planning a meal, private dining or group function.
