Menu was extensive for a quiet sleepy city. Nothing on the pasta menu stood out to me so I requested a pasta pesto dish which the chef lorenzo happily obliged too. It was delicious! I was very grateful. The food was hot & full of flavor! Much more interesting than the dull patrons. Was most impressed with the bill! Cheap... More

Went for friends farewell party. She & I both ordered a bacon pasta dish. Pasta was stuck together, lukewarm, had to search for the microscopic tidbits of bacon. Guessed there was one Cherrytruss tomato dispersed between our 2 bowls. Bland, tasteless and foul. Waitress looked embarrassed when clearing the still almost full bowls from us both. Sure she's used to... More

I reviewed this restaurant a while back but I'm quite flabbergasted by the last few 'reviews' of this place. One report whinges about the place closing it's kitchen at 845 on a Sunday night-----Here's the deal, love, I WAS THERE ON THAT LONG WEEKEND SUNDAY. My wife and I were over for the long weekend and went to the movies... More

Two very hungry diners fancying Pizza, Both have experienced Wonderful pizza from the Calabrisella albeit a couple of years ago, Both of us sat disappointed with the dismal things we received. My partner ordered a Napoleatana, Anchovies, Olives and Oregano. Now when someone orders a pizza with Anchovies, it is because they LIKE Anchovies. What we received was a pizza... More

Thought we'd give this local haunt a go and was pleasnatly suprised - first time. The second visit was a disaster, we didn't get the table we booked a week prior, extremely rude and sighing staff, confusion and a most dreadful slap up excuse for intalian cuisine which my friend could not finish - goes to show you should try...

We called in on a busy Sunday night in Launceston on the March long weekend expecting we might still get a meal at 8.45pm, but no, the kitchen was doing pizza and pasta only. We moved on to another establishment which was only to happy to take our money. Place looked exactly as it did 20 years ago, tired and... More

I read some other reviews from this site are it certainly didn't live up to what others had said. Desserts definitely not homemade as stated. Very disappointing. More

We rank this restaurant as our favourite Italian place in town. The setting isn't as good as some places being on a main road and the interior is a little on the cheap side. However the food is excellent and we have never had a problem with the quality. The wine range is limited as are the desserts. However all... More
