My guess is this is the best Italian pizza restaurant in Hobart :) Go up KELLYS STEPS from Salamanca, follow the rd up, left at the nice pub. A five minute walk from Salamanca Place or 10 minutes from the city. The meals were a bit pricey and not so generous but the pizzas were brilliant!

NOTE: When travelling in Tassie it is recommended that you always check pricing & availability on your preferred travel date! Because it is a small island it is not always bustling with tourists and some tours only run during peak periods.
Wineglass Bay - Does it get any more beautiful than this? I think not.
