Some friends, family and i booked a table of 5 for a late lunch at this Restaurant on the 31st of August 2024. 3 Adults, 2 Children. The place was under the pump from the get go however it seemed like the kitchen and staff were all well prepared to take us in. The Kitchen serves primarily authentic Italian cuisine however they were able to cater for the kids, and adults, dietry requirements and preferances. The food here was delicious, as were the mocktails, cocktails and desserts. The vibe was modern however the decor and pictures on the wall were a little more traditional - but that only added to the overall feel and warmth of the place. An open kitchen kept the young ones entertained and it was great to see the staff preparing not just our own meals, but the other customers as well with equal gusto.. The lady and gentleman who served us were on point and we really felt that our needs were being attended to. The pricing was very reasonable considering the quality of the meals and serving size - so i totally hope to be back sometime soon in the near future. Thank you Cultura for making the moment amongst friends and family a cherishable one!

We had lunch here today (Friday), and everything exceeded expectation. My partner had the Sicilian duck slow braised with red wine, dried fruit, chilli, served with chestnut gnocchi and greens ($46); and I had the spagnolo prawns, chorizo, pine nuts, garlic, chilli, finished with lemon juice and pangrattato ($36). We shared a salad of pan roasted cauliflower served with a sweet potato puree, pickled vegetables and a raisin dressing, with notes of gorgonzola ($24). There was a good selection of Italian and Australian wines. Service was friendly and attentive but unobtrusive. We hadn't booked and it seems we were lucky to get a table; the place really filled up, so I would recommend booking.

Good service, friendly staff, excellent menu with the option of gluten free. The food when delivered by an excellent waiter, was delicious I settled for the veal, gluten free, other’s had similar but not the gluten free variety. At the table some of the party wanted the garlic bread, its presentation was different, as are most restaurants, but still delicious. The drink menu costs are similar to most restaurants, not really over the top. The cost of the food, higher 30s lower 40s, but you are paying for quality. Would I go back YES.

Our dining experience at Cultura was a delight. The service was impeccable and nothing was too much trouble for the waitstaff. The gnocchi was an absolute knockout- perfect little pillows that melted in the mouth with a rich ragu. The pizza was also delicious. My only minor criticism is that the portion sizes were a little small. However, overall a very enjoyable dinner and we would definitely return.

Cultura’s staff are amazing, and the food is delicious. They we very accommodating with my food allergies and even picked up that there was something wrong with my dish, before it came to the table, and just sorted it out. Dining with food allergies is not always easy, but Culura made it so. Highly recommended for anyone gluten and dairy free

We read great reviews about this place so we had to try it. On arrival the waiter was very welcoming. Our meals were amazing, complementsto the chef. After our meal we ordered 2 short black coffees , waiter brings out 2 long black coffees. I said these are not short. He insisted that they were. Mmm coming from Italian background and living in Melbourne I think I know what a short coffee is. If I’m wrong maybe google it. Bit disappointed.

When I booked this for our family dinner, I did not know what to expect from a restaurant that has a coffee connotation in its name. But then it said it was No. 1 which made me curious. The experience with the service and the food was second to none in Hobart. We all had different pasta and they were all nicely cooked and with such flavor. The restaurant owner Luke does more than his fair share of taking and serving orders but he spent time telling us about the history of how his family came to Australia many decades ago. He epitomizes someone who dreams and does not let anything or anyone get in the way of making his dreams become reality (in a good way). Well done Luke to you and your team. Thanks for a fantastic dinner.

I used to work with Luke’s grandmother over forty years ago. She didn’t speak any English and I didn’t speak any Sicilian, but she made the best minestrone soup I have ever tasted. Luke doesn’t have minestrone on the menu, but he does serve the best risotto I’ve eaten. Most places make it far too salty for my taste. The Sicilian duck is stunning to say the least; I don’t usually enjoy fruit with my meat, but this dish was one of the best I’ve eaten. While not everything I’ve eaten at Cultura has been stunning, I have never been even the tiniest bit disappointed. The waiter and waitress provide excellent service without servility and the prices are well below establishments providing lesser fare. Absolutely top notch on every count.

Visited Cultura for a casual mid-week dinner, as it was nice and close to my hotel. Ordered the pan seared calamari served on ciabatta with garlic, chilli, bitter leaves and balsamic as an entree and a fettuccine carbonara for the main. Both were delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend for a quality Italian meal in Hobart!

So glad we went here! An unassuming street frontage leads you into a perfect small restaurant. We were seated at a table near the bar and were able to observe the way the glasses were immaculately prepared . It’s a small thing but points to the pride this restaurant has in presentation. We started with the most delicious bruschetta I think I’ve ever had. The toasted bread was perfectly toasted on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside allowing the flavour of the tomato topping to blend through. I had the ragu with fettuccine and it was so silky and flavoursome. The atmosphere was relaxing and energetic at the same time and the staff welcoming and professional. All in all a fabulous meal and we’ll definitely be back next time in Hobart

We were here for a group dinner and we couldn't have asked for better service. The food of pasta and pizza was plentiful and tasty. Indeed it was not possible to eat all that we were given which for $ 35 a head was hard to believe. The wine was also of good quality and well priced and the knowledge of their Italian offerings was strong. The Pecorino Vellodoro $ 44 and Barbera Monferrato $49 were both tasty. I couldn't fit in dessert however the cheesecake was pronounced a winner. Great place to bring the family, indeed although this sounds cliched the place felt like family.

We were staying in Hobart and just passed the door and decided to see if I could make a booking four 4 people, it was a Saturday night so I thought I might be pushing my luck. I was greeted by very friendly staff and was informed I could get a table at 6-30pm. What a great atmosphere to start with and then came the food we all had starters which were excellent, I ordered Sicillian Duck which was the best duck I have tasted, cooked to perfection tender, tasty and not dry as some duck dishes can be. My Wife had the market fish and again was cooked to perfection. We have traveled extensively throughout Australia and the World and Cultura Restaurant was one of the best Italian Restaurants we have eaten in, not only the food was spectacular but the ambience and staff were great, would go there again when we are next in Hobart a very pleasant surprise. Well done to the Owner, Chef and staff.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Cultura. The food was delicious and all our complicated dietary requirements , which we noted when we booked, were looked after with a smile. Delightful wait staff and cosy, comfortable yet stylish surroundings. Will definitely go back when in Hobart again

We were referred to Cultura when another restaurant we wanted to try was full. It was a great recommendation. The bruschetta was fresh, and perfectly balanced with balsamic and seasoning. The pizzas were generous, and the rocket, pear, Parmesan and walnut salad very tasty. An Italian Chianti complemented the meal well. Our waiter was attentive and helpful, and the atmosphere was great. We’d be very happy to eat there again.

We visited Culture while staying at the Crowne across the the road and both the food and service were faultless. The gnocchi Gorgonzola was the best I have ever had and the lasagna pizza and calzone were also exceptional. Giovanni and Dan were very attentive, knew their dishes well and entertained the whole family with a great sense of humour. Wanting to fly back soon from WA just to visit this amazing Italian restaurant again WOW!
