Patanella - NORTH HOBART

We had no idea of what fun we had missed out on by not dining at Patanella before. Had a delightful omelette, my husband had gnocchi and we had desserts. Rosa is very friendly and full of fun and the cafe is so fascinating with so many knick knacks. Most definitely worth a visit and we will be going back for sure.

This quirky, retro-style cafe was right at the end of the street where we were staying, so we had to check it out and what a little gem it is! The owner is super friendly, the service efficient and the coffee is great. One of us had the pancakes which arrived looking like something from Masterchef with a charred banana and a swirl of toffee - and it tasted just as good as it looked. It appears to have a really strong local clientele too, which is always a good sign. I wish I had a cafe like this near my street!

Second visit did not disappoint. Soo good. Tried the gnocchi and oh so good. Melted in mouth experience.

I had heard about this little find and finally managed to experience the unique homely happy welcoming cafe once you step in the door! Rosa is a delight and it is like walking into someone's home for a visit. Now to mention the coffee which I have to say is one of the best I have had here in Hobart. The food on all levels is more than delicious! I had the Stracciatella Italian chicken soup yummy! Then my friend and I had the citrus tart simply delicious on all levels! The ambience the music our era was fab and I cannot wait to go back with my husband and other friends. I may even try the pasta classes that she is running sure to be lot's of fun. For all those visiting our beautiful State this lovely little cafe is not to be missed if you want to experience italian cooking warmth and hospitality at it's best and Rosa will make sure that your time in her cute cafe will be something you will definitely remember!

Patanella is a small cafe in North Hobart. Quirky and fun and a range of comfy seating options. The menu is varied and interesting and attracts locals and 'walking to work' drop ins. Coffee is good, newspapers available, what more could you want?
