Book NowAbout Peppina
Peppina delivers a spirited Tasmanian take on Italian dining, turning local island bounty into soulful, wood-fired plates. An open kitchen drives the room with kinetic energy—chefs churning out warm pizza fritta, tender venison arrosticini, and duck ragù. Regulars look to the floor sommelier for tailored cellar pours to navigate the shared plates. Milestone tables often catch a welcoming glass of Tasmanian sparkling or finish with birthday cannoli. Grab a stool at the bar, sip an 'Oh Honey' cocktail, and pair line-caught snapper with Boomer Bay oysters.
- Tasmanian-Italian Fare: Local waters and pastures lead the kitchen, from Bruny Island oysters to slow-braised duck ragù and line-caught Bass Strait fish.
- Open Kitchen Buzz: Chefs fire plates in full view across an expansive dining room that hums with upbeat momentum.
- Attentive Hospitality & Pairings: The floor sommelier guides curated pairings while staff frequently mark anniversaries and birthdays with celebratory touches.
