About 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.

  • Engaging Open-Kitchen Atmosphere

    The high-energy open kitchen and welcoming counter bar allow diners to watch the culinary brigade craft handmade pastas, fire pizzas, and plate fresh catches up close.

    We love the open kitchen and watching the chefs work, was busy but not too noisy. Really terrific all around.

  • Curated Sommelier Pairings

    In-house sommeliers offer attentive tableside guidance, walking guests through wine origins and matching pours to shared tasting courses.

    The sommeliers were exceptional. They took the time to inform us about the wines, explaining the flavours and pairing them perfectly with our meals.
