Da Angelo Ristorante

Da Angelo Ristorante has been part of Battery Point’s dining scene since 1994, when Angelo Fraraccio opened the restaurant with a focus on traditional Italian cooking, fresh pizza and pasta. The business has since grown into a family-run operation, with Angelo’s great business partner Marco Caporelli joining in 2003 and the next generation now involved. Head chefs and part-owners Sam Holmes and Roberto Caporelli lead the kitchen, combining a respect for established Italian traditions with their own creativity and consistency.

Fresh pasta is central to the restaurant’s offering. It is made daily in-house, including fettuccine, ravioli, gnocchi and macaroni, with sauces prepared slowly and fillings made generously. The menu also includes a broad selection of pizza, calzoni, risotto, meat and chicken dishes, salads, soups and house-made desserts. Gluten-free pasta is available, while gluten-free pizza is offered in large size. For takeaway, Da Angelo caters for large orders and provides pizza, calzoni, gnocchi, ravioli and desserts.

The menu has plenty of familiar Italian choices alongside more elaborate combinations. Spaghetti Marinara brings together prawns, calamari, scallops and mussels with a choice of tomato or white-wine cream sauce, while the house-made ravioli comes with meat, pumpkin or ricotta fillings. Pizza options range from Margherita and Napoletana to gourmet choices such as Chicken Brie and Italian Classico. For dessert, the in-house tiramisu, Da Angelo Iced Marsala Cheesecake and affogato provide a distinctly Italian finish.

The restaurant describes its atmosphere as warm and welcoming, and the stories shared on its website reflect a venue used for anniversaries, family milestones, group dinners and casual meals by visitors to Hobart. That makes it a practical choice for couples, families, larger groups and tourists looking for an established Italian restaurant in Battery Point. Da Angelo’s strong Google rating of 4.8 from 2,325 reviews also indicates a substantial base of positive customer feedback. Dine-in and takeaway are available, with online ordering, bookings and gift cards offered through the restaurant’s website.
