Tesoro
Tesoro, meaning “treasure”, is an ode to the Tasmanian farmers, crafters, and purveyors that help showcase the real art of Italian cuisine, and this New Year's Eve, the restaurant will be open and serving their delicious a la carte and Chef's Road Trip menus for dinner.
Made up of humble, uncomplicated food that packs a flavourful punch, the menu is evocative, emotional, and passionate – just like Italians. For NYE, the bar staff will mix up a special cocktail, and a beverage package is available to make the night one to remember! Once the restaurant shuts at 9.30 pm, you're less than 10 minutes by foot to the action at the waterfront.
