When you've got something to celebrate, Fico is a food-loving Hobartian's go-to venue.
But a nine-course dégustation isn't always what you feel like on a Monday evening. Enter Pitzi (Italian for "little one"), Fico's charming new sibling, situated around the corner and open for pasta, focaccia and a glass of Chianti from 4pm.
Pitzi is brimming with cheerful casualness - a communal table at the front of the tiny space has a view of the open kitchen and tables for two and four at the elevated rear are on cosy terms with a giant metal artwork by co-owner Oskar Rossi's late father, artist Tom Samek. Don't let the casual vibe fool you though, the food here is on a par with anything at Fico.
