"After falling in love in Northern Italy and spending a year searching for the perfect city to settle down, Naples-born Federica Andrisani and Tasmanian Oskar Rossi opened Fico (meaning fig in Italian) in the heart of Hobart. The chef-owners lean toward European and Italian flavors with dishes like lamb brain tortellini and thick Parmesan and onion panna cotta. But they are not scared to veer away from that wheelhouse to serve crowd pleasers like soy-cured kingfish bites with wasabi cream. On Sunday, the couple create a lunch tasting menu with their morning haul from Farm Gate Market. [$$$ - $$$$]" - Audrey Bourget
