23.01.2022 A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Tasmanian Police Charity ride this year. Over $40,000.00 raised for Tasmanian Charities Speak up stay ChatTY and ...Variety for kids Tasmania. Tough as it was, at the end of the Challenge our suffering and difficulties could be left behind. Which is more than can said for those who these charities do so much for with very limited resources. Its not too late to make a donation if you havent already and would like to. See more

23.01.2022 Thanks to generous donations from family, friends and our awesome suppliers at the Pasta merchant I have exceeded my initial goal.

23.01.2022 Hey Brittany Congratulations! We hope your Mum has a lovely day tomorrow. We'll private message you with details on how to collect your prize.

23.01.2022 We wish all our customers a safe and Merry Christmas break. We are closing on the Public Holidays but the rest of the times are pretty much as normal. See you all again soon.

21.01.2022 We are working our way through this challenging time adapting on a day by day basis. Looking after the health and welfare of our customers, our staff and the broader community through our actions is our priority. We are no longer offering dine-in as an option and we encourage the use of Tap & Go where possible please. ALL our meals are, as always, available to enjoy hot or ready to heat at home at your convenience, with a refrigerated shelf life of 5 days.

21.01.2022 We’ll be re opening tomorrow with fresh floors and a special offer... There wouldn’t be many of us who haven’t been touched by breast cancer, this is my youngest cousin Tristan and sadly he lost his beautiful Mum, Annette to breast cancer in February. He decided to buy some BCNA pink socks and wear them to work as a way of not only contributing funds to BCNA but raising awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. Tristan realised his bright pink soc...ks were getting A LOT of attention and thought ‘wouldn’t it be awesome if we could get other tradies to do the same thing... ‘ WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA! So... any tradie who comes in wearing the BCNA socks and or beanie will get a free upgrade - pay for a small meal and get a large or pay for a large meal and get an extra large. This offer extends until the 12th of July. We hope all tradies will get behind this fabulous initiative - it’s such an easy way to have a massive impact and if you check out the link below there is an awesome prize to win.

17.01.2022 So this is whats happening at The Pasta Merchant today... some of the flooring thats being replaced had been in existence since it was Basils Fish and Chips shop. Weve been here for 18 years so I think its long overdue... We will be closed until Tuesday, sorry for any inconvenience that this might cause.

14.01.2022 Our pasta is made fresh daily and freezes beautifully if you want to store it away for a rainy day... Just drop your frozen pasta into lots of boiling salted water, stir and within a few minutes you can enjoy your delicious hot pasta.

14.01.2022 Little acts of kindness mean everything right now.

13.01.2022 Occasionally we are asked why we charge more to eat-in and upon explaining our reasons most people accept our reasoning and choose to eat-in or opt to take-away. Today, however, we had a particularly aggressive customer who thought it fair and reasonable to abuse one of our youngest members of staff to the point that our manager had to ask him to leave. So I'd like to publicly address this issue. We have very limited space and if we had to rely solely on eat-in customers (at ...the very reasonable prices we charge) we would be out of business in a minute... therefore we make it CHEAPER TO TAKE-AWAY. If you choose to eat-in you will receive table service, a slightly larger meal and you will be served on our crockery in a space that we rent and pay significant overheads on... alternatively if you choose to take-away you'll save yourself a couple of dollars. So... to the man who not only upset our staff but other customers as well, your behaviour was unacceptable and you are very lucky that I haven't posted the CCTV footage of your rant as you deserve to be named and shamed.

12.01.2022 People are often surprised (myself included) by the quantity of pasta and sauce we make each day from our little kitchen... here we have 70kg of tomatoes bubbling away to make our sauce, 50+kgs each of spaghetti and fettuccine, I dont even know how much ravioli and as for the spirals and shells ... but were well stocked and tomorrow well just be making more.

11.01.2022 Open until 9 tonight as usual.

11.01.2022 Theres so much at the moment that we dont know and cant control and that can make us feel a little anxious so its super important that we focus on the little things that we CAN control. Enjoy the sun, walk the dog, have a gelato... the little things can make a big difference. Have a great day.
