Immaculate. Unbelievable. Melt-in-your-mouth-mouth-wateringly good. Iβve spent two weeks in Italy, dined at Michelin star and similar level restaurants, and the buttered maltagliati w braised duck is the single greatest Italian dish Iβve ever had. Maybe the greatest dish Iβve ever had period. The pumpkin seeds bring it over the top. SOOOO GOOD. Their bread is also incredible, and thatβs important, since you can use the bread to wipe the plate instead of having to lick it clean (youβre going to want to). Service was perfect too. The one complaint I have is that the server didnβt seem as excited as I was when I told him how good the food was. That only matters because I needed someone to share my excitement with, since I was absolutely overflowing with emotion from this dish. It might have been the single glass of Italian wine, but I almost cried. Please eat here. Thank you.

Great food great atmosphere. Professional service. Explained the whole menu. Food was delicious especially the lamb meatballs. Duck pasta was little salty but it was good. Just one feedback, water glasses smell like egg, not sure why. Apart from that everything was spot on.

Baduzzi is so yum! Was greeted by a very friendly host and the service was very quick. The shift manager and our waitress were very helpful when it came to understanding the menu so we ordered all the tastiest items! We had the stracciatella for the appetizer with the venison meatballs, the garganelli lamb neck ragu and the maltagliati for the main. Amazing experience and would come back!

Had such a great time at Baduzzi! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for both a casual meal or a special night out. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly without being over the top. The food was outstanding , every dish was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The meatballs are a must-try, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. Overall, it felt like a really genuine Italian dining experience with a nice balance of elegance and comfort. Definitely a spot Iβd recommend and canβt wait to go back!

Wonderful food and service! We couldn't decide which dishes to choose so we ordered extra and had a lovely feast made extra special by the attentiveness of the staff who overheard we had a birthday at the table. Would recommend the Chicken saltimbocca, Pasta alforno and Agnolotti of gurnard & scampi especially.

If you're going to a show at the ASB Waterfront Theatre, Baduzzi is a fantastic choice which is close by and has some delicious food. We loved the meat balls and the eggplant parmigiana was amazing. Great drinks selection. Perfect place for a meal.

Popped here after hitting up a film at the ASB Theatre. I've been here plenty of times and it is consistently good. We were walk-ins tonight but were very kindly accommodated. Ordered the beef meatballs, steak, saffron tortellini and the polenta. The food was incredibly tasty. The tortellini was a bit small but the flavour carried it. The service and cocktails were impeccable. If you're looking for a great date spot, this is it.

Amazing Italian food, and great atmosphere with excellent service. Nothing is more welcoming than stepping into this place after a wet and windy stroll across the docklands. I was not particularly hungry so we got an appetiser and some meatballs. Excellent service with the waiter and the meatballs were incredible, seasoned well with a refreshing tomato based sauce. The waiter also offered some bread to soak up the sauce which is very smart. I would go back again but hungry this time.

Food was very good, especially the bread with olive oil and olives as a starter. The bread has a smoked crust! Even though the food was good, the portion sizes were incredibly small and not worth the money. Feels a bit overpriced too. Drinks are good as well. Service is super kind and brings you into a good mood!
