   Do not be fooled by how good the dishes look.. they tasted so average! If you’re looking for big quantities of below average food then this is the place. The calamari was bland, the crumb didn’t really stick and it definitely needed some salt. The pizza was also extremely bland and soggy. Basically the only thing you can taste is cheese. Please believe the rest of the reviews when they say the pizza is soggy because it is and it’s sickly. We ordered half and half and they were both terrible (La Porchetta Original and Chicken and Cranberry). The carbonara was also sickly and drowning in cream. It tasted like flour and was disappointing.. the leftovers the next day were even worse. The tiramisu was probably one of the worst ones I’ve ever had.. the lady fingers were barely soaked and where was the cocoa powder? The best dish of the night was the pana cotta but again.. I’ve never had it before so I have nothing to compare it to. Would not recommend going here!

   Service was very good staff are friendly and were attentive, place was clean. I really enjoyed the pizza it was cheesy well cooked, seafood chowder was nice and creamy, ragu wasnt my favourite but it was okay, my first time trying ragu, maybe not for me. Overall no complaints, would come back.

   Had meatballs and wedges. Delicious. Other person has steak, mashed potatoes and fries. Steak cooked perfectly. Took some away. Nice to be able to buy jug of soft drinks. Will be going back.

   Service was horrible, food was over cooked, pasta was too runny, and literally tasted like tomato sauce. Steak was over cooked and chewy though we asked for medium rare, chips were over fried and the 3rd pasta dish we got literally was like soup it was floating in so much cream. Came for birthday dinner the waiters are all over the place had to ask three times to be moved to a corner area. Wouldn’t recommend dinning at this location.

   Super yummy! The gnocchi is absolutely delicious, got it with the creamy avocado and chicken sauce. The pizza is also great, plentiful with toppings and great portions!

   Great value family and everyday restaurant. Food is good with generous portion and fair price. Service is good where table is clean and staff is friendly. Pasta and pizza are popular here and deservedly so.

   The worst restaurant ever visited in AUCKLAND. PATHETIC FOOD & SERVICE. Upon reaching the restaurant at 7.45pm there was a sign board. Stating “Please wait here to be seated”. But was waiting there for almost 5min to be seated but non of the staff approached and we had to walk in ourself. Upon self seated after requesting 3 times the water was served this was at 8.10pm. Within 5min the waiter can and asked if we were ready for start our dinner. We were not ready still we ordered some starter to start. Since we were 12 of us and didn’t want the kitchen to get over loaded. Then within 5min the server comes back and ask if we were ready to order our next dish maybe more starter or mains. We ordered some pizza which was at 8.25pm. Before the arrival of this order the server come and tell our kitchen will close at 9pm would you like to order main’s around 8.30pm. Still without getting our starter we ordered our mains. And the mains were served without clearing the dirty small plates and without cutlery. Steak was over cooked we asked for Medium Well but we got Over done. Tomato pasta was dry. Prawn pasta was very fishy as the prawns were not fresh THE MOST IMPORTANT WE WERE TABLE OF 12 PEOPLE BUT THE SERVER SERVING OUR SERVER WAS TRAINEE.
