1. Peter K ★★★☆☆

   Jovan's Kitchen in Upper Hutt, New Zealand, presents itself as an authentic Italian dining experience, boasting a commitment to using the finest local and imported ingredients prepared with traditional methods and spirit. The restaurant emphasizes the Italian culinary tradition of crafting their own sauces and breads, showcasing a dedication to freshness and respect for every ingredient. While the atmosphere and ambiance of Jovan's Kitchen may appeal to those seeking a taste of Italy, the overall dining experience falls short of expectations. The food, while decent, fails to leave a lasting impression. The dishes are okay, but lack the special touch that would make them stand out. The slightly overpriced menu adds to the disappointment, as patrons may find themselves expecting a more exceptional culinary experience for the cost. Jovan's Kitchen may appeal to those looking for a casual Italian meal in Upper Hutt, but those seeking a truly remarkable and memorable dining experience may want to explore other options in the area.

   We get delivery to our house and the smoked salmon pasta is absolutely amazing! Tastes just as good for leftovers the next day too as it’s a really decent sized portion :)

   Reserved table for 7 for dinner. All ready for us. Great service, problem with my order and I'm pleased to say the manager on duty dealt with my complaint very satisfactorily. Great value.

   Very clean and tidy and plenty of room between tables so you don't feel claustrophobic. Really nice breads to start and very friendly and prompt service and or waitress came back just at the right time to check if we wanted more drinks. Quick service and really good portion sizes. Meals were all very nice and the excellent service continued. All in all a really nice meal. Will be going back.

   Always willing to go there and we did it today. Ordered spaghetti carbonara and seafood risotto. Pasta drowned in some sort of cheese sauce of unknown source. I wouldn't call it carbonara at all. Rissoto was completely tasteless. Literally boild rice with diced tomatoes from the can and seafood. But Jovan's staff act professionally and charged us only for the pasta and drinks.
