   We felt like we were eating at the chef's home. The atmosphere is outstanding. The owners — both chefs — are now out on the floor taking orders, delivering meals, and genuinely engaging with diners. That personal, family-style approach creates a warm, homely feel. They have very capable chefs now to support them in the kitchen. Four of us dined there last night and every dish was spot on. Two pastas, one pizza, one steak and salad — all superb. My wife is gluten-free and said it was the best meal she’s had in a very long time. Fresh, simple, generous. She ordered the Tagliata di Manzo (sliced wood-fired eye fillet, medium-rare, with basil pesto, rocket, and shaved parmigiano reggiano) and absolutely loved it. Outstanding experience. We’ll be back again and again.

   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The food here is absolutely amazing! The pizza is sensational , fresh dough and high-quality ingredients that taste so fresh. The pasta dishes are incredible, my favorite is the beef ragu with their fresh pasta, which is just perfect. Desserts are also outstanding. The atmosphere is super cool and welcoming. Highly recommend!!!! Definitely one of the best restaurants in Auckland!

   This is by far the best restaurant in Auckland. The dishes were full of flavor, beautifully presented, and the staff were so friendly and attentive. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

   Delicious Neapolitan pizza with the perfect crust and fresh toppings, paired with crispy, flavorful arancini. A cozy spot with warm service and a true taste of Italy

   We went there to try the pizzas, we ordered and only then we were told that they had run out of bases so no pizzas were available, none. It means that more than half of the menu had been wiped out. Very embarrassing for an Italian restaurant. It was 7pm on a Wednesday so not that late... We asked for the menus again and we ordered the seafood risotto and the gnocchi. A bit slow service as it took nearly 45 mins to get the food but it was good. We'll try again and see if we are lucky and can try a pizza.

   Great pizza, nice people, prompt service. Limited wines, but nice choices of wines available. We had the Te Kano Kim Chardonnay and it was very nice.

   WOW how have I not been here sooner??! The wood fire pizza is AMAZING, probably the best I’ve ever had. I ordered the Artemis and the dough and flavour was perfect. This is for sure going to be our new go to :)
