Best Italian food I’ve ever had in Auckland. Love the steak, the calamari and bolognaise spaghetti. The tiramisu is nice too.
Great food, excellent wine options, and fantastic service from the owner. The chicken liver parfait and the fried bread as entrees are really tasty and well recommended. I had the fettuccini with chicken and it arrived hot, tasty and a large portion size. I loved it. Watch out for the grappa at the end of the meal though! The restaurant has a mix of inside and outside dining.
This has fast become our favourite local. We have been going here for years and when new ownership took over a few years back we were a bit worried everything we loved would go. Hard to take over at the beginning of the pandemic. The team has done an amazing job great menu's lovely service and we now go here by preference. Its all worth trying. :)
Top place. Food, atmosphere, and service are topnotch. All the staff went the extra mile. Great selection of good drinks, too. Will be back.
This restaurant deserves a five-star rating! We reserved a table for my family and a friend family, to celebrate my son's birthday! Although you don't see many staffs at this restaurant, but we had never felt being left alone. And every staff came with a smile. After all, it was a beautiful night with very tadty food, and we feel very welcomed, so much grateful to the restaurant staffs and manager!
Usually with mission bay restaurants you are paying for location more so than the food. Not the case here though where the food is high quality; good ingredients and cooked expertly. The duck ragout was one of my best meals I've had in a long time (and pasta isn't something I'm usually a big fan of). My wifes snapper was also cooked perfectly. Chefs are clearly passionate and creative about food, it shows in the results.
Absolute delight! We had the Saturday special which was a Duck Ragu which came with a wine pairing and the winter 3 course meal. Which we chose burrata, steak, tiramisu & 200ml peroni. The staff recommended a dessert wine with the tiramisu which complemented it perfectly! The steak was large and was flavoured and cooked perfectly, my partner was so close to licking the plate. My duck ragu was amazing, the pickled cherries added a great touch. Staff were amazing!
One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had…everything hit the mark; food, drinks, atmosphere and last but not least, hospitality. The staff were incredibly welcoming and interested in talking with us, genuinely passionate about their craft and truly made us feel at home. Highly recommend!
Really nice restaurant, best in Mission Bay. Really nice food, great choice of wine. Very friendly and attentive staff. Inside has been updated and is really nice, cosy with perfect level of noise (quiet). More upmarket than rest of Mission Bay and very much worth it
Authentic Italian on the beachside. I’ve come here twice now to try the pizza, and it’s always been good. They have some vegan options however they are not labeled very well on the menu so you will have to ask. Portion size for the vegan pizza was average, but the other food look well well portioned. Lovely staff and a great venue, excellent date location.
