Didn’t expect this place to be this good, but yeah Italian food here actually slaps Kinda wild how many spots there are in the CBD, yet this one still stands out. If you’re craving proper, classic Italian food, this is the move. The tiramisu and the MAC were unreal, like way better than expected. Would 100% come back just for those
Honestly this is one of the best carbonara’s I have had but don’t expect authentic carbonara. The cream sauce was a thin consistency but plenty of it and piping hot. The choice of pasta, cheese and bread crumbs were nice added extras. The large was pretty sizeable so I think a medium would be better for a lunch time!
A delicious option if you're in the mood for pasta! We stopped by on a Sunday night and had spaghetti with lamb ragu and spaghetti with creamy mushroom sauce. Both were delicious with obviously freshly-made pasta and rich sauces. We got added parmesan & mozzarella on both, which was a bit much especially with the mushrooms - we probably wouldn't do that next time. Overall we paid NZ$45 for two big pasta dishes here which is a bit pricey for pasta but in line with the area. Food: 5/5 - as written above both dishes were fantastic and we ate every bit. Would definitely go back again. Service: 4/5 - it's a counter-serve takeout place so the service is pretty much non-existent. Nothing wrong here at all but I didn't like ordering from a kiosk. Maybe it's old-fashioned but I prefer ordering from a person :) Atmosphere: 4/5 - it's in a food court. A nice, upscale food court, but still a food court, so loud and sometimes crowded.
Best pasta and pizza, didn’t expect this! We thought it’s just food court food but their pasta and pizza are even better their high end restaurants!!!!! Amazing!!!!! Real fresh pasta and lamb ragu is sooo tasty, full of flavors!
Expensive - $16.90 for a standard creamy mushroom with macaroni and $21 for a lamb ragu with spaghetti. creamy mushroom macaroni wasn’t that great, the bottom bit was hot and the top bit was a mixture of warm and cold pasta, would be great if the sauce is more creamier. lamb ragu spaghetti was delicious! this one I really enjoyed.
I had the pesto macaronis & extra dried tomatoe. I started eating right after getting my box, it was warm at some places, the rest was Cold... the pasta in itself was ok. The pesto sauce didn't have a lot of taste. There was lot of sun-dried tomatoes, good value. However, there was literally 0.5cm of oil at the bottom. I couldnt finish it. Really disappointed
Pretty good pasta. Though the sauce is a little thin, I prefer carbonara more al dente, it doesn't seem to be egg based, it's strange the default pasta isn't spaghetti, and somehow I accidentally choose to add truffle oil (my mistake but I don't remember choosing it Good thing is I didn't notice the truffle much). All that being said, it was still a tasty dish that I enjoyed and would recommend it if you're looking more for alfredo than carbonara.
Ordered the Lamb Ragu and Carbonara, as well as the Garlic Brioche with cheese sauce. The portions of pasta were really good value for money and tasted delicious. You would be paying a lot more at a Italian Restaurant, but you get the quality food at the Food Court price. Order via the self-service kiosk
