“Amazing food! Loved the starters, pizza, pasta, and dessert. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. The other staff were also very nice and efficient. They definitely deserve all the prizes they’ve won for their pizza! I’m more of a pasta gal, but my husband was on pizza induced cloud nine. Probably the most authentic Italian food we’ve had since moving to New Zealand!”

“Fantastic service and great atmosphere. What I liked about it was the restaurant appeared to have a lot of regulars. They could also handle our group of 8 which was great”

“Had dinner at Portofino Takapuna, an authentic Italian restaurant by the beach. I ordered the Prosciutto Pizza and Seafood Risotto—both were absolutely amazing. The pizza was perfectly baked with a thin, crispy base and generous toppings, while the risotto was rich, creamy, and full of fresh seafood flavours. A truly delightful dining experience that captures the taste of Italy right here in Takapuna. Highly recommended!”

“We love Pizzas & Mocktails. Really nice food for a reasonable price, good variety, and they’re always made quickly as well. This place is one of only two decent takeaways places in the area. Definitely recommend!”

“Tried ordering online and phone callng in 20mins before closing time but unsuccessful. I decided to drive in to order & pickup as I was in the area, arrived 7mins before closing @11pm, served by Anusheel and his nightshift team without hesitation. Exceptional service boys. Appreciate.”

“This place is awesome! Highly recommend! We were given cups for our drinks for free! Super polite, they put on a great show while making our pizza, the man there was super kind and helpful, us 6 kids had the time of our lives! If I could give 6 or more star I would! They also turned the TV on what we wanted, and we didn't even ask. Also the pizza is top quality.”

“I’ve had many subway sandwiches in my time. I’ve had bad experiences, average ones, and a handful of good ones. I’m happy to concede that my time spent at Miramar Subway was one of the best I’ve ever had the god given pleasure of experiencing. George and Chanel (Chanelle? Shanelle? Please excuse me if my spelling is wrong) treated me to the finest 12 inches I’ve ever consumed. The sandwich itself was close to perfection, but the service is what really topped it off. Warm smiles were shown, a few jokes were cracked, and I left feeling like I’d made two new friends. I’m sure the two will go on to have prosperous Subway careers”

“I ordered a box of sandwiches for an event the Lower Hutt team absolutely nailed it in 15min. Thank you to the team that was working as it was urgent and they didn’t complain they just got it done. Really appreciate you guys.”

“We had the most amazing time here and didn’t want to leave! Perfect location just a bus ride into the city which leaves from outside. The room was perfect exactly what we needed and the bed was so comfortable. The food in the restaurant/bar was amazing and extra points for the good Guiness which my partner said was the best one he’s had in New Zealand!! Top class service and hospitality, shoutout to the manager who really engaged with us throughout our trip and who was always up for a chat, he took care of everything we needed throughout our trip and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely recommend staying here to everyone traveling to Christchurch and would love to return again.”

“Our new go to local, food always fast, nice substantial. Staff are awesome and attentive to requests and needs.”

“I dined here with my partner for dinner and from start to finish we had outstanding service. Very friendly and welcoming staff with warm smiles. Our food wasn’t rushed out which we loved including not rushing our our main after entree. The food was amazing! One of the best we have had and so nicely presented. I highly recommend this restaurant!”
