We enjoyed our Porchetta and Lasagna. All good and we surely come back in the future. Thanks, Hanneke and the rest of the team.”

“Lovely Italian restaurant by the Wellington Bay. I had a working lunch here with some colleagues and we did enjoy great food and drinks. I tried the risotto and I love it. We also tried pizza, calamari, the bread, and gelato. The service is fast and the staff is friendly. It has beautiful view for sure. Parking can be a bit challenging.”

“Considering the subway store is in a fairly remote location, I can't really complain much. There was just one person working in the morning (around 9:30)and it was really busy. She made an amazing sub and was doing her best. People complaining about no smile no greetings, don't understand how it feels to work in a busy fastfood store managing hundreds of things at the same time.”

The food was delicious. Large meals. Wanted to try the dessert but didn't have enough room in our bellies from the delicious food. Love the garlic loaf and the mocktails were yummy.”

“Best good quality pizza in ponsonby, at $6 a slice it's not too cheap but it's also not too expensive after you try it. The house special is the asparagus and brie slice, it redefines pizza. Seriously.”

“SCORE: 85/100 I saw that Due Amici had a lot of positive reviews in Google, so I gave this a go. Booked a day before for two and had no problems. They were extremely busy, which reflects their ratings clearly. Had their signature pizza, which was great and a pasta dish I forget the name of. Both were great. I would definitely go back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend.”
