Italian restaurant in Lower Hutt

“Very friendly people, great customer service, amazing varied range of creative pizzas, and good selection of sides and desserts. They were the only place open on christmas day evening so very thankful!”

“As the name says, it's truly an ltalian delicacy. We ordered Pollo chicken pizza , beef cutlet andTiramisu. Pizza's crust was soft and chicken was juicy. The flavour and herb combination was just awesome. Triamisu was really moist and the coffee liquor was so precise to the point which was prefect. Looking forward to order more....”

“We went in on a quiet night. The food was great. We got the beef wellington and seafood chowder. Our server was kind and made sure to let us know about the dessert special they had that day. One of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Highly recommend.”

“MaybeI was lucky but the staff suggested specials and I spent less than I thought I would was quite pleased”

“absolute service tonight where my card was declined had to top up phone get into my bank and pay for the meal. sooo much patience of staff. thank you for your efforts”

“A lovely cafe on Jackson St with heaps of cabinet food and full menu available. Portions are huge so do take that into consideration if you’re a light eater. Daily specials are often changing on the blackboard. Extremely friendly service and dogs are allowed at the rear of the cafe. It does get busy on weekend mornings so bookings are essential. Lots of parking but be prepared for a wee stroll if it’s busy.”

“Kaitlyn and Zuri made an amazing footlong and had awesome customer service. Super friendly, fast, and nailed the sandwich perfectly. One of the best Subway visits I’ve had!”

“Definitely my fave place to go for Italian food! The perfect blend of flavours in the pizza that were not over powering but also not boring either. The food was very well prepared, served hot and service was exceptional. Pasta fabulous texture and taste. Calamari is a MUST! Deserts were wonderful too. Overall, loved the food and vibe here and would come back.”

“2 words....Crazy Good! Thanks to our host Anthony, The Chefs and crew for an outstanding Italian experience. Honestly the best Pasta I've tried. This restaurant is another great addition to the Petone food scene on Jackson. Unbelievable food, exceptional service and nice relaxed atmosphere. Thanks, we will be back for more!”

“Had the most lovely first experience at grazie lower Hutt. Didn't know what to expect but the service was excellent, friendly and not over the top. My partner and I shared two starters- calamari and truffle butter flatbread and wow was not expecting such generous portions. The calamari was light and perfectly cooked and a hidden treat of fried zucchini at the bottom were so delicious I would love to be able to order just a bowl of those! I had the mushroom and leek fettuccine with toasted pistachios for main. It was very indulgent and delicious, my only criticism would be it was a tad too creamy but I think that's a preference thing and after the big starters it wrecked me a bit. My partner really enjoyed the brisket Cannelloni. We had no room for dessert but looked great! Not a cheap place but I feel the quality and portion size makes it worth it. Will definitely return for another special date night ❣️”

“The food and the service was excellent. Pizza was delicious and staff were friendly. Everything happened in a very timely manner despite there being several large groups in. 10/10 would recommend. It was really quite loud inside though which is to be expected in a busy restaurant”

“Olé is amazing! If you are looking for something more interesting than Asian or Italian- this is your place. The tapas portions are generous and delicious. We had the pomegranate and home made lemonade drinks and they are divine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience, the food is prompt and tasty and the service is excellent. We left full and impressed. We’ve been to Spain and the food at olé is authentic and awesome.”

“Just had the best service (and yummy meal, as always). There was a small error in the kitchen with my GF pizza, and it had to be remade. They were so apologetic, and even gave me a free dessert! I was more than happy to wait, and didn't expect anything free, but was so touched by the offer and incredibly impressed by the service. We will definitely be back! I was also very impressed at how careful they were with cross contamination. Would recommend for anyone with allergies, particularly GF, they take them seriously!!”

“The pizzas are always good here, and the staff are always friendly and helpful.”

“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.”

“Best Hells pizza in the hutt, quality is consistently high and I'm never disappointed. Got the vegan burger pizza, best vegan pizza around.”

“Stopped into Pepes on Saturday night. Ordered the Prosciutto Pizza and it did not disappoint. Noticed it has new managedment too..One of the best crusts i have experienced on a pizza and fresh ingredients! Place has been tidied up really nicely and was nice n clean. Pizza took around 10 minutes. I fully recommend a visit to Pepe's pizza if you want great pizza.”

“Bikaner has made an impressive leap forward since my last visit. The food quality, presentation, and service have all noticeably improved. The expanded menu offers a great mix of authentic flavours and innovative new dishes. The atmosphere feels more welcoming and refined, making it a truly enjoyable dining experience. Their revamped website also deserves a mention — clean design, smooth navigation, and an excellent user interface. It’s clear Bikaner has stepped up its game and set a higher standard for Indian dining in the area.”

“Easy ordering online which allows you to pay in store. We arrived at the store and our order was ready. Pizzas and garlic bread were delicious. Loved the cheesy garlic crust on one of our pizzas. The dough was very crispy.”
