O. L.

All in all a great experience here at iTi. The service was great! Although we did get the "you're not from here" vibes from other patrons which made us feel uneasy being citizens of NZ. The food was awesome, the wings could do with a bit more kick. The steak was perfect but the fish still needs work.

K. N.

One of the best places to eat/drink in West Auckland. The atmosphere is so comfortable and relaxing. The food was also really good, had a great crispy chicken salad, and my friends just got a regular side of fries. The portions were pretty good for their price. The drinks were also HUGE, and completely worth the price. The servers were also really good, they were so nice and I loved chatting with them. Will definitely return at some point.

M. B.

Words cannot describe how amazing this place is. The staff there are extremely attentive and were very thorough to cater myself with a nut allergy. The staff were all positive and really easy to talk to. They had knowledge of the food and drinks that they were serving and just made the night seamless and smooth. The food is next level fine dining at a excellent price. The vegetarian options and vegan options are just as good as the rest of the menu. You would be crazy to not visit here!!!

A. W.

One of fave locals, wonderful food and beverage, warm cosy decor and excellent staff. Dined 3 times and will always return, good place to go with friends and family

C. C.

Super friendly staff and a great place to stop in on the way to or from Piha. Highly recommended. I had the Mushroom Pappardelle which was super tastey and jam packed full of flavour. The bloody Mary was perfectly made with the right about of spice.

Our family of four visited this place for dinner.. we were quite blown by the food, we had breads and dips, chicken wings, pasta, arancini, chicken burger, salad and steak ending with chocolate mousse and no food could have been defaulted. It was busy for a Monday evening and there were only 3 staff( COVID might have caused short staffing) but they were all lovely. The waitress who served us she was very young and in her second week but she was very attentive and we could see that she was trying her best. Good selection of meal and not to much wait even though it was very busy and no compromise was done to the quality of food. We live locally so definitely will be going more often.

R. C. G.

Dinner was lovely at iTi. Conveniently located not far from Piha with a cozy outdoor seating area. Don’t let the casual atmosphere fool you — what comes out of the kitchen is easily on par with fancier establishments. Our dishes were prepared flavorfully and presented elegantly. iTi came recommended to us by a friend in the area — clearly, he knows his stuff. We really enjoyed it and will be back the next time we’re in West Auckland.

M.

Fantastic food. Got 4 items from the small plate menu and they all came out perfect. The fine balance of flavors and nice servings in the nice setting of the bush. Will be aback.

D. S.

We were wowed by iTi! Every meal, every taste, was sublime! From the steak, the fish, burger to the focassia bread, absolutely rich in flavor and excellently made. Our waitress was great, friendly, helpful, accommodating, and always smiled. For sure worth the trip to Titirangi. A must visit

A. M.

Great food especially arancini balls, fish pate and chocolate mousse dessert! Good wine selection. Lovely service.

D. P.

Service friendly, food average, beverages cold. A nice clean neighborhood pub with live music. Prices reasonable.

C.

Friendly staff came around often to check we are happy without being intrusive, and the cocktails were amazing!

K. (.

Food is fantastic! Great for a drink catch up with friends 😀

A. E.

Great food, attentive service. Ordered a scotch fillet and duck pancackes, really enjoyed these dishes. Great selection of wines and tap beers. Will be coming back

J.

Such a lovely experience here! Great food and great service. Arancini are to die for!!

c. c.

Great food, great staff, excellent drinks 🍸

P. C.

The small platters were good. The mains (we ordered gnocchi) tasty but very small portion. The chocolate mouse was tasty and good size. The main thing to highlight was the staff. EZRA served us and he was super kind, friendly and with an outstanding service during the whole night. I will come back and mainly for Ezra.

J. R.

Tidy premise, consistent food quality and good beer. Dogs welcome in the beer garden.

S. J.

Beautiful space in the heart of Titirangi Village - lots of indoor/outdoor seating. Had a beer early afternoon so was quiet, but definitely good vibes regardless.

N. B.

Get a table outside and enjoy people watching and the sunset in your back if you choose to sit wisely 😉

O.

Stunning service from Sammie the waitress today, loved the cocktails, ask for the Nutty professor, and the beer-battered fish was amazing too, delicious sides to go with this meal. Would recommend it for a nice night out. Would come back just for Sammie again

J. M.

Gosh I love this place! Vegetarian options are plentiful and seriously delicious and the wine list is superb. The Staff are attentive, knowledgeable and super lovely. Blankets are provided for outdoor seating area and the whole place has a really cool vibe.

S. A. V.

Great food and drinks available. Me and my partner used to go every Thursday and drink jugs of sangria. Only downside was a new waitress came and took our order. We ordered 3 jugs as we usually did and she only came out with one. I asked where the other two were as they always come out all together and we drink pretty fast. She said it was by law they could only bring one jug at a time per table. We were confused as it was our 4th time there - same day we usually come, same table as usual, same drinks/food ordered as usual but the first time we heard this. Me and my partner quickly went and paid for everything we ordered before we finished, and only then did she come out with the rest of our jugs all at once, despite her saying it was unlawful. It just felt abit like a colour thing as we were the only pacific islanders there. Besides this one point - the staff were great. Very knowledgeable with the selection of alcoholic beverages and the food is amazing too! My fave is the market fish of the day!

G. A. g.

Great food, great service. Great local place.

曾.

Food is great and the waitress is beautiful and friendly

C. W.

Lovely burgers at Iti, juicy and scrumptious. Wish hot sauce was a bit hotter on the chicken burger to offset the labneh but tender and crunchy! BBQ bacon burger nice, bbq sauce and onion relish are tasty, beef was nicely cooked. Good buns. Loved the beer batter fries and white sangria jug too. Will be back!

S. B.

The food was absolutely superb, we ordered 4 starter plates and each bite was so moreish. The cocktails were refreshing and the server gave us the best recommendations

M.

Good food and service. Not many vegetarian options.

Went there on a whim to try the steak night. Awesomely cooked steak. Good selection of beers. Service friendly without being intrusive.

I.

Fantastic food, awesome as usual.

Great little restaurant in Titirangi. Good atmosphere. Waitress was attentive and explained the specials well. Food was great and washed down with a nice craft beer on the rotating tap. Good selection of alcohol. Not many empty seats available Friday night.

v.

Generally speaking ITI is all good. Recently however, the steak night special is dropping in standard, with grisly chops and watery gravy. There's also an attractive blonde that works here who's a bit sour for some reason, perhaps it's her job or lack of home relief? But she tends to arbitrarily close the bar or ignore or prefer some patron's. As a local I'm not coming back, nor are others I know until the quality and attitude changes.

J.

Great food and wonderful service - cosy and nice atmosphere - well worth trying!

J. E.

Great place. We went today, a cold, wet Saturday afternoon. It was great! Food was really tasty! Particularly the duck pancakes. Service was great, especially the female waitress who was super friendly and attentive to us and other diners. Keen to come back and check out their cocktails.

Dinner Friday night, service was excellent but chips came out stone cold. The wine we ordered wasnt available and the desert my wife ordered was also unavailable so overall pretty average experience.

M. P.

I used to go to this cafe back when it was Takahe. So thought I'd check out the new digs. The decor is much nicer than it was, and the balcony setting is lovely. Staff were very friendly. The downside was that it took quite awhile for our food to come, and we were the only customers there, so seemed a bit strange we were waiting nearly 40 minutes for 2 eggs benedict. The bacon was a bit undercooked and the potato mash bland - would be nice if they had salt and pepper shakers on the tables as well. But it was decently priced, $40 for the two us with drinks included. I would come back, but will probably order something else.

P. G.

Nice. The staff were very attentive and pleasant. Outdoor is warm even on a wet winter tuesday night. Great impression on a first timer. I'll be back

A. B.

Absolutely amazing alcohol selection, great wines, fantastic craft beers. Just let down by very average service and over priced food. $25 for a cheese board that contains literally 2 thin slices of vintage cheese, a slightly thicker slice of gorgonzola that is more like pecorino and then a chunk of average brie. Crackers, a small amount of quince and some grapes. I've worked in the industry and that was about $15 worth of food. I accept a reasonable mark up but seriously? I love cheese boards and order at many places, this one was by far the most disappointing.

G.

Nice local experience. Really great and friendly service, and a nice vibe. The food is pretty decent and very affordable.

K. S.

Nice setting, friendly service. Delicious small plates and Tapas - the smashed potatoes are amazing. Mains are also tasty, but small portions and rather expensive, so stick to the small dishes.

A. C.

If you are a Steak fan, I urge you not to go past the delicious Rib Eye that chef Matthew Wagstaff and his team cooked up for me last night - aside from the generous portion of beef that was juicy as heck, the parsnip puree was my favourite part of the dish, as it had a really nice sweetness coming from the roasted onions and garlic that bought out the best in the parsnip. Even better is that they serve it on Mondays Steak Night for $20, meaning you can pair it with the Pilsner on tap, which was a very good drop! 5 star Matthew, look forward to more greatness in your new menu!!!

G. F.

Oh my! What a treasure in the trees, as soon as you walk in it's an intimate homely feel, and then the blankets for wrapping up in, amazing !!! Magnificent staff! Beautifully subtle food, great chefs, fast service xxxx The ladies there are such lovely friendly women, Orla and Christine you are so lovely , my little girl loved dancing around the floor to the music. I highly recommend this place, for any occasion, romantic dates, family dinners, drinks with friends, work lunches, and bodacious breakfasts. Small little iTi bitty beautiful gem in Titirangi.

S. R.

I was here for brunch with my mate. Good ambience, good food, great staff! The food portions were great! Would highly recommend and visit again. Cheers :)

The most amazing food and most amazing service, would recommend 100%

We loved the small plates, especially the duck lettuce cups, wagyu open spring rolls, the lamb, the mushroom and lemon risotto and to finish the apple sorbet with coconut and date tart and the brownie with homemade malt ice cream (I'll happily buy a tub of that any day!!). The food was some of the best I've had in a local eatery lately - well done. Love the setting looking over the bush of titirangi from the deck. Super night out with friends in a great local setting - iTi thanks to you and the team Briar for looking after us so well.

C. E.

What a great busy popular place

Q.

Nice place to have a few drinks and a meal however it is expensive to say the least. $9 beers, meals average around 10-25 dollars. Smoking area out the front and dining with entertainment inside.

K. M.

Nice little restaurant in Titirangi village. Some of the small plates were a bit hit (Pork Belly - done right!) or miss (Tuna Ceviche - overly fishy taste from something, delicate tuna flavour lost, too many flavours going on), but pretty damn good for the price - $12ish per plate. Nice decor, small but decent selection of craft-ish beers (Panhead, Mac's, 1x Black Sands) and wines. Friendly service. Room for improvement, but we'll be back again for sure!

P.

Awesome cocktails and ambience
