S. J.

Love the ambience.. love the food.. everything was great but still can't give 5.. its like 4.5 for me.. can I recommend this to others ? definitely.. will I go again definitely but still I can't put a finger on what's missing. But something is missing..

A.

Easily a 10/10 experience. Great atmosphere, prices and portion sizes. The food is utterly amazing and is to die for (see pictures). The best pork belly I've ever had. Service isn't lacking either, I was accidentally given a pizza instead of my order and the staff gave us the pizza for free and brought back the correct order as well. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Great experience.

Delicious ! I was living in Wellington and i moved to Auckland recently. I was looking for a real Italian place to eat and it was not disappointed when I found Non solo. I took a gf nerano pizza😋 it was perfect ! Can't wait to go there in L2 for a dine-in. The service was perfect and it was very easy to order online.

Good location, good setting. Follow covid vaccine pass rules and really good table service. Just went in for beers, but a good place.

M. Z.

Second time here. Always packed with great looking people. Great Italian food. Pizza is authentic. Coffee is good. Everything is fresh. Nice ambiance as well.If you like the services there is a chance to give tip when paying bills, which is more common in the U.S. than in Auckland.

A. J. (.

Very, very expensive for what you get, and omg so loud. Authentically Italian (but that's not always a good thing), and yes, it's another Parnell place To Be Seen, rather than somewhere focused on the food or the customer. The mistaking of noise for atmosphere is never a good coffee.

Y. Y.

If there were 10 stars, I'd give it a solid ten. Hands down best authentic Italian Resturant I've been to. I can't fret enough!! Everyone HAS to come visit atleast once in their lifetime because the food here is nothing I've tried before. The commitment and love was present through every single dish I ordered. Staff, ever so generous and kind. I need to come back ASAP!!! Tip: make a reservation or else you will be waiting your whole entire life for a seat since it is v busy.

A.

Great food. Not large servings but worth it. Out side seating for those who need. If you are in a wheel chair you may want to check if this works for you.

Z. B.

Wonderful dinner! We were tourists in a smaller town and believe that it was worth the visit. Time was well spent laughing and chatting over exquisite food and drink. Many other guests also opted to join us in the outdoor seating area. Would recommend for groups to come and share in classic dishes. Wish we could eat more! All our servers were so kind and efficient.

D. K.

Truly authentic Italian restaurant 🇮🇹🍝. Great selection of dishes from all over Italy. Beautiful selection of wine to match the food. The restaurant has lovely decor and music that creates a lovely ambience. Majority of the staff are Italian.

C.

What a lovely place. Doesn't look much from the road but looks are deceiving. A beautiful space, hidden away. Service, food and coffee was lovely. I will definitely be back.

R. K.

A nice place tucked away on Parnell street with an extensive menu so many choices and great dessert. I enjoyed the coffee but it is very strong The draw back was the taste of the salami on the pizza it was not very nice. Expense $$$

F.

Excellent service and really good food with nice ingredients. Everyone loved their food and the service was a nice balance of being attentive and leaving us to enjoy our food. Price range for main courses ~25-30 NZD

G. W.

This is not at all the kind of atmosphere I expected when hearing of a great pizza place in Parnell, and this is a good thing (well, depending on your perspectives of fine dining, but this is Parnell so it's pretty on-brand). This is a very well presented Italian dining experience full of marble, wood, stone, etc throughout and of course with the big stone pizza ovens. There's a massive inside dining area, a secluded party room, and then lots of outdoor seating too with its own bar. Now, given my prior quip about this being Parnell, I wasn't too surprised by our party getting some very disgusted patron looks towards the young kids who were with us, but while some were uptight, others were fine... especially the wait staff who were entirely welcoming and friendly to us and the kids and able to handle the group of like 20. And lastly, of course the pizza and food since I haven't even talked about it yet were delicious, so what are you waiting for? Come down to have a cocktail outside then share a pizza or other plates.

H. H.

Great place for an authentic Italian pizza. There are 2 parts to NSP. The front you're able to make your own pizza and the back has the set menu. We had pizza in the front. The is a good selection of ingredients to choose from. We'll definitely be back

R. S.

Visiting from India, we spent New Year's eve at NSP for dinner. Great food, superb drinks and amazing service. The place has a great ambience and vibe as well. Slightly expensive, but would recommend visiting it highly for a special occasion.

T. W.

We visited NSP after work for an impromptu catch up dinner and immediately I was impressed by the beautiful courtyard alfresco dining area of the restaurant with its living walls of greenery and foliage amidst water features. The staff was very warming, inviting and welcoming. For my starter, I went with chicken and spinach ravioli in tomato sauce. Flavours were so vibrant, herbaceous, not to mention mouth watering. Following on, I had chargrilled herb lemon chicken with brocollini at the recommendation of my waitress and I was highly impressed. To accompany my dishes I tried a glass of La Valentina Montepulciano and a Tellus Falesco Syrah and these were divine. Finishing up, at the recommendation again of staff, I tried the chocolate fondant. Talk about delectable indulgence on a spoon! NSP was an amazing dining experience for its ambience, food, wine and unforgettably exceptional service. Highly recommended with distinction!

If you are looking for authentic fresh Italian pasta then this is a beautiful place to go in the heart of Parnell. You will definitely not be disappointed with the wide yummy selection. Make sure you walk inside as the restaurant is big and nice. There is a nice wine selection and if unsure you can ask for suggestions. This is the second year in arrow we booked for my daughter's birthday and always impressed with the food and service.

D. M.

Ok... so I had really high expectations for this place. Everyone told me it was the best and I LOVE good Italian food and my wife booked it as a spontaneous date night. It's beautiful when we first arrive. Tucked away off the main drag, you walk down this hallway and when you get to the back, it opens to this massive, open outdoor space. Really lovely. It's also got a bunch of people, which gives the place a great feel. Lots of people having a great time. We had a drink at the bar before being seated, which was tasty. I had a glass of Prosecco. So far so good. We get taken to the table and our server is excellent. Nice guy, very professional, very friendly, and also quite funny. Ambiance, service, and environment are all on point. The three stars comes down to the meal. We started w the polpette and arancini. It was good, but not great. Polpette were a bit dry and the sauce wasn't rich enough to overcome. The arancini used a saffron risotto, which was a little different, but they weren't creamy enough to stand on their own and the sauce wasn't enough to offset that. Tasty though. Our mains we ordered the ravioli and Mediterranean pizza. I enjoyed the ravioli! Delicious sauce and great filling. My main feeling was about the toughness of the pasta. For house made, it wasn't really melty. The pizza itself was amazing. Texture, taste, and size all delivered. The toppings were a major let down. They smoke the bacon, which is fine, but then it's PILED on. Like. Mountain of bacon that isn't really all that crispy bc it's been smoked. We wound up taking almost all of it off to just eat the pie underneath. For dessert, we had the chocolate fondant. It was epic. Delicious. No complaints. A must get. For the price point, we expected more, so I'm giving it 3 stars at this point. It could easily have been an off night, or we just had such high expectations that it kind of brought us back to earth. Either way, this is a local favorite and you should definitely go try for yourself! PS bc of how disappointed we were w the pizza, they comped it for us, which was extremely generous given that it's a personal taste thing.

A. K.

Lovely customer service, great atmosphere & yummy food !

D. R.

The food was excellent in taste and the service was excellent. However the pasta potion size was very small for a main. Only 6-7 pieces with minimal sauce. And the pizzas had not been cut into portions properly. Was a bit of a workout to cut it up on a slippery porcelain plate. For the price you pay, this needed more attention to detail. Otherwise, the rest of the food, the staff and the night out were exceptional.

J. F.

THE BEST sosage roll I have ever had in my life. With each bite the vlavour burst in your mouth and lickles all the sensors in your mouth.......feels like little fairys dancing on your tongue. Complements to the chef!

A. W.

Had a great girls lunch here, very friendly and amazing food! Will definitely be back to try the long lunch option next time!

K.

Amazing customer service, my partner, son and I went to go get a hot drink and the nice guy there gave us a free risotto that my son absolutely loved

V.

Cosy atmosphere, super friendly staff and amazing food. Very satisfied customer.

S. D.

Lovely setting with a beautiful courtyard but the food was pretty average. We had the lobster bruschetta which was good and tasted fresh but mains which included crayfish ravioli and scampi linguine were pretty average, and actually disappointing as we had come here for the first time for a family birthday celebration. Kids pizza was good though! Waitress could have been friendlier. Overall not a memorable experience.

C. P.

This is a wonderful and romantic restaurant to take someone. It is a little pricey and there is an expectation of a tip but the food and service match the class of the place. The pizzas (pictured) were phenomenal and the service was rapid despite the place being incredibly busy. The only reason I have taken off one star is that the tables are too close together. They have gone to a lot of effort to create a pleasant ambience that promotes relaxation without sacrificing a subtle touch of class but the noise created by the cramped table arrangements meant having a conversation at reasonable volumes was difficult. Aside from that everything was fabulous.

M. W.

Always try and pop in for lunch when visiting Parnell. This time a private function was using all the garden area, nevertheless the staff found us a table and we enjoyed a pizza and wine whilst watching the private party festivities.!

B. M.

A neighbourhood classic for a reason. Didn’t have a booking on a busy Sunday afternoon but was seated at a communal table. V v busy but great service and food.

R. R.

Staff are very professional and accommodating. We had a 6 week old baby with us and they gave us a lovely table in its own area near a fireplace out the back, it was just perfect. Food and wine was delicious. Well done and keep it up 👍

S. S.

Great service and delicious food. Highly recommended.

I. S.

I going to run out of superlatives to describe this restaurant. The setting is amazing high ceiling room with nice soft tones on the walls. Music was present but non-obtrusive. Our waiter, italian by birth, was very helpful in navigating the menu. As vegetarian it was easy to find a suitable choice. The french rose' 🍷was refreshing on the palate. The food was well presented, well proportioned and flavourful. Well priced for inner city Auckland. 11/10 will go back again

Y. R.

Popped in at lunch with a friend without a booking on the off chance of a spare table. Very lucky to get one. Food fantastic and staff absolutely delightful. Had calamari and panacotta. Note to self next time share the plate as serving size generous. Nice wines. Reasonably priced. Definitely will go again with a bigger group.

N. E.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Great for groups and couples. Family friendly for lunch or an early dinner.

S.

Great place!! Good coffee too ☕

J. B.

Went with a group of people for lunch, the food was delicious and pizza was awesome. The only comment that can be improved on is the friendliness of the waitress and waiters, their expressions most of the time was unhappy looking and trying to catch their eye to get another drink was difficult, they were always looking down and turning away quickly. If they looked up and checked the room for others who want their attention, plus a smile or two, then I would of given a 5 star rating.

V. L.

Amazing food & the tiramisu is probably the best in town!

j. c.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff! If you are after a cosy night out, I would highly recommend. Was disappointed with the need for tipping, should pay their quality staff more!

E. M.

Mixed reviews from the diners in my party. My friend had a margherita pizza and enjoyed it and I got a prosciutto pizza and it was not great. My pizza had mushrooms on it when it doesn't state that on the menu, and the centre was very soggy. I also think $6 for very little soda isn't worth it but it depends on your expectations for a restaurant. Overall I wouldn't recommend but I think if you're older and fancier it might be the place for you.

S.

Great ambiance, with multiple menu selections. Do try John Dory.

W. O.

Had a lovely birthday dinner here - was able to bring in a cake & they served this for no extra charge! Our waitress was bubbly and fun! 10/10 experience. Food was divine, as usual! Will happily come back!!!

G. C.

Excellent food and service. Good choice of wines and beers.

E. W.

Nice food, beautiful ambience, good wine and friendly staff... What else to ask for?

D.

Come on guys! Surely you can do better! Much better! You are a very slight shade of NSP! In fact not NSP at all but some sort of disguised imposter! We were looking forward all week to returning to our favourite ‘local’ only to be severely disappointed. A seriously lacking menu, with wine list to match. Luke warm pasta is what I was served, and it was tasteless. We were kindly offered complimentary Antipasti which was delicious, but then we got charged for these x 2, plus an extra beer which we hadn’t ordered. And perhaps they hadn’t noticed that the world is experiencing a major pandemic, there was no evidence which made me a bit uncomfortable, and though restaurant requirements in level 2.5 states tables served by a single server, we were served by 6 friendly, and all new staff. We had a disenchanting and dissatisfying night and won’t be in a hurry to return. Perhaps they best change the name then the expectations would not be so high!

L.

Good service. Delicious pizza. Steak was good too. Very large area, good lighting, recommend for big groups.

K. M.

Pizza was 5 stars and really great, only let down by service from staff. Had trouble getting their attention to be seated and then were not offered any other drinks or dessert when our plates were taken. Was keen to try their chocolate cake but oh well.

J. R.

Had lunch here but unfortunately their was also a party booking in the courtyard which was very loud. The ricotta and truffle honey starter was wonderful. Calamari was good.

E.

Delicios food and renewed style

L. S.

I loved the beetroot arancini offered - pity the waiter did not know they are a Sicilian dish! (You'd think an Italian ristorante would train their staff about the food provided.) The syrah was drinkable, the atmosphere convivial, but the surly waitress and the loud unmemorable music spoilt it for me. Would I visit again? Probably not. Plenty of better eateries around Parnell.

P. S.

Enjoyed a very nice dinner here with friends. Extensive food and wine list, albeit on the pricey side. Don't be put off by what looks like a small bar at the front. The restaurant is out the back, and is of excellent size and quality. The wait staff are always on hand when required, and nothing seems to phase them. Enjoyable - with good company.

Y. J.

Beautiful food and Italian wine

J.

Good atmosphere...yumm pizza 🍕

B.

Absolutely amazing food, taste of Italy. The staff are so friendly, such a great experience, can only imagine how great it will be in summer. Hands down the best Italian food in Auckland.

S. a.

I had a fantastic dinner tonight with my partner, we and a selection of antipasti, bruschetta with lobster was amazing, also amazing the crudo plate. I had main linguine scampi and they were awesome! Super tasty, pasta and fish perfectly cooked! My partner had the snapper and also that was perfect. Staff super friendly and always taking care of us even in a busy night. We will definitely go back ASAP, cant wait!!!

T. B.

Australian tourist. Took the family here in Jan 2020. We came back two more times, the food is absolutely magnificent. Service is just as good. It’s a must to visit in Auckland.

J. C.

The crudon was absolutely to DIE FOR. The ambience setting goes on and on: you have boutique but fresh bar setting at front, garden bar/restaurant at midway point and a more refined feel at the back. It's amazing and each individual location is stunning and top class

D.

Lovely restaurant. Deceptively large with varied dining areas, catering for romantic dining for 2 to large groups. Extensive menu. We were there for a group function so had a set menu for 3 courses. All courses included a vegetarian option. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our waitress was fabulous, I’m only sorry I can’t recall her name. Highly recommend.

B. R.

Social distancing is non existent. We booked a table of 10 and had 4 randoms join us at one end ! Food was good. Drink service was slow. Gave it 3 because the company was good.

L.

Serve size for mains were too small, but absolutely amazing quality of dishes.

L.

Lovely friendly service, great bubbles by the glass and tasty wood fired pizza. My only complaint was that the veggies on the vegetarian pizza were a bit undercooked

i. c.

Pizza is not tasty…Good pasta, a little disappointed

J.

Very nice setting, and bloody good pizza. Never tried the rest of the food. Service not bad

J. B.

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in the world. I’ve eaten in Italy and the food here is better. Add to that many of the staff are Italian and well versed in the wine and drink pairings for the food. The bar is beautifully laid out and has an active and engaged vibe. I would be excited to dine here every day. And so should you! Book a table today!

H. F.

Very traditional Italian food. Delicious.

S. Y.

Dined here with my gf the other night and loved the atmosphere. Doesn't look like much from the outside, as it's just a bar at the front, but opens up as soon as you walk in. Loved the outdoor seating area. Looks ideal for warmer months. Service was pretty decent. Pizza tasted great and didn't take too long to arrive. My ravioli couldn't been bigger portion wise, but tasted good. We asked to move inside later cause it started getting cooler and were easily seated. Grabbed another pizza, as wasn't full from my previous meal. Cool Wood fired oven inside. Attentiveness and service could be improved a bit. Otherwise a good experience.

C. B.

This is the best pizzeria in town. I am Italian and tried many restaurants but there is no other that offers good pizza, nice service and atmosphere. The pizza is good with high quality ingredients and full of topping. I go there once every 2 weeks for probably 2 years now... I wish they had a loyalty card :-D

S. F.

Outstanding! The GM, sales and marketing people from our company eat long lunches here so I deicided to try it out to impress the missus even though it's a little out of my budget. The decor, atmosphere and service was next level, the veal and red wine cannelloni was breathtaking while the prosciutto and basil wood fired pizza was so delicious! A great place to take someone you want to impress. Worth every penny.

G.

Had my birthday lunch here with 18 people and the food was amazing, the staff were very accommodating and the service was great!

P. H.

Unfortunately the food seems to have gone a bit downhill with the new owners. Fantastic venue, but all the food (apart from oysters) was average, and that's being generous. Three stars because I don't want to be mean.

n. s.

Staff always appear under the pump although they're really friendly when you do finally get their attention. The free finger food is great. Overall a good vibe.

J.

Excellent service, food and ambiance! Michael definitely looks after you. Best place in Auckland.

F. B.

A wonderful lunch with my mother and sister! The delicious, authentic Italian food was served by a very competent, professional Italian waiter who was happy to accommodate our every whim. The food isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for, and the decor and atmosphere alone are worth the price.

C. M.

Gnocchi with mushrooms and spinach sauce was amazing but HOW disappointed all of us (myself and 5 friends) were with the quantity of food for a 32 dollars individual dish. I have been in other fancy italian restaurants in NZ but you pay what's fair having a Good and reasonable quantity of food specially when we talk about Italy.

S.

Very good pizza. Pasta portions a bit small but still good. Good vibe and atmosphere

M. L.

Beautiful ambience. Food is like any other Italian restaurant. Trivial menu if pizza, pasta, and main courses, nothing different from other Italian restaurants... Gluten free bread below expectation. The seat of women's toilet is yellow ish, stained over time. Matre De chewing gum while dealing with us... One waiter with smell of cigarette when serving us. Italian waiter very friendly.

B. P.

We were there on a busy Saturday night, reservations essential. Mostly the food was great. One pizza however was just plain weird, but that was an anomaly. Service was just ok, we didn't have the menu explained and they were quite slow to clear plates. I suspect a symptom of a busy night. This restaurant has survived in a highly competitive space for years so generally it will be good.

C. S.

Remember to savour your experience. Managed by a true hospitality genius, this landmark remains as safe a bet as ever. Airily comfortable year-round and efficiently staffed, you can dine either intimately or raucously in safe hands. Some happy regulars literally close their eyes and point at the menu with confidence. Even if you're not quite so adventurous, make sure you sit back occasionally while eating to observe real grace and rigour as every meal is tabled. Specialising in authentic Italian flavour profiles and atmosphere isn't easy this far from the Mediterranean.

N. G.

It's okay food, I didn't like my risotto with seafood. It was too fishy and salty, there were no scalops in it and shimps were microscopic, rice was not the right one for risotto. Too bad and overpriced. However I have experienced the best service and atmosphere that you can find in New Zealand. Summary impression: maybe will come back after few years... not happy.

T. J.

A great, authentic Italian restaurant tucked away off Parnell's main road. While the entrance is relatively unassuming, the restaurant has a number of great spaces, with a fantastic courtyard for when the weather is good (and complete with heaters, in case there is a bit of a chill). The food selection is great, with a range of pizza, pasta and other Italian dishes. The wine menu has a strong selection of wines, both from New Zealand and further afield.

T.

Very nice ambience and great pizza. Service could get some improvement, we were waiting 15 minutes until somebody came to see us for the drinks order and they were not even busy at the time.

C. L.

I really dig Non Solo Pizza. The atmosphere is fun and light, the food is decent and the staff cares about their patrons. The only thing which perplexes me is there's not a big difference between the lunch and dinner prices and no matter how busy (or not) the food seems to take a really long time. Either way I'll happily go back because I consistently have a good time during our visits.

L. v. H.

Atmosphere was great, friendly and helpful staff. Eye fillet was good but risotto disgusting. Sorbet...DIVINE! Work year end function... wish they ordered pasta or pizza which Italians are famous for

R. R.

Nice spot to hangout. Good food. Nice staff. Real Italian pizza.

D.

As expected the pizza is amazing, great service people, very friendly, was packed and so service was slow but ok with that. Yummy

F. R.

The pizza is absolutely excellent, with the perfect dough base, very authentically Italian. The cocktails were also amazing and the service was very fast and friendly. Would definitely recommend for a nice Italian meal!

A. E.

The highlight of our lunch (apart from the surroundings) was our waitress Sylvia. She was just fabulous and after a few wines I was transported via her dry wit and warmth to Italy. A beautiful place to get lost on a weekend.

H.

Beautiful atmosphere and fantastic food! Highly recommend.

K. C.

Disappointing, we went there after a few years of living out if Auckland. Service was great but the food was below standard. The staff we certainly apologetic but still coming to Auckland for a night out was so disappointing.

G. H.

The Part-time Duty Manager was the loveliest matradee if see in many years and so are the Italian staff. Absolutely wonderful. Who cares about the food and wine when you're made to feel so welcome. Incidentally the food and wine is great also....

S. P.

We enjoyed a nice dinner last Friday, the place was buzzing, the food was great, we were very well looked after by the Maitre d‘ and our very competent waitress (Silvia?) and were made very welcome by Vivienne. Thank you for making our evening memorable!

T. C.

We’ve been about 10 times. Excellent atmosphere, especially the outdoors area. Great service and drinks. Mostly great food (occasionally a burnt pizza - otherwise would score a 5)

C. d. P.

Service was very good and the food was delicious with the portion size being adequate. Prices could be lower but I dont feel ripped off. The menu has a good variety of selections available. Did not like the music, something more classy and maybe instrumental would have been better.

B.

molto buona !! Greatly enjoyed their long lunch. Lovely atmosphere great service.

D.

Hospitality at its best. Great staff, good selection of wine, great food and beautiful ambiance.

P. C.

Non Solo (Not Only) Pizza is a great Italian restaurant in the heart of Parnell. As the name suggests it has a good selection of Italian food (not just pizza), wine & beer and also several NZ wines from their own winery on Waiheke Island. Plenty of chef specials and staff very knowledgeable and helpful, which does come with an expectation of a tip, but it is worth it. Really nice surroundings and much bigger than it looks from the outside. A little pricey, but good for a special occasion.

L.

A Birthday party, a casual dining or a romantic night - we tried them all here. Love the food, the cocktails and mocktails; the staff are amazing and very helpful. And yes, we live the Non Solo food!

M.

Lovely surroundings for a nice lunch. Dessert was stunning particularly the chocolate fondant. Some of the meals going out looked beautiful and we will definitely be back.

A.

We had a lovely lunch at Non Solo today. Amazing service and very pleasant setting. Will definitely go again 🇮🇹

P. P.

Have been to NSP 3 times now and I will be coming back again! Great atmosphere for semi-formal dining with friends and family, was invited to a gig here and the wining dining experience was epic. Impeccable food at NSP, what more can I say.. Keep it up! 💯

L.

Love the beef ravioli with burnt butter and sage. The pizza, however, is disappointing

E. P. (.

Wonderful times. Love it here. Looks small from the front, much larger inside. Great laughs with colleagues and friends. Delicious food, drinks and fantastic memories. Will keep going back as long as they are here.

E. J.

Have had two wonderful dining experiences at Non Solo. Tonight (the second) the waitstaff went above and beyond to make sure my (hugely energetic) 1 year old was happy and occupied. The food was immaculate, reasonably fast for a busy night and the bathrooms are really beautiful and smell amazing! Both times I've been the facilities have really left an imapct haha, i love a nice candle, good soap, handcream etc. Thanks Non Solo!

L. F. D. C.

I went to NSP to celebrate 1 year anniversary with my lovely partner and I could not choose I better place to go. The food was amazing and the customer service was the best I have had I have been served by Sami and he was extremely attentive and kind. I just want to say thank you to him for the amazing work. Definitely we will come back. Thank you NSP for having the best staff . Xxx

J. T.

Nice Italian ambiance, the outdoor seating area was perfect with water features and greenery. The food was well executed and superb wines and aperitifs.

A. O.

Delicious! Been here quite a lot over the years and they don't seem to be trying any harder to keep up with the competition sadly... Service is ok, menu has very few vegetarian options, courtyard is space is great except easily ruined by the smokers.

M.

I only had coffee here, which was great. Italian kind but they brought a jug with hot water. Staff excellent. Very nicely decorated. I wish I had had the chance to have a meal here.

K. M.

Great food, great service and beautiful setting.

N.

Average dinner experience for a group of 4. Service was fine. Interior felt tired. Food was fine. Everything was just OK. Nothing great but not too bad either.

m.

Will go to try another pizza again....

M.

The courtyard here feels literally like walking into Italy. My favorite restaurant in Auckland. The perfect vibe of classy and casual

r. m.

Used to be great and now it's just OK. Service has gone backwards and the food has been the same for so long. Worth a visit but no longer the standout it once was. Still good for groups though.

L. M.

Service was very good and the setting of the restaurant has beautiful decor. The staff are very friendly are attentive to your needs. The food was delightful.

S. B.

Best Italian in Auckland. Extensive food and wine menus and authentic delicious pizzas. Suitable for all types of diners, couples, groups, families and private dining too.

S.

Delicious food and friendly service in a lovely outside setting. Beautiful inside as well

M. A.

Still fantastic. Lots of wonderful choices for food and bev, generous servings of tasty, fresh food. Service was fast, attentive, helpful and gorgeously Italian. This is the real deal, buzzy and busy and for very good reasons. Salut!

s.

Nice ambiance, great tasting pizza and tastey salad. Too bad they do not have a restaurant in San Diego (my home town).

R.

Fantastic. The best Italian restaurant in Auckland. The staff are amazing, the food is authentic. You're mad not to go and experience this place.

H.

The food and the quality was really good and the ambient was lovely. Definitely recommend.

A.

Delicious italian pizza, antipasto and fried calamari and octopus, excellent service, courteous staff and balanced prices.

A.

We did enjoy our night out here. Authentic Italian food, helpful and efficient service, very nice Chianti and an overall happy vibe to the place.

D.

Went here as part of a work function. Friendly and knowledgeable staff along with great pizzas!

R. D.

This is a really great Italian Restaurant. Highly recommended. Always great menu, wine and service. Lovely out door settings in summer.

B.

Excellent pizzas and nice ambience. We will definitely return!

G.

Great venue! Enjoy a frosty Peroni.

A. R.

It's good alright. Great neighborhood restaurant. Like every dish we had. And as usual we were late night diners

J.

Nice pizza, good service !

R. T.

One of the best genuine Italian restaurants in Auckland. The bar out the front is now open after a revamp and a really good place to go for a drink after work.

E.

Fantastic restaurant great staff excellent menu

X.

Great location Fantastic food and excellent customer service

J.

Great restaurant! Service from our waitress was incredible. Food was delicious, I'll be back to try your pizza!

A.

Upmarket pizza and pasta which also some more classical Italian treats. It has a wonderful courtyard which is a romantic place to dine and try and recreate the lady and the tramp scene over some spaghetti.

J. P.

Great authentic italian food, huge wine selection. Great family dining.
