A. M.

Tartufo pizza was nothing short of amazing, definitely worth the couple dollars more for this one. However can't say the same for the one with Italian sausage and fennel, not a lot of sausage and a whole lot of fennel. Cocktail list was nice and interesting, though there was little effort put into presentation with just a slice of lemon and a lot of salt in an $18 drink. Service was fantastic from all we met. Not a lot of pasta options that I would choose for myself. Garlic bread starter was also fantastic.

M. G.

Ordered the prawn saffron pasta and tiramisu, with homemade rose lemonade. The lemonade was the best part as it was quite unique and delicious! I was not such a huge fan of the pasta, thought the flavor combination was ok but nothing spectacular. Their tiramisu had a lot of cream/mascarpone and not too much of the cake/ladyfingers, I didn’t enjoy that ratio too much unfortunately. Their old menu looked a lot more exciting and the ragu looks delicious on their reviews, so hopefully one day these will be back and I can try it again! Their service was excellent - courteous, efficient and attentive. :)

T.

A lovely 'date night' out with hubby. Brilliant service, quality food and a lovely atmosphere. And the wine list.... yummy! Would highly recommend a visit

G.

Always good. Although not on the menu ask for the old school pizza loaf. Just different but really nice with olive oil and balsamic dip. See my half eaten version 😁👍☕☕🚴🚴

#localtourismnz. Excellent service, beautiful ambience, delicious food & warm environment especially during winter. Their menu is locally sourced, changes seasonally & they always have something delicious and different. Menu has a variety of dishes - veg, non veg, pasta, pizza. Drinks available are beers, NZ & International wine, cocktails, mocktails, coffees & softdrinks. Their bread, pasta & pizza are all freshly made by chefs. Star dish is a slow cooked lamb, risotto & their Ravioli is delicious thin & light (good portions as well)! Walk-ins are welcome. For Friday & Saturday book a table because this place fills up fast. Bar sitting is available for dine in or quick meals. (Modern & clean bar). Table bookings are between 1.5-2hrs depending what time you are booked for dine-in (always check with the restaurant). Bookings recommended for more than 2 people to avoid disappointments on busy days. Outside sitting is available as well. Especially on a nice sunny day, the outside seating is ideal for a meal with family & friends.

P. S.

A great restaurant with friendly and efficient staff. The food was very good and the service excellent. We will be back without a doubt.

D. F.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted by a young gentleman full of energy and so professional. The food was delicious and all the staff were excellent. Cold water straight away and our drinks moments behind. Next time in Cambridge we are definitely coming back.

n. l.

As a Birthday treat my son took me to lilypad to be told closed as no power Went to the warehouse power goes off still have awesome service there Bur than we entered Alpino wow Told no power but we can still service you Lucy came made sure we knew what we could not have as no power (Please thank Lucy) Lucy was happy kind conscientious attentive polite while usually power outage Food was fresh Well made very Italian tasty wow just wow Thank you Oh the restaurant is my new go too restaurant ! The restaurant must be well liked as it made clients eating & enjoying the atmosphere

K.

Ordered a gluten and dairy free expecting it to be very average considering the substitutions, but was extremely surprised with how delicious the pizza was! One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had

C. S.

Very surprised to find this bustling busy and fantastic restaurant!! We arrived at 6pm and it was nearly packed! So glad we booked, the anchovies and mozzarella balls were a great starter but even better was the prawn pasta which melted in your mouth and the risotto was Devine. The staff really cared about the level of service, many viaduct Auckland restaurants would be well outclassed with the service and easily the food quality as well. Oh we did not have the lamb shoulder but it looked amazing. Lastly our Italian wait staff were so friendly and made the evening really authentic, highly recommend!!!!!!

T. M.

My parents and I shared a wonderful evening with the team at Alpino Cambridge. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Having travelled extensively in Italy (pre Covid!), the food, wine and attentive service of the team transported us back to our favourite haunts in Italy. Looking forward to returning again soon.

S. N.

It was such a great experience and a special moment here at Alpino Cambridge. The waitress who looked after us is well-trained and friendly. For the food, we had a chef’s special which was The Lamb's shoulder goshhhh!!! it was too tasty, drinks and desserts were amazing as well. I would visit this place again and I recommend you guys to try!

E.

This place amazing! I looooovvvvveeee it! The waiter is gentle and nice, the dishes are so yummy! I told him that it’s my first time here and want recommendations, he is so nice and patient to tell me which he prefer. I love this place and hope can come back again. Oh, remember to reserve online

B.

Fantastic restaurant. Excellent food and service! We're new to the area and have been twice so far - and will return again, and again. 😍

R. H.

This place is without a doubt a must do if you’re anywhere near Cambridge. The food And the service are very authentic. The best Negroni is always the last one you had however the one I had here was very memorable, as was the pork and Italian sausage dish

G.

Love this restaurant. The pizzas are delicious. The service is excellent. If I lived closer I'd frequent more often.

M.

As good as it always is. Tough that I don't live in the same town as my favourite restaurant. They are the best reason for spending a night in Cambridge!

G. D.

Great spot if looking for something nice. Looks like an ever changing menu of skilfully crafted dishes. Pizza dough was light and chewy, the kids menu reasonable, and all the mains we tried were tasty and interesting. Wasn’t too much selection in the way of salads, but didn’t seem to need one. Kids loved the dessert pizza. Staff were friendly and attentive - well done Cambridge, could be a regular stop on the way back to Auckland.

A. Y.

Decent Italian restaurant good for family. Antipasti dishes were good, especially the octopus and pizza bread. The pizzas were excellent. Pasta dishes and crayfish dish were ok. Lamb ragout was excellent. Service could be better as waiters were not too attentive.

J. O.

Great staff beautiful food I went to al pino 2 years ago and have been desperate to get back there . DELICIOUS. if your in Cambridge go here for lunch or dinner awesome staff. .

D.

food is good but too little. Braise Pork $38 come with 3 small peices of pork the rest are vegetable and potato. Servic was good but reccommend a bigger cup of coffee thanks

E.

Just finished the best pizza I've ever had on NZ. Thin chewy crust, savory tomato sauce, fluffy mozerella and fresh veggies. Yum. Definitely worth the stop.

C. S.

Ordered a Hawaii pizza which was quite yummy. Just nice for 2 to share. The fried chicken in the kid meal is too floury but chips is nice though. Very nice ambience.

J.

Was an amazing dining experience with my friend and her son . Food was delicious and service was brilliant andd welcoming loved it thank you to everyone

J.

Consistently amazing Every single time, the best service. The best Italian! Simply amazing!

H. W.

A visitor to this town and never expected such nice Italian restaurant. Food are tasty and well presented. Will definitely come again

M. M.

Exceptional service, wonderful food! The hapuka is beautiful and the steak too!! The negroni is wonderful too! Beautiful intimate restaurant! Lovely staff!

K. G.

Food DEVINE......ESPRESSO MARTINIS....the best in town, and awesome service, sooooo relaxing sitting outside on a gorgeous day/evening!!

L.

Nice food, great service & atmosphere. Will be back !

E.

Came on a Sunday at 1500, so most likely skeleton staff. Coffee took ages and was cold and terrible, "can't do fries, can't do pizza bread". Why are you even open??! Pizza took 45 mins, however was tasty. Music was good and waitress was friendly.

R.

There pizzas are exquisite also the staff are wonderful,helpful and attentive. The food here is all very good hard to pick what too eat!

A. F.

We had dinner on a busy Saturday night and fortunately got a table for 7 without prior reservations. The beef carpaccio and pizza were very good, service was prompt and friendly. Definitely worth the visit!

T. K.

Excellent, from the friendly welcome as we came in the door to the service, venue and the food itself. A little high priced for a pizza, (and I didn't know there was a $3 surcharge for gluten free base until we paid), and could have been hotter, but it was delicious and the base crispy. We had Hawaiian with mushrooms. The chocolate pave dessert was way smaller than I expected for $16, but this too was delicious. Delectable even, but I forgot to take a photo. We would go again as a treat.

B.

Good food well presented and friendly staff

m.

I really enjoyed our lunch today with my daughters. Appreciated friendly and attentive staffs with great smile 😁 food were great different from ordinary and could stay comfortably ordering Duck Island ice cream so good 😋 Second visit and love this atmosphere.

M.

Incredible food, great ambiance, and a fantastic selection of Italian wine!

M. O.

Great place with delicious food! Especially love caprese and local market fish. And pizza is just like in Italy 🇮🇹

J. P.

The rocket & pear salad was outstanding, and the service was attentive, very nice lunch indeed

M.

Amazing experience. Great food, excellent staff!

A.

Always busy place with a tasty food variety, real italian pizza's

D. F.

The best place and adorable staff ever! Ricardo is the best manager, we feel very comfortable in there!

C. M.

Great decor, great atmosphere, with friendly and helpful staff. I have a serious and potentially life-threatening allergy, so dining out usually requires a lot of pre-planning. However an impromptu (and apprehensive on my part) visit recently while staying in the area turned into an amazing experience. The Head Chef personally came to see me to create a pasta dish that was safe for me to have. Wow!! It next level knocked my socks off. So delicious, I had to do a happy dance in my seat. It was so good in fact, that we returned that night for dinner. Outstanding.

E. W. (.

Possibly the best pizza (Verdure) I've ever eaten, and that includes the ones I've had in Italy. Portion was sufficient without being excessive, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff are friendly, helpful and energetic! Would come here from Auckland next time we have a special occasion to celebrate.

G.

Great food,great service.most enjoyable

S.

The pizza was very delicious and super easy to order from home when I went in to get it the guy was super funny And polite it's definitely the best pizza I've eaten in New Zealand and I would definitely go there again. Loved it so much xx.

Delicious! Great service and gorgeous restaurant

H.

Great quick snack and drink as we were more thirsty than hungry. Friendly staff

P. A.

Outstandingly crafted Italian meals, with artfully designed industrial chic decor. They have a tiramisu to die for!

N. C.

Alpino was a busy and popular restaurant to visit . The service was lovely and drinks came out quickly. Our group of 12 had most meals come out about the same te except for the steak people who did have a bit of a wait. The pappedelle dish was delicious. I was impressed they had an item not on the menu available to order for dessert . The only thing I didn't really like was we had dinner at 6pm and needed to vacate by 8pm ready for another sitting !

S. R.

Great food, great wine, good vibes! We really enjoyed our dinner at Alpino restaurant! The French waitress was really lovely! Merci! We will come back!

K.

Suburb! Beautiful pizza every time and tiramisu is to die for. Customer service is amazing too, truly a lost art these days. Thank you for being awesome.

N.

I love Alpino. A friend and I go there for lunch, we share fries and a pizza then we both have a house wine and ice cream and it is A super tasty, B super affordable and C just all round fabulous. If you're ever in Cambridge and keen for a bite to eat, go to Alpino.

V.

Great food and the service was even better. Just too crowded and very noisy which really took away from our experience.

E. C.

We were just doing a road trip and ended up in cambridge. Then we decided to eat here spontaneously. We had a great experience. Menu was a bit expensive but thats what you expect in a fine dining establishment. But the ambiance and the staff were all great and made the experience very nice.

A.

Was our first time eating here. Folded pizza lacked a bit of filling but was tasty enough. Was offered some sparkling water to start with, but there was no indication that this would be chargeable ($9) until we paid the bill. Service was good. Nice ambience. Overall a pleasant experience.

D. H.

Alpino is definitely one of the premium restaurants in the Waikato. They offer fantastic, authentic Italian food accompanied by amazing service.

t.

Excellent pizza..nice ambience

C.

Good pizza and octopus salad, great fries. The Bootleg IPA was delicious too. Very attentive service. Well done everyone at Alpino.

c.

The food was amazing and the staff were unbelievably nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place. I suggest getting their homemade rose lemonade it is fenominal.

V.

We went there only for desserts n I must say I wasn't disappointed .

l. w.

The waitress was amazing. Was greeted at the door.great hospitality. Food was nice. Had prawns which were great. Found the mains wasn't a great variety sorry not a pizza lover. Rossotto was lovely not sure about the crunchy kale. It was so creamy and full of flavour. Overall nice place.

j. w.

Wow! What a wonderful dining experience, we felt very welcomed by Ricardo and his attentive staff. Food was Bellissimo. Would highly recommend.

P.

Best restaurant in Cambridge!! Probably NZ too.

L. P.

Went here for an early family meal, hadn’t booked. They amazingly could fit us in if we departed by 7.30 which was fine as we had young children. The service was incredible, they were super attentive without being annoying. They were extremely thoughtful and kind to my children. The food was Devine, loved every bite of my crayfish pasta dish. The kids had a blast and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, I’ll be returning again as soon as possible.

S.

Fantastic lunch with my husband. Truffle season so truffle ravioli and truffle pizza 🍕 Amazing as always and lovely service 😀

M. Z.

Food was fantastic..cooked superb..flavours outanding..service also friendly and prompt..only 1 critisim the deserts although superb..served in a glass tumbler..didnt do it justice.. Very busy place so advise to book ahead.. Look forward to returning.

D.

Great food. The mozzarella balls were a hit with everyone. The squid was cooked perfectly and ended up being shared as well! Would highly recommend.

K. F.

The staff were friendly but it was to hard to catch their eye and get served. It took to long to get served sadly.

M. M.

We had fantastic time at this place. Enterier is quite modern and welcoming. Service was outstanding. We had pasta which had great balance in texture and flavors, and the original Italian pizza with prosciutto and rucola. We loved that menu offered choices which would different from other Italian restaurants, and staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. We are definitely coming back.

C. L.

After walking off the street with 3 hungry children we were quickly found a table despite it being a hugely, busy night. We only ordered pizzas and salads but our food came out promptly and was absolutely delicious. Proper, authentic Italian cuisine and friendly, fantastic service.

E.

Great food Great service!!

S. P.

Incredible and to die for italian food

m.

Fantastic food superbly cooked. Wait staff prompt and friendly..looking forward to enjoy the food here again..

n.

Stopped for dinner on our way through and boy did we enjoy it. The atmosphere, the food and the service were all just brilliant. What a great find. Couldn't believe how busy it was for a Wednesday night. Market fish was sensational. Thank you

I. S.

The real deal! This place serves genuine, high quality Italian food in an equally stylish atmosphere. The service was great too! This was some of the best Italian food I've ever had and I'm from Toronto ,which has a large Italian immigrant population, and therefore many high quality restaurants serving authentic fair.

E.

Incredible dining experience. We went in a Monday night and it was packed. Delicious food. Impeccable service.

B. K.

We havent had dinner at Alpino for years but discovered their divine takeaway pizzas at the end of lockdown. Went for dinner as a group of 5 this Wednesday evening. Loved the decor but it was very busy and very noisy. Had good service apart from one waiter who was so speedy (or impatient?) he wouldnt give us time to choose a bottle of wine ourselves.

L.

Love this restaurant. Great service and yummy selection of pizzas.

D. L.

Great lunch. In a party of 6 celebrating birthdays. Waitress who talk our orders was fantastic, never had to write anything down remembered two courses and not a mistake. Very impressed lovely food as well.

R. M.

We LOVE this restaurant. We've loved everything we tried - seafood pizza with anchovies, homemade raviolis, plus a few of the desserts. We went once when we were stuck in Cambridge for an evening on our way back to Auckland. Now, we willingly make the diversion through Cambridge just to stop here. It's in a large space so we've never had problems getting a table. The wait staff have been friendly. And honestly, the food is fantastic. The portion sizes are somewhat small (unless ordering a pizza) but the quality makes up for the quantity.

K.

Great food. Accommodating when we turned up without a booking on a busy Friday lunchtime.

G.

The most authentic Italian experience in New Zealand! The best resturant in Cambridge! The best Hugo’s in the world!

D.

Had a good time there last night with a group of about 18. Good tasting food and great service. Highly recommend

T.

Went on a Friday evening. Had to book in advance earlier in the day because they're quite busy. Lovely decor and very professional staff. Even though the restaurant was packed full the staff still kept us very well waited on. We had the Eye Fillet Steak and the Calzone for our main. The Eye Fillet was outstanding. Medium rare, very tender and full of flavour. The gravy and mash it was served with were divine. The Calzone was just as good. Nice and crispy on the outside with good quality ham and cheese on the inside, served with a fresh tomato sauce on the side. Good choice of desserts, although I would have loved to see some profiteroles on there. We had the Duck Island Ice cream and the Valrohna Guanaja Chocolate Mousse. I can't fault this place. Great experience and great food. I'll definitely be going again.

T.

Pizza night! Best pizza in Cambridge, good service also.

J.

Great food fantastic service

H.

Food is incredible. Service is amazing. Get that romantic candlelit spot for two near the entrance

S.

Excellent service and great food

D. M.

We stopped for lunch between the caves and Hobbiton. This food was some of the best we have had in two weeks. Our pizzas were fantastic and the restaurant itself had an eclectic cool vibe that was worth our time.

P.

Alpino was ABSOLUTELY amazing - the food was so delicious (highly recommend the pizza and ragu) and the staff are so lovely, attentive and helpful. The setting was beautiful. This was definitely one of the best meals I have had!

A.

This place is great. We went as a large group and they catered for all (allergies and preferences alike). For the vegans... let them know and they will accommodate brilliantly. Yes, they are a little bit more expensive but you definitely get what you pay for.

R. M.

Fantastic restaurant in the heart of Cambridge. Inside a very cool old Post office with excellent fired pizzas and homemade pastas. Plus they serve Duck Island ice cream!

C.

My favourite restaurant in Cambridge. Make sure you book ahead!

C. &. C. “.

Best authentic Italian pizza in NZ!! Great service and the referb looks great.

J. W.

Lovely food, very nice staff and attentive but quite noisy with the business

M.

The food is amazing. Price was over exaggerated. First time, I had the fish and chicken Over there which was very good. Downside is that there were a lot of flies around that distracted us alot and we couldn't %100 enjoy the food. Second time I went there, no more flies (which is good), again the food was delicious and the portion was ok. The new italian manager came to check and he was very nice, humble, polite and knowledgeable about the food. I highly recommended him. Odownside is that it's extremely over priced for mozzarella sticks, chicken bites, fish and pizza ($100). Basically two appetizers and two main dish with only orange juice. I wanted to rate it two stars or one but food was great and going back again is not planned at all due to pricing. And both times the restaurant was empty (around 12:30 am & around 1:40) no customers, hopefully the person who made the prices wakes up.

C.

Myself and my 9 yr old Daughter dined in last night, Alpino Cambridge was her choice of restaurant on date night with Dad. We had a wonderful time, fantastic service and food. Thanks team!

L.

Family favourite for takeaway pizza and fries. Always amazing service and food.

S.

The service is really good, so is the food but a little more of Italy would be more delicious. The wine though it is tasty is over priced.

J. M.

We had our work conference dinner for 21 people on Sunday 28th April. None us can fault the service, the food or the wine. Thank you for making our event so great. We will be back!

B.

Great snack and drinks when all other places we checked out had their kitchens closed

R.

Service,meals well presented, aged steak tender cooked to perfection,well recommended 👌

N.

Always Great food, wine and service! Highly recommend 👌

H.

Finally a simple (like in Italy) and perfectly executed Italian restaurant in New Zealand. Highly recommended, no flaws...

M. B.

What a neat place! The staff are discreetly attentive - from arrival to departure they were unfailingly cheerful and helpful and are a real asset. It was so cool to see that the staff has an international flavour and that they appear to enjoy their respective roles. The food was amazing and exceeded my expectations for a provincial restaurant. From the duck pate (see how good I am at the technical descriptors!) to the mouth-watering sirloin and the gorgeously silky-smooth chocolate mousse I savoured every bite. Also the added touch of the complimentary salmon thingy at the start was delightful, appreciated and really set the scene for a great night. The atmosphere is also just as I like - noisy and busy with the pervading feeling that everyone, including babies are catered for, and are enjoying the experience. Thank you so much. It was amazing! One thing though - please don't move to Manurewa. Our favourite restaurant may miss out on business! Thank you again. Mike & Sharren Bailey

M. B.

A very enticing menu and the food did not disappoint. We'll definitely be back without the kids to sample some more. The service was fairly hit and miss, lack of cutlery when the mains arrived, etc. Nothing terrible, but the wait staff are basically teenagers under training rather than professionals as far as I could see.

a.

Great place with lovely, helpfull staff. They accomodate a table without booking on a busy day !

R. N.

Great spot. Service is immaculate and food and drink is spot on. I've given it 5 stars, but I had a very quick visit. I'll definitely be back to check out the remainder of the menu!

M.

Great food and service as usual from thoughtful staff.

J.

Morgan and I had the best ever meal tonight! The food was sensational and the staff were from such a high yeld! Getting to know the amazing people who not only deliver your beautiful meals but hand pick the ingredients and wine is second to none. What an amacing experience...you guys rock!!

M. B.

Amazing Italian in a great location. We shared the gnocchi and a pizza outside and it was one of the best meals I've had in recent history. Well done to Noel and the team!

Delicious light summer food.

A.

Went there tonight with my best friend and her Daughter. Very impressed. Staff are awesome and food was yum! Only minor "moan" would be that the pizza wasnt cut or not cut very well. Thanks

B.

Great fit out from what was the old Alpino. The menu has a good range. I recommend the kind prawns. Make sure you book!

D.

Any pasta dish is worth your time at this restaurant

r.

Came here on Mother’s Day evening after making a late booking they said come and have a drink and we’ll fit you in.We were only there a few minutes and we had a table for two.The service was great considering they were so busy and we had two very tasty steak meals with a side of fresh beans and drinks.The restaurant has a very friendly atmosphere and we will definitely be back.

L.

Four of us had dinner and the food was extraordinary. It was super busy so we needed to wait a little for our mains but it was worth while. Would love to go back everyday. So pleased to have such an awesome restaurant in Cambridge :)

M.

Delicious meals, served by extremely nice people. Thank you. Malcolm and Marian

T. M.

Had the express lunch. Great value and very delicious. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere inside. Good wine list. Highly recommended!

J. M. L.

Great food, great staff and friends made for a great lunch on a crisp but sunny winter's day in Cambridge. We loved it.

S. B.

Relaxed yet upmarket atmosphere for a lunch. Euro style pizza. EDIT: visited Alpino on a Wed night, which was quite busy. I arrived before our party of 5. Most tables were full but shortly after I arrived a bar table vacated and a waiter indicated I could use this and I sat at this and awaited a beer. Shortly after the maitre de came over and asked me to move off as he had others to fill the table, and claimed it was 'reserved'. It was clear he just thought I was alone and wanted to fill the table. I find this rude, and had I not already ordered beer would have left, and encouraged the rest of our party to also. Food was still fine, but a maitre de without decorum or tact, won't have me rushing back now.

S.

Always good food, good atmosphere, and great and personal service.

S.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Excellent service from Josh and Riccardo too. Thanks! :-)

c. h.
