Reviews of Farelli's by Giovi
H. H.Amazing staff, great food and cozy vibe!
Went for an early dinner here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The gnochi alfredo was the highlight of the meal, the sauce was so flavourful and creamy, couldn’t fault it. Pizza was also great.
L. A.Farllis vegan menu is seriously so delicious!!
It’s a cozy little restaurant with delicious food. Will definitely come back next time we’re in Queenstown!
R. “. W.Went to Farelli's Trattoria for dinner tonight.
Opened with a garlic bread, mains ordered were a Diavolo pizza and a prosciutto pizza and for dessert I for a chocolate mouse and sorbet thing.
I had the Diavolo, which was amazing, great balance of flavors, enough heat and the perfect amount of cheese.
Partner gave good reviews of the prosciutto as well.
Dessert was so good, packed with rich chocolate and berry flavors.
Would 100%return next time we're in Queenstown.
G. N.Update 11/01: Moved to 5 stars - it just gets better, with great vegan dishes!
Prev. update: 4 stars as I always hold out the hope that Farelli's can improve - not sure how as it is amazing! We visit every time we are in Queenstown it never disappoints! Best Italian in town, friendly staff and is vegan friendly!! No matter your dietary requirements you'll find a meal for you. Highly recommend.
A.Just came here for our anniversary dinner and had an amazing meal. We had the roast pork gnocchi, beef ragu and the prosciutto pizza. The gnocchi in particular was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The beef ragu was as delicious and the pizza was tasty, with the crust acting as the perfect thing to soak up the left over sauce. Service was also great with friendly staff and they booked us in last minute. Will definitely be back next time we visit! No pictures as we were too hungry and just got stuck in...
J.Great service. divine cuisine. Lovely atmosphere. Thank you!
K.Absolutely great experience. Staff were so lovley even gave me another glass of wine when I accidentally spilled mine. Pizzas were so fresh and delicious, would recommend to anyone who loves authentic Italian food.
L. C.BEST. GNOCCHI. EVER!
Please do yourself a favor and try the Gorgonzola gnocchi, it’s amazing!
Great service and vibe as well. Totally recommend it!
T.The best dining experience we've had in Queenstown! The food is delicious, the service is amazing. Make sure to order tiramisu for dessert! It's divine! Thank you so much, we'll be coming back.
N.Love this place. Took my son here last week for a pizza. Headed back later in the week to try the pasta. Definitely family friendly but also plenty of couples in plus a big table who were having a good time. The place was busy with a good vibe and the staff were very welcoming, relaxed and attentive.
Great food with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options (they have a separate vegan/vegetarian menu). Highlight was the eggplant parmigiana - super delicious!
My ten year old son loved the pappardelle and pizza, and the vegan chocolate semifreddo was a huge hit.
Thanks for a great experience Farelli’s, see you next time we’re in Queenstown!
M.Fantastic meals and we highly recommend the gnocchi as well as the fettuccine puttanesca! Both excellent. Portion size is perfect too.. just enough room left for a dessert!
S.Food absolutely amazing and was fast to arrive to our table, could not fault a thing - recommend ordering the pork gnocchi and zucca pizza! Staff were so friendly! Will definitely be back
J. B.June2021: just walking past, took a chance and did not regret.
OMGOOOSH.
the Garlic Bread is the BEST. they roast to Garlic 1ST. and my Prawnsgetti mwaahhhh.
E. S.Warm and friendly atmosphere in this cozy Italian restaurant specializing in all things pasta. The staff is attentive and professional. We had the gluten-free options and vegan dishes so our experience is probably different to most. Overall enjoyable and satisfying
k. B.Loooooooove the food here! Can't get enough of their pizza dough.. the gnocchi carbonara was perfect and their garlic bread was delish!! Highly recommended 😊😊
A. K.The food here is always absolutely amazing. The vegan menu has multiple options which are all reasonably priced. The vegan pizza and pasta has vegan cheese and chorizo which is such a treat that it is offered. The service is spectacular and the wine list even has vegan options listed. It’s very rare that a vegan dessert is offered that isn’t just sorbet so the vegan chocolate panna cotta at Farelli’s is a real treat and it is delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone dining in Queenstown, especially vegans.
D.Thank you so much for having such an amazing vegan menu! You have no idea how much that means to plant based folks like me. Absolutely delicious meals! The Gnocchi was so good!
c. c.It took me by surprise that during low seasons reservations were essentials in Queenstown. We chanced upon this place by accident. No regrets! Food was gooood. Pizza was thin crusted and so tasty. The clams...yum. The pastas were great too. Tiramisu...yum yum. Generous portions.
S. S.They got a complete vegan menu! It was really good except of the fettuccine pasta which was good but the sauce was a bit blend . Overall the dishes were big tasty and the service was great 👍🏻 overall great experience:)
N. Y.Despite our booking we were given a table by the door so little bit disappointed..... But lovely waitress Tonya made our evening so delightful! Carbonara was simply divine. Overall we had a great night, thanks to Tonya:)
b. j.Rustic looking food that was extremely tasty. The garlic bread is a meal in itself, better shared I think.
Nice location in the atrium on the wharf.
Worth popping in if you like unfussy authentic Italian fare.
A. S.Went about 1 week ago on holiday and the food was amazing! They have many vegan options for mains and entrees, 2 of which I tried. I had the Fettucine Alfredo and the Zucca Pizza. Both dishes full of so much flavour and very delicious. I highly recommend this place and when back in NZ, I will definitely be coming back!
R.Really enjoyed our experience here. Friendly and fast service. Food was very tasty (calzone and pizza), caesar salad wasn’t great though. Big menu to choose from and very reasonable prices for what you get. Good selection of local and imported drinks too. Would decibels go back if we’re in Queenstown again.
A. J.I asked for extra cheese on my margherita pizza and ended up with the best pizza of my life! Loved that they have plenty of vegan/vegetarian options 😍 We went again for lunch the very next day.
E. P. E.Felt like eating Italian and this trattoria came up pretty high in reviews so I thought it was worth a try.
The gnocchi carbonara is not your traditional recipe but this trattoria serves up a modern twist on this classic. Firstly the gnocchi is handmade, you can tell by the irregular rustic shapes. It is served with mushrooms, crispy bacon (and lots of it!), spinach, cream and a touch of pesto. It is a very rich pasta and the portion size is just right. My only slight feedback was that I found the gnocchi themselves a little ‘gluey’ and perhaps undercooked?
My other half ordered the spaghetti pomodorro with sausage which had classic Italian tomato flavours. It perhaps needed a touch more Parmesan cheese which the staff were happy to bring a small bowl of cheese to add to the pasta.
Ordered a glass of house white Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough to accompany my meal.
Overall a decent Italian restaurant in Queenstown.
J. N.the service was very fast that they didn’t replace the cutlery,the pizza was soggy and the olive had seed which has been marinated but i didn’t like the texture of the olive.The drinks was served in a unique cup which was alright.Overall the food was ok.
F. H.Had the lasagna and bolognese .. tasty food friendly staff would love to come again
T. W.Lovely and warm place, adorable staff and great food. We enjoyed the happy hour with special prices! Special prices for beer as well. Polenta chips, arancini balls and margherita pizza were really good! Strongly recommend
N. N.Great Italian good, homely style that is just plain tasty! I loved the tiramisu, it wasn't a dainty dessert, it was a big scoop of exactly what I wanted!
E. N.Awesome!!! Please try the calzone!😍 Staff really kind, ambient very comfy and friendly! Only recommendation to the restaurant is change the knifes for new ones more sharp.
L. O.Amazing vegan food, it was my favourite place to eat in Queenstown. Very reasonably priced and service was very friendly. Loved it here
W. F.I love my steak and I have tried many steak houses around the world this would have to be one of the best. I ordered the ribeye medium rare and my partner ordered the lamb the food exceeded my expectations I wanted to put another order in so I could take a steak with me lol.
Will now fly back to Melbourne and plan my next trip back to Queenstown so we can dine here again.BIG SHOUT out to the Chefs great work keep it up oh and the potato thing that you do that looks like a small loaf of bread was so good.
M.Amazing food!! The vegetarian bolognese was one of the best I’ve had.
Lovely atmosphere on the wharf, staff were friendly, and they had a great beverage list. If you’re craving pasta or pizza or just good food go to Farelli’s!
D. U.Great spot for lunch.
We showed with the whole tribe, no booking. Six adults and six kids. The staff didn't bat an eyelid. Didn't give us even the smallest hint that we were putting them to trouble. They just combined three tables and seated us. Smiling, the whole time.
Kids menu was spot-on. All our kids are happily, and if you've ever eaten anywhere with six kids, you that doesn't happen everywhere. Staff were great with the children.
Service is polite and quick. Servers have good knowledge of the menu and wine list.
Food is excellent. My family are picky about Italian food. Both my father and I commented that they must have cooked the pasta with a stopwatch, because it was perfect to the second.
Wines were great. They even had a Valpolicella, which is my favourite to drink with pasta (red sauce), and I was delighted to find they had bottles of it there, for me.
Prices very reasonable for the quality of the food. If it wasn't great food, you might think it a little high, but we were very happy to pay the bill.
All-round good experience.
S.Great vegan options! Since going vegan this is the first proper Italian options we have had available in years. Yum!
V. N.Fabulous food and friendly staff. Pasta and pizza's were great.
M. P.Decent for Italian food in town, service was fantastic and lots of options to choose from. Olives with Almonds were superb!
L.Vegan menu was tops. Wanted everything but settled for italian potatoes and margharita pizza. Sooooooo good. Service and atmosohere great too.
J. N.This place is so busy its fantastic. After a day of hiking we decided on ordering takeaway. Fresh pasta fresh ingredients and truely delicious. Left Queenstown craving for more pasta.
T.Vegan menu was good! We ordered the Margherita pizza and the fettuccini Alfredo. The pizza was our favorite, the pasta needed some fresh lemon. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu (not vegan) and it was delicious! Not too coffee flavored.
G.Pleasant casual restaurant with quality Italian food. It is situated near the Queenstown waterfront. Friendly and efficient staff.
A. L.Delicious food, quick and friendly service - fabulous every time we go! Meals are always tasty and perfectly cooked
カ.Nice place to have dinner. Had a calzone and it was the best part. Great for cheese lovers, as it is 4 cheese calzone. Best i had for a long while. Kombucha was good, refreshing from a tiring day.
T.Ordered takeaways and the food was fantastically fresh. Garlic bread was amazing
R. C.Food were good, staffs were really friendly.
4：30-6pm everyday have special price $15 of pizza and spaghetti
S. B.I really wanted to love this place. As a vegetarian, I fully support places that offer seperate vegan/vege meals, so I was really looking forward to this restaurant. Sadly, this place does not deliver. The vegan salami pizza was disgusting. I've had better mock meat from the frozen section of the supermarket. The 4 cheese calzone had very minimal cheese and was basically filled with tomato. When we asked if we had been given a wrong calzone by mistake, the waitress just shrugged. The bruschetta was some weird dip concoction on bread. Giving 3 stars because the meat eaters in our group were happy with their meals and also the tiramisu was decent. But overall, very disappointed, especially as the meals are quite pricey.
S. C.The arancini and the polenta were great. it's not expensive for the quality of the food, the size of the portions and the good service
S.Amazing G/F Vegan pizza incredible lots of vegan options it's a must for Vegans yum yum!!
Gr8 Gr8 service too!!
J.Very nice food that is reasonably priced & great menu! Friendly staff who provide good customer service.
E. L.The gnocchi was absolutely superb! Never tasted anything so flavoursome! Great service as well.
L. P.Such a good Italian restaurant. One of the better meals I have had in a long time and we eat out often. Absolutely great service. Good value. Amazing food. We had the gnocchi, ragu (bolognese), pork belly, and orecchiette. As well as two tiramisu (fantastic). Great wine and beer too! Could not recommend more!
H.Gorgeous food, excellent plant based options. We spent way more than we intended because we felt so at home
A.OH! MY! GOD!!
Absolutely to die for!!!
I will be going back and not sharing!
The food and flavors are amazing and definitely taste more "upper class" and "5 star" then a meal for 45-60 dollars and it's their well priced!!
The staff are so lovely and friendly and I'm so sorry I didn't give a tip, if I had known a head of time I would have tipped you since the food and service was that good!!.
The location and entryway is so unique and well done, the inside is what I would imagine an italian fantasy to be like.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
AMAZING!!!
B.Had a great family celebration dinner here. Bustling place with fantastic food and proactive service. The owner even took time to talk us through a story of the wine list even though they were really busy.
We will return!
Thanks guys.
K. L.Amazing pizza, pasta and steak and great ambience. Can get pretty busy but definitely worth going to for some tasty italian food!
S.Good food however taste wasn’t Italian at all except for starter
Beer was nice customer service very good
N.Love this authentic Italian restaurant. We always come here when we visit Queenstown and it never disappoints. The only down side is that we have never managed to fit in a Tiramisu, because we over eat on the delicious pasta dishes. Will try on our next visit. Thanks to the team at Farelli's, keep up the good standard.
L. L. (.I had spaghetti tomato with "Nelson clam". The clams were sandy, not sure from the cracking shell or the clam itself. Plain spaghetti and the sausage pizza was fine.
L.Stan and DeArna thought this Italian Restaurant was excellent. Great friendly service and food was delicious! Really really appreciated there being a Vegan option ... good on you!
H.Farelli's has changed quite a bit from our last visit 3years ago, but somehow even on the craziness of Saturday night, they were welcoming, the atmosphere was buzzing, food and drink came quickly and was delicious. An entire menu for vegan food is impressive to see too!
Excited to come back again. :)
L. C.Delicious gnocci! Quiet and comfortable place. The dish seams small, but no, was perfect for my hungry.
N.One of the best Italian food I have tried. Worth trying.
C.A very nice lunch, close to the harbor in the center of everything. Food and service were wonderful. Excellent staff, Erica from America and Merle from Germany gave us great recommendations and were a lot of fun!
S.Great food. Perfect sized dishes and a very pleasant and helpful waitress. Her suggestion about the portion sizes was brilliant. Great atmosphere, attentive staff even though they were busy. The gelato was the perfect finish to the meal. Big tick on the gluten free and vegan menus as they are full of choice.
R.The vegetarian options were spot on. Gnocchi and the margherita pizza was superb.
s.Excellent wait staff with a pleasant warm and inviting atmosphere. Notes of Italian culture sprinkled throughout the restaurant elegantly. The food was phenomenal, constructed flavours and authentic taste. The wine served was BRILLIANT. Quality service and dining experience at an affordable price. I would recommend to a friend.
T.Absolutely beautiful...excellent food service and very well priced. Would recommend to all. Best Italian food in Queenstown 🥂❤
B.One of the best Italian dinner I’ve ever had! Absolutely amazing food, we all loved our meals. Gorgeous bottle of wine too 🍷
Best meal ever !!
A.Definitely could do better. Cramped old for being in Central city, 2 out 3 staff friendly inviting and happy to be at work the other may be by nature not very engaging had the same monotone 9-6 job body language. Food was below average pizza too oily damn salty and chicken bolognaise really tarty with more pasta and tomato puree seemed like straight out of a tin can. Disappointing for $68 advertised as Italian food. Should have ordered from dominoes or pizza hut.
A.Yummy! Pizza base and toppings excellent quality and salad was tasty fresh plus alongside amazing service- slight mix up with our order no issues at all they sorted it and delivered to our hotel across the road! Thank you we will be back for pasta!
C.A great dinner here. The garlic bread was spectacular (and worthy of going back for alone). Their pizza was thin, crispy and packed with flavour. Their pasta was out of this world good! Great spot, good service, fantastic food, well worth the visit!
S.Warm, welcoming with dependable, good tasty food.
As a vegan I'm not used to this many options.
My little ones tastes can change, it's great going out for a meal where nothing is a problem. If she wants pasta with oil & a crack of salt (among other odd little requests that come up on the fly) then this really is the place for you.
A regular for us whenever we are in town.
J. W.Delicious food!!!! Such a fantastic range of tasty vegan options too. The staff were lovely, cheerful, and helpful. We were lucky to get a table so a good idea to book ahead I think. Thanks for having us!!
j.My family and I had a really lovely meal there. We are difficult to please with no melted cheese for the kids and I'm a vegetarian. Food was great as was the service. Would definitely go again. One of our nicest meals in Queenstown.
R.Fabulous service. Ammmazzzing food. Could not fault our experience.
A. S.Forgot to take to some pictures! However, this place was amazing! All was cooked to perfection!
Perfectly crispy fried calamari! Buttery garlic bread with real roasted garlic clove on each slice! AND perfect thin crispy based salami pizza! Gobbled it all down!
Highly recommend this place!
C.Great service and food!! will be back for my next visit : )
S. B.Amazing place. Fantastic service. Friendly and very very good service. Had a 60th there tonight. They have a separate vegan menu with plenty of options. Food 10 out of 10.
L. H.Great ambience and staff attentive and quick to take drinks and foods order. Portions and food excellent. Only disappointment was there was no salami or bolognese left when we visited on a Sunday at 6pm, for an Italian restaurant we found this quite strange!
D.The best service in town! Leah is the best waitress ever!
R.Best prawn linguini ever! Full of flavour and the crumb is just icing on the cake. The margarita pizza was also spot on and the price is very decent for a front water location. Highly recommend.
E.Best Italian in Queenstown! Cute restaurant and friendly staff! Great for the fussy eaters too. I recommend the prawn linguine however everyone I go with enjoys all their meals!
M.Probably the best meal we’ve had in our week-long stay in Queenstown. The vegans in our group appreciated the full vegan menu and ordered the vegan pasta bolognaise. The non-vegan (me) ordered the same ... and it was absolutely delicious!! Didn’t miss the meat at all. It was wholesome and really, really tasty. High recommended.
M. B.Stopped in for dinner. The store had a lovely ambience with modern yet relevant decor. Exceptional customer service by waitstaff and manager. All were very friendly and appropriately attentive. A great spot for an authentic pizza by the waterfront of lake Wakatipu. The pizza was the best we tasted in Queenstown.
B.Fantastic vegan menu. Food is outstanding! Best vegan pizza I've ever had and the staff are second to none. If you want a good meal and outstanding service, this is the place to come!
Y.Very nice pizzas and menu .customer service is very good. Really liked the drinks. Very nice atmosphere and lovely place. Specially liked the garlic bread and vegetarian pizza. We randomly found the place while visiting Queenstown but didn't regret a bit. Worth eating here and good experience
D.I had two pizzas to take away, staff was very welcoming, I ordered one bianca and one Margherita, the bianca was great and very tasty but I'm sorry to say that my Margherita was very dry, lacking of cheese, however the bread was very good!
N. G.It is a very good restaurant.
We are vegetarians and the staff helped us so much and advised us about all dishes which we can get and what all changes they can make.
All the staff were giving so positive vibes it was amazing experience.
The food was seriously awesome I liked everything there.
Atmosphere in this restaurant were so +ve I loved it will go again definitely.
S.Vege and vegan menu options great portions super tasty and yummy!
J.Had an absolutely delicious lunch at Farelli’s today. The vegan bolognese was phenomenal, when I used to eat meat, I would have been equally satisfied. We also enjoyed a vegan pizza, just yummy. Highly recommended. Our best meal in Queenstown this holiday for sure!
C. S.Food was good, service not so much. Given the choice of 2 tables right next to the bathroom, didn't start well. Then given soiled tableware. Ordered 2 beers an Male server assumed the bottled dark beer was for my husband and I had to flag another server to get a glass. Food tastes good, so I didn't rate lower.
L.The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We had a 1 year old with us and they accommodated that well. The entree's were nice and quick and tasted great but the mains took quite a while to come out. It was busy so that is probably why. Lovely little restaurant.
S.Fantastic restaurant. It has an entirely separate vegan menu, gluten free options and even has vegan wines clearly labelled in the drinks menu. The food was amazing. Great to have kombucha available too for a healthy non alcoholic option. Will definitely go back next time I'm in Queenstown.
T.Good pasta, good selection of kids meals, good wine list. Pizza was just ok, base very doughy like it was undercooked. Desserts were probably the highlight of the meal, tiramisu and sticky date were delicious. Waitress friendly and attentive.
S.Great team, friendly service, a favourite local eatery. I don't go past the prawn linguine
G. L.One of the best meals I've ever had. The clams starter was wonderfully full of flavor. Order the bread to soak up the sauce, but be sure to use the olive oil/balsamic mixture they bring as well. My steak was cooked perfectly and had brilliant accompanying flavors. Wonderful experience.
D.Bustling noisy Italian restaurant with a good selection of wines and beers. Serious garlic bread, quick service on a variety of Italian pasta and pizzas.
H.5 stars is not enough, even 10 stars would not be fair to the best pizza in New Zealand! The only place around here that I can for sure say "OK THIS IS PIZZA". If you really want eat well for a fair price don't spend your time at The Cow, cause Farelli's food and staff are the best around.
R.I love this place. I don't often have access to vegan Italian food and this place delivers. Great happy hour specials too. I highly recommend the garlic bread, blanco pizza, and fettuccini alfredo. I've eaten here twice in a row. The food is terrific. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is quaint. I hope to visit again someday.
M.I love this restaurant, friendly staff, great food and Italian ambience. Loved the fettuccine bolognaise and Arancini, not forgetting the tiramisu!! Look forward to going there next time I'm in Queenstown
S.Loved it, the prosciutto pizza is a must go !!!!
A.Three of us shared a pancetta pizza, two lots of the spaghetti with clams, garlic bread and arancini. The garlic bread was the star, huge portion and super tasty, pizza and arancini were also great. Pasta dish was nice but not something to get excited about, it was lacking a little something. Would definitely recommend going here if you want some good food, it a friendly joint.
M.Probably the best Italian restaurant in New Zealand! Delicious!
A huge vegan menu as well ❤️
P.Service was good, staff was friendly, n attentive, saw them quickly position the heater once any customer sit outside. price was reasonable. However, food was not as good, too salty for my liking n the wait for the food is long. Both probably due to peak hour.
P. B.Great service
Really good food
First Italian place I've been to that accommodate vegan diet. They had lots of vegan cheese substitute and a separate vegan menu.
Vegan cheese did not compromise on flavor at all.
R.I Dined at Farelli's last night for the first time with local friends .
This would have to be the best dinning experience I have had. The meal sizes very generous and delicious . The staff and service is excellent . Its great to see the owner as well out on the floor working . I will be returning again for sure. Thanks .
S.I've have dined here twice in 2 days. There are generous vegan options and packed full of flavour. The service was friendly and efficient.
Great homely atmosphere.
S.I really enjoyed my visit here. The food was excellent and the staff all so pleasant. We'll worth a visit for a hearty Italian meal.
H. W.Bloody lovely! Service was fantastic, great atmosphere, pricing was great and food was spectacular. Bring your appetite though or be prepared to take home a doggy bag! I had the spag bol of which I am a critque in because i try it everywhere.... holy cow...(no pun intended) slow cooked pulled beef instead of mince, just incredible. Thank you for the great experience! We will be back! :) As for the below comment on overpriced wine...it was $10-13 a glass and it was a full glass, not half, well worth it.
J.Really impressed with the service, all staff were so friendly and helpful and it made for a really nice environment. The food was also absolutely amazing!! Will definitely be back and I highly recommend anyone visit.
A.Loved it! Will go back. Amazing food and very pleasant staff and location. A new Favourite for sure with a good vegan menu.
P.Food is nice enough. Gnocchi wasn't particularly well cooked but sauce was rich. Spaghetti bolognese was nice. Servings were large abd quick, almost too quick. Staff seemed almost I hurry to move us on.
S.Good food and very kind staff
A.Walked past this restaurant the day I got to Queenstown. The next day I stopped by and had the best dinner I have had from an Italian restaurant!!!!! Wonderful servers and great people!!!!! Super friendly!!!! The food was amazing!! I had the Spaghetti Pomodoro. It was splendid!!!!! I loved my experience here and I recomend eating here sometime!!!!
G.Wonderful service! All staff are prompt and charismatic. We ordered Gnochi Carbonara and Calzone Four Cheese: the dishes are well presented and the portions are large! The price is reasonable and the place is very confortable, I felt at home.
E. G.Amazing food, great service and location - will definitely be back! Everything was amazing from start to finish - favorites were the arancini, gnocchi carbonara, and the affogato (add the frangelico shot, you deserve it!)
H.Amazing Italian restaurant... good food and nice staff
l.This is the best Italian food that I ever had soooo taste and the service is very good we loved
K.Fantastic vegan menu, great range if you have dietary requirements. Cosy environment and lovely staff too.
N.Just excellent... Haven't had a good steak like this in ages.. Just pure flavor and great customer service. Thank you
A.Friendly and fun service, with mind blowing food! They were able to seat a large walk-in on short notice - absolute legends!
A. R.Easily the best restaurant in Queenstown. Fantastic food, fantastic service (no plates cleared until everyone was finished). They have a vegan menu and gluten free pizzas. The other food was really nice also. Highly recommended.
J. C.Hands down best pasta I've ever had. The gnocchi carbonara was seriously epic. The staff were wonderful and would highly recommend for a beautiful Italian feed 😊
B.Great food with big portions! In a convenient location. Staff was super friendly and the garlic bread was absolutely DELICIOUS! Our favorite meal in Queenstown.
j.Hubby and I had a late dinner here last night.
Hubby ordered gnocchi carbonara and I had the Bolognese, both dishes were delicious and huge portions, garlic bread was on point too. Friendly staff, cosy warm restaurant. What more could you want.
M.Best vegan food in Queenstown! We enjoyed the garlic bread, Bianco pizza, and the mushroom calzone. The staff was attentive and the atmosphere was delightful. Can't wait to go again!
J.Amazing food, full vegan menu. Some of the boys had the alfredo gnocchi and said it was one of the best things they've tasted in their life so I definitely recommend going
S. B.Farelli's is one of my favourite restaurants in Queenstown for lunch and dinner. Great food, friendly service at an affordable price. Fave meal - gnocchi carbonara! So delicious.
S.Awesome staff and truly amazing food. Don't pass it up if you are in Queesntown.
I was a little disappointed to hear that they didin't have lasagna, but they recommended the cannelloni instead. WOW! Described as "cheesy, meaty, bubbling goodness" by one of the owners, it did not disappoint. So full of flavor and such a generous portion, I did not go away hungry.
My girlfriend had the gnocchi, which was equally as flavorful and delicious. Easily the best meal we had in Queenstown, and maybe in New Zealand.
D.Wife thought the linguine matched one of her all time favourite dishes in Priaono, Amalfi. Service was superb. Can't recommend more highly
P.Great place for vegetarians. Linguini and Fettuccine with fresh garlic bread was super tasty. Little pricey, maybe $$ signs but worth it after a thrilling bungy jump 😅
P.All the items we had were excellent but the gnocchi carbonara was truly outstanding. Good service too and reasonably priced for Queenstown. Also good portion sizes.
B.Perfect pizza and has a great glutton free offering. Lovely first lunch we had on our arrival. Highly recommended if you love a good pizza
G.Great food, tasty, and well presented. All served by friendly efficient wait staff. Overall a very good dining experience. I will return. Thank you
A. A.My first time dinning here last night with my partner and it a great experience. The best Italian food I have ever had. Reasonable pricing and super fast wait time. Definitely recommend!
H.Had the seasfood bowl, shredded pork pizza and salami pizza.
Seafood bowl very tasty but quite small. Pizze were good but why so much oil.
Atmosphere is very nice and the service too.
A.Authentic Italian in a place very far from Italy. We had a great pizza. Nice selection of Italian and NZ wines.
H.Loved my experience here. The staff were lovely and down to earth. The food was awesome and they had good gluten free options
A.Food was good, but ran out of bolognaise before 20:00. Service was a touch slow but friendly. Good food, disappointing that some food was not available so early.
N.Was happy with meal until I saw the bill. Don't you hate it when you sit down aND they ask you if you prefer still or sparking water and then when you pay for your meal you find they've charged you $8 for water. Misleading and ruined an otherwise good experience.
L.Amazing food and service, their gnocchi are like little pillows of deliciousness. Even more amazing that they have a full vegan menu available including pizza with vegan cheese.
J.Nice restaurant, great staff, very good value for money, generous portions, shame about the plastic table cloth.
V.Lovely place, delicious pastas, generous servings & loaded with fresh seafood. The icing on the cake was a very attentive & friendly waitress! Thank you for such an enjoyable night!
C.Not a bad place for a quick bite to eat, nice staff, good for families and groups, decors a bit tired. We all had the Bolognaise which was average. Good choice of domestic and foreign wines.
J.Great staff and amazing food. Brilliant with my 6 year old boy. A true Italian feel. Thank you for finishing off a beautiful day in Queenstown with such a superb evening.
I. N.Ordered pasta , soup and grassini and all of them were good.
Specially the grassini ( which was bread sticks with 3 sauces)
Friendly and quick service and good taste to the food. Nice reasonably priced Italian option
J.Great service, wonderful staff and amazing food. I tried almost everything on the vegan menu and wasn't disappointed a single time. By far the best restaurant in Queenstown, and the best vegan food. Thank you Farelli's!
K.The food was absolutely amazing!! If I lived here we would be here every week!
A.got in early for the $15 special.. got an outstanding pizza which was perfect and the spaghetti Bolognese is out of this world.. they were also very accommodating to our toddler with high chair crayons and some drawing books!
L.Amazing food, lots of vegan options. We got several dishes and they were all really tasty!
C.Hands down the best Italian food I've ever eaten. Incredible from start to finish and the staff are amazing.
R.Awesome place to eat! The food was impressive and I liked the presentation. Service was also very kind. Came here to eat while I was visiting because I saw they supported the Mtn. Bike Trail System, Great Job!
d.The house Italian red wine was very good!
But the pasta was overboiled. I ordered fetuccini Bolognese, the sauce was good but not the pasta... Staff nice.
J.Decent cheap italian food. Nice italian restaurant theme and atmosphere. Whole menu full of dairy free and vegan options.
N.The food wasn't that good. Minestrone didn't taste like minestrone but more like a simple vegetable broth...the pizza was ok. After trying some nice italian restaurants in Wanaka and Dunedin, we didn't quite enjoy this one.
A.Delicious food. Great service and friendly staff. Also really appreciated the vegan menu, as it can be difficult to find good vegan options when dining out :)
K.Lovely food, great value and outstanding service. Nice cosy atmosphere, what more could you ask for?!
C.September 201
calzone!
this was the first place i could find calzone in NZ, what is very good, also gnocchi what was very, but very good. been there few times with friends. i just don't like the tap been, could have steinlager on tap :)
J.Good service and nice food.
d.Really good food at great prices. Definitely a generous portion of meat in the pasta. Will recommend anyone passing by Queenstown to stop by this joint
A.Great staff and excellent food! Loved the Central Otago wine selections. My daughter loved her birthday dinner and thank you for the staff that went out of the way to help celebrate
S.+ Decent pizza
+ Lots of vegan options
- The vegan cheese is not very refined and too creamy for pizza
- Cream in the cannoli was mediocre
- Not cheap for the quality
R.The food here is outstanding. 5 stars is not enough for this place.
E.A nice little restaurant, great location and atmosphere, staff were courteous and service was timely. Food was good, would highly recommend the garlic bread.
A.Pasta was so delicious we ate there 3 times. Only limited to 4 or 5 pastas though. The spaghetti bol was the best I've ever had though
E.Omg. The best vegan pasta ever. So many options!! Love this restaurant. Excellent food and fantastic service. All round winner!!
A.Had the gnocchi and it was delicious. Rest of the table had other dishes and were satisfied too.
H.Food was fantastic, view was good. This cosy Italian fills up at 6pm so you must book ahead. The meal wait was only about 30 minutes also.
S.Really yummy food. Filling, with a whole vegan menu. I enjoyed my dining there.
T.Food was decent but didn’t make us aware before the meal that there was a holiday surcharge. I also don’t think a restaurant should open if it can’t operate without the surcharge.
Many other places in town without it...
R.Dinner of Spaghetti Bolognese was excellent. Paired with a nice Pinot Noir made the dinner outstanding. The personnel made the visit a great ecperience. A stop not to be missed.
H.Amazing vegan menu!! The best vegan pizza ever and amazing service 👌🏼🍕
K.Really great food and service.
Happy hour prices were awesome to.
Yum!
N.Yum! Best Italian in NZ. And they have a whole vegan menu as big as the normal menu!
T.Absolutely perfect. I think I had the best pasta in my life - Squid Ink homemade noodles with clams and salmon - very delicious.
R.We had a wonderful dinner at Farelli's (particularly the Pork Belly). The staff were great and the atmosphere relaxed and friendly. We would definitely recommend this restaurant!
A.Came here for dinner on our first night and was not let down at all. Service was warm and prompt, and food was great. Ended up returning twice more just for the food.
a.So good plus vegan menu. Staff are super staff, very lucky owner. Well done team!!!
J.Busy restaurant with great Italian food. My dish had (the potato gnocchi) too much sauce, but the taste was excellent and staff were friendly.
J.What a fantastic place to dine, the courtyard atmosphere amongst the other diners was amazing, service was great and the food was outstanding. We had a great evening and will be going again.

L.Fabulous tasty food. Ate during happy hour. 2 pizzas and pasta for $45. Very good valye. Will be back before I leave qtown
X.The 9 of us came for dinner, everyone enjoyed their own dish. It's consistent with the quality and flavour of each dish.
a.The food takes a long time to be served, probably due to the crowd in the restaurant. My carbonara was quite salty and the gnocchi tasted average.
D.Blown away by how good the food was. Potato Gnocchi was amazing and girlfriend had the Beef Spaghetti Bolognese and loved it as well.
S.The best pasta ive ever eaten and the service was just amazing would highly recommend this place!
S.Pasta and appetizers were just AMAZING. Server was great as well. Would definately recommend :)
A.Always great service and delicious food!
T.Excellent vegan menu. Best vegan cheese I've had.
M.We had monk fish and shrimp spaghetti,
On the second visit was seated inside and it felt like a can when it was full, had us confused it was a pub cause it was really load, food quality was not excellant but rather passable.
L.Food fab. Managed to get us a table even though it was extremely busy. Went back again the following night as it was so good.
S.Really lovely pasta.
M.Great Italian food, vegan options, good wine. Old Vespa outfront!
K.Agreed the prawn linguine was amazing - the pizza’s were very basic with doughy bases. Staff were friendly and competent - prices a little expensive.
C.Farellis had great food and service and is in a nice location. Definitely a restaurant to go to for anyone staying in Queenstown
K.Great Italian food. Suprisingly large servings but not heavily buried under too much of cheese , which was a good thing!
R.Loved it. True chianti and a fine dinner.
