I couldn't decide whether to write this review or not as our experience at this restaurant was such a bad one. We were a group of six and probably the restaurant should not have taken our booking as they already had two larger groups booked in. Service was very slow and not helped by the fact that staff forgot to... More

Recommended by our motel hosts and they were able to accommodate us at short notice. Extensive menu of Italian favourites and they were happy to adjust the meals according to our dietary preferences. I ordered fettuccine with seafood which was the freshest and tastiest I've ever had. My companions were equally impressed by their vegetarian selections. We also had profiteroles... More

This was an authentic Italian restaurant and the food was great. We would have gone back again if we had more time in Napier. We will definitely go back if ever in Napier again.

My wife and I dropped into this restaurant by chance one January night, and were immediately charmed by the hospitality and enthusiasm offered by the owner.

I hand the gnocchi and my wife had te lasagna and they tasted like they had the exact same sauce. Desserts were average as well. Overpriced. Service was very nice though.

We stumbled on this restaurant with no recommendation or review and were completely surprised and impressed with the attention to service, the wine list and the Italian flavours enjoyed! The menu was true Italy, and all dishes were authentic, fantastic selections. The owner/chef came out to converse with us and showed us the reason for his beautiful food as we... More

I anticipated a better meal than what I had. I ordered scotch steak on the little done side. Also asked for salad with the meal and got roast veges instead. The meal was small in proportion to what I had expected although the presentation looked ok. The dessert was rather disappointing and tasted bland and was a mixture of some... More
