Very nice restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere! We had a Parma Pizza and pasta bolognese and was very good! You need to book online for a table reservation. (Not sure if walk-ins are allowed). Only odd part about our experience is the booking was changed 15 min earlier and we received an email regarding the change (which we did not do). We tried to call the restaurant regarding this discrepancy but realized there is not a phone number for the restaurant (which is true when I talked to them after our dinner).
Went here for my birthday dinner and had an amazing experience. Ortolana Pizza was the stand out, but food overall was so good! Mr. Tacon, the manager taking care of us went above and beyond and helped us with all of our queries. This is what hospitality is all about. Highly recommended.
Delightful Italian restaurant that was nice and quiet on a Sunday lunch. Had the polenta fries to start, nicely seasoned and cripsy on the outside. Gamberi spaghetti with rucola was delightful! Hearty portion size with sweet shrimps and full of garlicky goodness. The napolenta was decent!
We went into this Italian restaurant accidentally as it’s right next to our hotel. The food is wholesome and amazing. The pasta is handmade and perfectly cooked- al dente. The salad is fresh and the tiramisu is just great. Highly recommended!
Best first meal in Christchurch! ? Reached exactly 5pm at their opening hour. Will strongly recommend to make a reservation as the place was quickly packed and tables almost fully booked. What we ordered 1) Squid ink pasta with Prawns 2) Bolognese 3) Pear & Gorgonzola salad 4) Tiramisu The pear & gorgonzola salad was very fresh. Pastas were on point and with a good portion. Squid ink pasta with prawns has abit of zest and the Tiramisu is a good wrap up to the meal. Definitely will return to try out the other items on the menu!
