Tired out this place with my partner for my birthday dinner tonight after a friend raved about their gnocchi to me the other day (I am a massive gnocchi fan). I have to say this is hands down one of my favourite restaurants I have ever eaten at. The food was not only to die for, but the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was so nice and intimate with soft lighting and candle lights. I cannot recommend this place enough. Anybody who enjoys food needs to come here and eat everything!
Omg!! Just loved the mouth watering food & the cosy cosy ambience of the place. Definite go to place for Italian!��
Went in on a Saturday night which was fairly busy.The Rigatoni and tiramisu was amazing and highly recommend trying it. Polite and friendly staff. Its my new go to spot for Italian food.
Everything was excellent. Lovely little restaurant. The pork ragu and gnocchi were great. The craft beers were surprisingly good as well.
We went on a Thursday night and the place was literally for us 🤩 The truffle mushroom gnocchi were delicious ❤ super friendly staff! Cozy place 👏 grazie!!! Will definitely come back!
Such good gnocchi and seafood spaghetti. Really lovely service as well. Couldn’t recommend more!
It's a very unassuming eatery, but definitely worth looking inside. The space itself is very small, so get in early or make a reservation. The staff are friendly. The food is made with wholesome flavours, and made with care, not the standard fast food type sauces! I had the stuffed calamari, which was very unique. Would definitely go again and try the other pastas and dishes they have on offer.
Amazing gnocchi!! We also love the melazane and the rigatoni 😋 cute and cosy little space. absolutely lovely service. Keeps us coming back!
Best Italian cuisine in Auckland. Staff were very friendly and the food were exceptional. Seafood pasta and eggplant were on the another level. Definitely recommend to all food lovers!
It was fantasitic , we used zomato gold and the food + service was superb.
Would definitely come back again.

It's a tiny restaurant so make a reservation if you want a table on the weekend. The food is 10/10, some of the best Italian food we have had in Auckland. We had the stuffed calamari, the gnocci and the pana cotta. We will definitely be back to try everything on the menu.
We were the first table to arrive at the dinner, and the food was delightful and authentic. Despite there being only one lady serving the entire restaurant at that time, she was really nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend coming again for more pasta.
Amazing place, really kind staff and cozy home vibe, great tasting italian food if you’re looking for traditional cooking with a twist, and very decent pricing too!
We love Venosa. It's authentic, rustic and delicious.
Please ignore the Maddie W review, this is not representative of the heart and care that the owner gives towards her customers and the yummy food.
Some customers are never happy and it's sad that one person's impossible expectations can damage a hard working and lovely business, and just so unfairly!
Go to Venosa, enjoy the wine and authentic Italian food. Have a yarn to the owner - she's awesome!
Amazing food. The gnocchi was so fluffy and light - best gnocchi I've ever had. We also had the Italian sausage and peppers pasta which had an amazing kick to it. The negroni is strong - just FYI as damn it hit like a champ. The owner is super lovely and friendly, this place is amazing for date nights and catch ups.
We have had dinner here twice in the past fortnight. The food has been exquisite. Loved the eggplant dish, the chickpea pasta, and my favourite the pork ragu. Highly recommend a visit for some old school ambience
Great food, great service! I got the gnocchi in truffle cream and my partner got the meatball pasta. Mama Mia! I looove the truffle cream so much I ordered a serving of garlic bread to mop up the cream. The meatballs taste like they are made in house and not frozen store bought ones.
We also ordered the crumbed eggplant for our entrée. Omg, I never knew eggplant could taste like this!
The manager on duty, Mamta, really completed the entire experience. She made us feel right at home with her superb service.
The Gnocchi was perfect. The softness and taste was flawless.
Went here with my girlfriend for an early dinner. Owner was very nice and attentive to us and gave us a table although we hadn’t booked prior. We ordered the Pork Ragu and side Bread. Food came out quickly and tasted lovely. Great experience & Would come again.
Lovely restaurant - have been here a couple times now so feel qualified to leave a good rating. Food is great, they do my favourite garlic bread in all of Auckland and the tiramisu comes highly recommended. Staff are friendly and attentive, and the whole place has a lovely, warm atmosphere. Definitely a great place for a night out.
Lovely authentic Italian restaurant with a charming owner who multitasks cooking, greeting customers, always checking up and assists with payment. The food is authentic Italian food that reminds me of the meals my father cooked for me (we are Sicilian). The atmosphere is very homely and cosy, especially romantic if you are going on a date! I highly recommend the tiramisu. Very fairly priced too.
Ignore the bad review some of them are baffling! Don’t take advice from gluttons that need 3 servings to feel full or people who receive 50% off their bill but STILL complain because they fail to read T&Cs on their deal.
