On the first sight, this cafe appeared stylish and high class. The italian cusine, especially the arancini is phenomenal with long lasting after taste. Waitress are approachable and caring, constantly replenishing our tea. The tea is super fragrant and impressive. Highly recommend.
A decent cafe embedded in a tranquil and undisturbed village. which is few meters away from the main road(remuera) and convinent parking (upstairs of the new world). Food tasted fresh and well made in a traditional italian style and coffees are lovely.
I went here for a birthday dinner with my partner, and must say this establishment has great food, excellent service, and great atmosphere.
I highly recommend eating here.
Had dinner here a few months ago with the Entertainment Book voucher. To be honest I can't remember anything about the meal. Food wasn't bad, it wasn't amazing either. Same with the atmosphere. Probably wouldn't go back without a voucher.
Tucked away off the busy Remuera road, this restaurant was empty when we dined in for brunch. My partner and I had a couple of free coffee vouchers which was the main reason for our visit but we planned to try out their new breakfast menu too. The outdoor area is stunning and would be great for a large group booking during summer. The décor is really chic with touches of greenery and pastel hues.
We found there weren’t a lot of options on the breakfast menu and settled for the Eggs benedict with balsamic mushrooms, spinach and apple slaw. We’ve had plenty of eggs bene during our time but this was the first to feature apple slaw. It was different! Quite refreshing and actually worked well contrasting with the hollandaise sauce. The ciabatta was fresh and the eggs cooked perfectly. The balsamic was definitely present in the mushrooms and anymore stronger and it would’ve been too overpowering.
Unfortunately, the coffees really let our experience down. The poor young man that served us had never done a day shift before and from the coffees we received, it seemed like it was also his first time using the machine too. He warned us as he delivered the two flat white’s to our table that they wouldn’t be the best coffees we’ve had. He was right, and just a few sips was enough to put us off. He was apologetic and gave us our vouchers back so we could visit again and get a coffee at its best. Although it was a shame about the coffees, his service was good and he dealt with the awkwardness of the situation as well as he could.
Not sure if we’d return again for breakfast– due to the small amount of options but wouldn’t mind dining in for lunch or dinner as the menu looks pretty good.
5/5. I had the truffle hollandaise eggs Benedict and it was beautiful!!! Best breakfast I have had in a looooong time. Amazing service and great coffee. Would defiantly go again!
Tucked away behind a Ray White building is a gorgeous Italian Restaurant. The photos on Zomato don't do it justice .
Came here tonight with the family and we absolutely loved our dinner here.
The two lady staff members were so sweet and bubbly.
Dinner was fantastic ! Every dish was great. The pumpkin soup was creamy and delish. My grandma who is a vegetarian ordered the lasagne and enjoyed it . The rib eye was the highlight for me . Such a generous portion size and cooked to absolute perfection. Not one piece of fat was cast aside . The fish with black risotto was also very good. The shoe strings were perfectly cooked.
For the price it's an absolute steal. All up we paid $95 for 5 people. We did use 2 entertainment cards which really made a difference but regardless for the quantity and quality of their food A+++
Amazing food! Such a nice little restaurant, the only risotto balls that I would say are delicious. Definitely an amazing place to eat and would highly recommend
Had a lovely night here .
Service was impeccable by Maddy and Tony, the food was absolutely superb! Tried out the new addition to the menu Websters Organic Tea which was a nice way to end the night
Will be returning shortly!
It was a very quiet evening at Artussi - thanks, or otherwise, probably to the All Blacks vs Lions match. We were the only customers for the evening!
Our friends & I all had different entrées - Tuna Carpaccio, Capesante Artussi (scallops), porcini mushroom risotto & confit duck, & chicken liver paté. All looked good & tasted good. Hapuka with black ink risotto & the special main (pork ribs) were also nice; Hapuka was fresh & beautifully cooked, risotto was lovely too. We finished with a mixed gelati (passion fruit, raspberry & vanilla) & the tiramisu with caramelised walnuts. My picks of the day were Hapuka & tiramisu.
(Food - 4/5; Service - 4.5/5; Ambience - 3.5/5)
Tonight we sat outside under the heaters. The food was great. I had the rib eye steak and a friend had the lamb special and another had the lamb on the menu. The pasta was light and fresh. We had the brownie to finish which was lovely but very rich. Overall the service was pretty good. Will definitely be coming back.
Arrived on a Sunday evening anticipating an enjoyable meal. We were utterly delighted to discover that everything was well above expectations. Greeted like long lost friends and settled into a nicely positioned table, we felt instantly relaxed. Excellent service throughout. A menu that contrasts well against other local offerings. Italian themed but incorporating NZ wherever sensible. Clearly a good kitchen. We were able to compliment our three course meal with a good bottle of wine from the handy cellar. A great option for those in the district looking for something a little different.
The heater in the inclosed outdoor area felt so Cossey and warm! Blankets were a nice touch, even though we didn't really need it because of the gas heater next to us!
Definitely recommend, the lamb and chicken was amazing!
Wonderful atmosphere food and service as usual was top class I have been before.and will go again
The food was good and nice service.
