I have only words of thanks for the staff for putting up with 19 latin ladies. Thank you for your patience, kindness and, above all, for the pleasant atmosphere.
The food was exquisite, the pasta + wine combo was spectacular. What a great mojito, one of the best I've had in Christchurch. Thanks to the chef for accommodating our orders, even though some of us hadn't initially planned to dine. 100% highly recommended. We will be back, but in smaller groups hehe.
Sorry if we bother to all the staff. We had a very good time!

Original Sin offered us a fantastic dining experience that truly captured the essence of Italian hospitality and wholesome cuisine. With a group as large as 18, managing logistics can often be tricky, but the staff at Original Sin welcomed us with open arms and ensured we had a smooth and enjoyable time. Their proactive approach in checking on us throughout the day leading to the evening added a personalised touch that we all appreciated.
The food was great. From antipasti to desserts, every dish was prepared with attention to detail and full of authentic flavors that made us feel like we were dining in a quaint Italian village. The experience was heightened by the ambiance—warm, inviting, and perfect for group gatherings where the goal is to feel like one big family.
Original Sin isn't just a restaurant; it's a place where good food and good people come together to create memorable experiences. Whether you're coming in with family, friends, or, in our case, a group of mentors and scholars, you're in for a treat. Highly recommended!
Fabulous cocktails and mocktails, very good food and superb service.
Ordered the chilli prawns and the linguine and this didn’t disappoint! Also their duck fat potatoes were stuff dreams are made of. Crispy and fluffy!
Their menu is accurate and they can cater for lactose free so anyone with dairy allergies can enjoy this delicious pasta!
Really good food and big portions. They have a lunch meal until 4PM, $20 for any of the pizza options or from the pasta section you can choose between fettuccine and bolognese.
Been here twice now. Once for dinner and once for the cocktail club hour.
Dinner was divine! Great staff that night and excellent drinks.
Cocktail club was lovely too. Super friendly waitress, which was great because I could see how busy they were! The drinks once again were excellent. Unfortunately the risotto wasn’t quite cooked BUT the flavour was still great and wouldn’t stop me going back :)
I liked the look, sound and vibe of this place, so we decided to dine in here, we ordered pizza each and it was really nice baked in a pizza over, a nice think crust just how I like it, me and my mate both ordered once each and they were both good size portions. I do recommend this establishment, the staff are cool and friends.
Although it was quiet, some of the seating area wasn't in use, so we were sat at a bench and stools and not the free tables and chairs we could see. When we asked about this we were told the area wasn't in use, but we did notice it being used later. Nice chatty staff.
Lovely Italian meal in a nice atmosphere. We were seated in a booth and it was not too noisy. The Wednesday wine & pasta deal was very good value. I had the risotto and it was perfect.
