Home away from home. Here I can find all the flavours I miss from Italy. Very wide selection of products, from pastas to sweet treats, Vladi and his staff always recommend the finest delights. It's also the best place in town to experience genuine Italian home cooking, their pastas never fail to amaze me.
Delicious food and amazing service. Prices are super reasonable. Absolutely loved it! Awesome Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, best pasta and lasagna with tasty salad and bruschetta we had in New Zealand! Staff was super friendly, very welcoming and warm. Homemade ice cream was awesome! Definitely recommend! 5 thumps up.
Vladimiro, the owner, and his staff really made us feel welcome. The meal and service were excellent. We had dinner there with our family. We were visiting from South Africa 🇿🇦. Thanks Vlad(Luigi)
Incredible food and an incredible owner. Accompanied by fantastic service. Awesome drinks list and food to die for. Could not get a higher recommendation.
Amazing tasty food, friendly staff, and a family feel. Great coffee & Italian food cheeses, meats & deserts. Awesome special yummy sauces like the tomato with white truffle. All kinds of pasta, even beautiful colourful ones. You can't find food like this anywhere else. Lovely treats and authentic cuisine from Italy.
Been there a couple of times now with exceptional authentic Italian dinner each time. They didn't mind that we had an extra person and the service was friendly. It is awesome to see the chef cooking your food. Would recommend to anyone who loves pasta.
The food and staff here are so good that I asked if they would prepare a lunch for our staff meeting. It was so good. So much variety (customised to our staff) and so nicely prepared for me to take back to the office on platters. Their effort as well as their flavours exceeded our expectations. Very happy, grateful and well-fed.
Simply my absolute favourite place in Christchurch, perhaps even my favourite spot in NZ to eat and soak up the atmosphere... Being there feels like being in a little slice of Tuscany!! The VERY BEST of a family feel too, so welcoming that you won't want to leave... ❤❤❤❤❤
Italian feel right from the atmosphere to food. Delizioso pasta and antipasto.
Outstanding ! The food, service, atmosphere and price are all superb. Saturday evening Happy Hour with a shared platter and glass of prosecco followed by the grouper tortellini with lobster sauce, and another glass of prosecco was absolute bliss. Lovely to hear so many people speaking Italian. I totally recommend you check this place out. Their focaccia is the best I've ever had - and yes you can buy it to take home. I'll definitely be back.
