A fantastic place to taste Greek delicacies! Very friendly environment, great quality food, a place to to visit again and again! Don’t forget to drink ouzo along with the Greek meze dishes to have a complete experience.
We have eaten at El Greco regularly - since the opening day. There couldn't be a better place to enjoy great Greek food cooked as it should be cooked by a passionate team of chefs. We have introduced many people to the restaurant and wouldn't do it if we weren't entirely happy! Love the place, the team and the ambience. You got to try it! ******
My boyfriend and I had a voucher so we thought it was a good opportunity to try a new restaurant! Both the pizza and the pasta were delicious - he said it was the best pasta he’d ever had! We’ll definitely be coming to dine in when restaurants reopen :)
My pasta was really good! It wasn’t too heavy but it had a lot of flavor. I will come again and try other pasta dishes 😍
A great neighbourhood eatery where everyone is greeted like they’re an old friend.
I have been here a couple of times and definitely recommend the penne de costa. They also do a great starter pizza bread with Parmesan and pesto.
Very yummy food and great portions. Highly recommend visiting here.

A warm dining experience.. the kind that leaves the tummy full and heart smiling. Honest food and an amazing host. Highly recommend trying the Greek options as there are many places for a good pasta. Their pasta is also good though.

We had a lovely dinner at El Greco. George was so friendly and accommodating. I had the chicken el Greco and my partner had the seafood salad. We finished the meal with the limoncello cheese cake and an espresso.
George the manager was very friendly and even recommended a nice white wine to go with my partner’s meal.
Food is amazing! Super friendly staff. The price is a little higher than what we would pay when eating out but it’s worth visiting! The baklava is the best.
El Greco damn it good man. Been here twice and had a lovely experience. The staff are super friendly and since my family and I are greek the manager also talks to us in greek and is super chatty. The food is super fresh and full of flavour. Defiently give the place a try but make a booking before going because it gets super busy. x
Came in for dinner the other night with the family and some friends. The restaurant itself is very modern and really cute. We ordered a magherita pizza to share which was alright but the cheese was a bit bitter so it wasn't very enjoyable. My sister and I shared the 'penne de costa' and it was quite good. Would like to come back and give some more items a go. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.
Best Greek food in town. Excellent service and amazing atmosphere. True Greek “Philotimo” . Food tastes like my Mom used to make. Will keep going back.
My new favourite local restaurant!! Never dead which is nice to see and they have really friendly and welcoming staff. I have come plenty of times and can safely say the pastas are hands down the best around!! The Pollo Picante pasta 😍😍
Amazing experience tonight!! Service was off the charts. We asked to be sat outside and we’re immediately offered blankets and had the heater turned on. Waiters made sure we had an amazing experience and the food was divine! We enjoyed the BYO aspect and the owners definitely looked after us. Ordered a second dessert it was that delicious. Would definitely recommend!!
Everything was delicious and full of flavour. Looking forward to going back to try more of their menu 🤤👌
Close to the beach too - bonus points!
Food was extremely tasty especially the freshly toasted bread. Everything was cooked to perfection. Service was outstanding and made us feel at home.
Great vibe and music; owners and waiters are from Greek- very friendly! We had pizzas, pasta, bread dip, calamari rings, and drinks~ The food is decent but not as special as expected ~ would recommend ppl to try order something else~ but overall we really enjoyed our visit here ~
Yo, check out El Greco - Greek Italian Eatery – it’s like this awesome spot in Auckland where you get legit Greek and Italian vibes. With a solid 4.7 stars on Google Maps, it’s no secret that locals and out-of-towners are all about it.
Peep these highlights from the reviews:
• “The food is unreal! Super fresh, crazy authentic, and they don’t mess around with portion sizes.”
• “Service is top-notch. The crew is friendly, on point, making sure you’re having a blast.”
• “The vibe is chill and cozy. Perfect spot to kick back, enjoy some grub with your crew.”
Honestly, if you’re after a real deal Greek or Italian meal in Auckland, El Greco is the move. Seriously, you won’t regret it! 🌟
It was a nice exotic experience for us to have Greek dishes. Also, a short walk along the Cambells Bay beach after brunch was a bonus of the location of the El Greco.
Friendly staff served our delights and took the empty plates quickly. The place is kind of too busy to stay longer. We arrived at 12.05 pm and left before half past one with 8 main dishes and 3 appitizers.
Three of us ordered Spaghetti Carbonara and my daughter couldn't finish it as it is a bit big portion for her. My hubby who loves shrimps a lot was not happy with his main dish, Spaghetti Marinara, as it tastes just plain. The Grilled Octopus was my favorite among dishes we ordered at that time.

Friday night dinner booking for 10
Ordered, drinks, entry mains and dessert.
Suitable for vegetarians. The vegan menu is very limited however staff are able to switch up items on request.
It took 20mins for us to be seated (we booked in advance) was hard to get a staff member to take our order to start with, following this it was 45min to get our food. The manager then offered flat breads on the house, we were very hungry and got 2 flat bread for the whole table of 10. Moving forward, meals arrived together and they checked on the food after we had a chance to dig in.
The food portions I felt were on the smaller side however my colleagues were happy with their portions.
Overall extremely happy with what we received over all courses.
The atmosphere was very busy, as expected on a Friday night.
The venue feels like it needs a bit more spacing. The outside area can be cold in winter as they have a sliding door that is let open by patrons.
Toilets are clean and well taken care of.
Parking is limited street parking is available.
Flavoursome, fresh and absolutely worth every dollar and some. Friendly and helpful staff. Polite and kind. The Lamb Gyro and Chicken Zouvlaki were delicious beyond words! Thank you for making my 5th Wedding anniversary extra special.
Yummy food! Love the pizza and pasta!! 😋Better make a reservation in advance.
Fantastic service, food and a warm friendly atmosphere. I always make sure to stop by El Greco when I’m in town visiting family.
