Group of 5 - highlight dishes were the cabonara, chicken Alfredo, seafood pizza and the calamari. All were full of flavour, cheesy and huge portions. We were stuffed. Great food and nice servers!
I must say had a wonderful experience what an ambience , customer service , abd trust me our veg pizza was super delicious , we never had that delicious pizza before in Nz overall its must eat place in rotorua. Thanks to they boy who served us i can only identify him cz of his different nepali hairstyle. Thanks dude. ❤️
Can be mistaken as Peroni Italia, it’s the same place. Service is amazing and food is authentic Italian. I was pretty mad at the Pig & Whistle service before coming here and they made up for it 5 times over.
New Zealand vacation day 3 - went down to Eatery Street to look for a place to have dinner. My sons wanted to try Italian.
Place was busy but they had room for us inside.
Service was a bit slow but food was good. Especially the mussels. Atmosphere was lively and staff very friendly.
Really nice place with a great selection of Italian food, friendly helpful staff and decent beer. Between us we had the Lobster and Prawn Ravioli, Seafood chowder, Prawn Risotto chips and Garlic bread. All were very nice and filling. Desserts were also good.
Family night out. Good service, and good food. Good value . Loved the deserts, tasty. Thank you
We showed up without reservation at 6:45 pm. Gentleman working front handled things well. He explained we could get a table but may be 45 to 50 minutes before our food would come. That was fine with us and we enjoyed a glass of wine and ordered bruschetta. The bruschetta was a mix or tomato and olive and we would have preferred it to be one or the other. Gnocchi was good and the lamb was delicious. I would eat that lamb anytime.
Staff was all hard working and seemed to work as a team. Good experience

We’ve waited a long time to go to a nice Italian restaurant and we were not disappointed by this visit. Highly recommend if staying in Rotorua to enjoy a lunch/dinner here.
I just wish they did a pasta dish with arrabbiata sauce. We had the freshly made crayfish and prawn ravioli which looked amazing and you could really taste the crayfish. Pasta was al dente but crayfish was a bit dry for my liking and I would have loved more extra virgin olive oil for the dressing, they promptly provided some on request. Highly recommend ordering the scallops starter alongside this dish, superbly cooked! Not a dish to miss if you like seafood. And the broccolini side gives the dish a fresh bite. 2 very complimentary plates.
The deserts are most definitely worthwhile to order, although I was rather disappointed that they ran out of tiramisu as this was one of the main reasons we chose this restaurant to dine in for our last night in Rotorua, I’m sure it would have been beautiful with the espresso martini I ordered.
All the dishes that we saw looked 5 star quality, the oysters looked great and so did the steak. We also ordered the calamari for starters and the al fungi pizza to take home which we was delicious.
Overall, 5 star is for the very good hospitality and Italian edge. Thank you, I look forward to the tiramisu the next time we visit!
Busy, lots of Indian staff….friendly. Fast service, fabulous vegetarian food and an amazing limoncello tiramisu 😍
Highly recommend Leonardos. We had a friendly welcome, prompt and great service. We ordered 2 pizzas, and they were delicious! The base wasn't 100% a traditional wood fired pizza base where it goes all bubbly on the edges, and hubby said his was a little too thick, but they were still super tasty. We had a small side salad too which was yum, but quite small. Asked for the salad nuts on the side for me to add to mine as my husband is allergic and they were happy to accommodate. I got a strawberry margarita and it was delicious! Husband asked for a drink with no ice, but it came with ice. Which later when he mentioned they brought him one on the house. Overall a great dinner and fantastic, friendly service. We would definitely go back!
