    I have traveled the world and have been in many Italian restaurants. Quite ironic to find one of the best I've ever been on a little Pacific island. The pasta "al dente", the sauces delicious and being served by friendly staff made my visit a really pleasant experience. And if you happen to love sea food this place will beat any restaurant in Italy anyway since the Mediterranean Sea is almost fished empty. Indulge authentic Italian cuisine!

    Very friendly and restaurant beautifully set up . We enjoyed our meal and recommend. Staff very friendly with quick service I chose a pesto spaghetti with chicken. Not to heavy and enjoyed as I'm not into creamy sauces

    The Margherita pizza was sweet and the tomato wasn't rich in flavour. Apple crumble was nice, there were other fruits in there which made it more tasty. Not a fan of having whipped cream on the side of the ice-cream desserts though. Good for what it is. Just the tastes strays a bit off from authentic Italian.

    We ordered the seafood marinara pasta, seafood pizza with a thick crust and the tiger prawns! The pizza was so delicious the seafood flavours were there and it was done so perfectly, pasta was good also very tasty and the tiger prawns were amazing! The let down was that they were out of stock of some of the seafood so we fully couldn’t order what we wanted and was abit restricted. Other than that, was satisfied.

    Our meals were so tasty. I had vegetarian fettuccine and my partner had spaghetti and meatballs. Very nice indeed. One thing was when our drinks were finished they took the glasses away but didn't ask if we wanted another.

    As somebody who enjoys a good pasta dish, I was very excited when I heard about the Spagetti House. This spot had come recommended to us by our resort maintenance man, and he spoke very highly of it, and with good reason! The restaurant was a quick wall from our resort so off we went. Starting the meal with a couple of cocktails (as you do!!) We were well prepared for our mains. My wife ordered the crab and prawn ravioli and I had the Chicken Fettuccine. Well, what more can I say than yummy! The pasta was cooked al dente, perfect. Each had its own delicious sauce, which was cooked nicely. Creamy and tasty. The pictures don't quite do us justice, but this was one of the finest Italian meals I have ever had, and it was in Rarotonga. Next visit to the islands will definitely include a night at the Spagetti House.

    Absolutely loved it here. Great menu, and cocktails. Chicken Calzone was full of flavour and hubby loved the lasagne

    We ordered garlic bread, chicken pizza and mozzarella pizza. The chicken was not cooked properly and it was very chewy. We felt quality of chicken and cheese is very poor

    Literally the BEST pizzas I have ever had the pleasure of eating since in my entire life... and my parents once owned a pizzeria!! Everything about these pizzas was incredible. The base... holy moly, incredible. The toppings, plentiful. The taste... the cheese... just heaven. Whoever made these pizzas, you are talented and please don't ever change the recipe because we travel to Rarotonga ever year and stay at the Edgewater every time. We'll be back, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! 😍😍😍😍😍

    I had the rib eye steak perfectly cook as i order. My sister had the egplant parmesan wich was perfect also. Staff was really cool and always smiling. If you are in Raro and look for italian food, the Spaghetti house is your place.

    Disappointing in a word. Arrived and requested a table for four, they looked around and said they couldn’t fit us in so we asked if we could take away. After 10mins of watching, we noticed the restaurant still remained half empty and suggested we’d be in and out quickly. So they seated us and when we offered order straight away to make it quicker for them, we were ignored. We ordered maybe 10 mins or so later. Seafood pizza was okay (added anchovies was in the bill but not the pizza). Crab and prawn ravioli was actually surimi and 2 prawns - no sign of crab meat. Chicken fettuccini was okay. Garlic bread was… hamburger buns with butter and garlic aioli on the side?! Pina Colada was undrinkable, sent it back. I don’t even know what was in it, but it was beyond awful. One star says it all.

    Poor customer service with no interaction… Food with zero Italian influences, overloaded with Garlic does not make it Italian. Staff training is definitely needed Do not waste your hard earned cash in this eatery

    Out for dinner with family. Great service and amazing food.

    People, from the moment we stepped through the door for an evening dinner we were treated to a warm welcoming, smiling, friendly experience by the very attentive staff. With an extensive food & beverage menu, we chose the chicken fettuccine which was absolutely divine in a beautifully, flavoured creamy sauce. The lovely decor with the easy listening background paino music made for a very relaxing ambience. Debateably one of the best value for money restaurants on Raro. Highly recommended.

    I have never left a review for anything so first time and I’m sorry it can’t be positive. My partner and I came in for a meal and we walked in happy spirits as we usually are - It was about 5pm and I asked the lady at front of the house, hello, what time do you guys open for dinner? (The restaurant was empty, so wasn’t sure they were open yet) She looked at me with a cold expression on her face and said “do you have a reservation?” So basically answered my question, with a question! No I don’t have a reservation (hence why I’m asking what time you open) she then replies you don’t need one anyway and takes us to a table. Pretty much seemed like being rude for no apparent reason. We bought a meal for takeaway and left that place as fast as possible. The vibe while waiting for our meal wasn’t nice either, it seemed we were unwanted and very un invited. We were left feeling unhappy and confused as to why she was rude for no reason. We are such happy people it was just a disappointment to our evening. A prime example on how to NOT conduct customer service

    Only had a takeaway but boy, it was delicious! Chicken/mushroom, served with rice, $12! Had a beer while we waited, equally tasty. Owner is fastidious about his (beer) lines, ice cold and delightful on the palate. Couldn't fault it!

👍👍 A truly special place. Stunning location with views out beyond the reef - the whales put on a good show. We had the seafood platter, which was packed with excellent quality elements all cooked to perfection and beautiful fresh oysters. Lovely staff to top it off.

👍👍 We ended up arriving to the Kikau hut very late almost shut-down without a booking so I asked the question if we could still dine in which they were happy to re open the restaurant for us. And let me tell you the food was amazing. I recommend trying the seafood chowder. One of the best I've tried!!...

👍👍 If you have any doubts, then please don’t! It is the best place on Rarotonga we had a dinner in. And we reaped it 6 times during our 10 days trip there. We loved everything what we tried: fish, steak, seafood and every dessert 🍨
