Lil Ragú

Italian restaurant

👍👍 Wow! If you think you’re just going to get “food truck food” then guess again. One of the nicest, most fresh and incredibly tasty Italian dishes I’ve ever had. The starters are amazing, the pasta is next level, and the tiramisu is the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Francesca's Pizzeria

Italian restaurant

😠 Ordered a Francesca’s choice wood fried pizza was told it would be ready in 30 mins- however had to wait 45mins. The website menu reflected the pizza price being $24 yet i was charged $27.50, i was told paywave costs had been added, which works out just under 15% paywave fee (a little excessive and...

San Marco Trattoria & Bar

Italian restaurant

👍👍 Online booking was easy and a lady phoned the day before to confirm the booking. I was pleasantly surprised as I didn’t know what to expect. The restaurant is a great addition to North Shore.

La Rosa Restaurant

Italian restaurant

👍👍 Lovely staff and fantastic food. I went to La Rosa to celebrate my birthday and it was totally worth it. Being a foodie, I have tried and tasted at most of the Italian restaurants and have found La Rosa to be one of the best. The slow cooked lamb is a must have. Would definitely come back! Keep up...

Volare Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria

Restaurant

👍 Had birthday dinner in this place last week. Staff are all friendly and attentive. We loved the formaggio pizza, penne volare and breaded chicken. Fettucine al pollo is a little bland to me, but the chicken was cooked to perfection! All in all it was a good experience.

Umu Pizza

Pizza restaurant

👍 Service here was 5/5 in being accommodating with our newborn in a car seat and the staff was very friendly. However it was pretty busy and felt slightly forgotten at times.

Mamma Rosa Pizzeria Restaurant

Italian restaurant

👍 I think the "most Italian" place you will be able to find in East Auckland. Very close to the beach, low-key simple (exactly how Italian suppose to be) honest good restaurant. Portions are big, we all couldn't even finish our meals. Prices very reasonable for the location. Great wine. Better to mak...

Goode Brothers

Italian restaurant

😠 Tonight my family and I went and the food was extremely bland. It was very fast which was great but don’t go for speed over flavour, it’s never worth it. I’m giving a 1 star based off of my meal alone. I ordered the brisket pizza pocket. And I swear this ain’t brisket. It tasted like chicken, looke...
