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.

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...

Coco's Cantina

Italian restaurant

🫤 Our pizza was burnt. Not just charred but it was literally bitter and burnt. The jalapenos didn't suit the pizza at all, and they say there's nduja in it but there wasn't any.
