Our verdict

Tucked away in an alley, this welcoming osteria has been serving traditional Italian fare crafted from premium seasonal Kiwi ingredients since 2014. The Italian chef fashions a menu that encompasses regional specialities from across his homeland, including house-made pasta, sausages, sauces and bread. The food is delicious, down-to-earth and authentically Italian. His ricotta and sage ravioli is a priority and the basilico sauce is loaded in savoury depth.
