Our verdict

This family-owned osteria, in a rural town between Te Puke and Rotorua, is a true destination. Call in for a deliciously Italian-inspired brunch or lunch, with dinner on Friday and Saturdays. Expect some genuine artisan-made pasta dishes inspired by the owner Simone Saglia early life growing up on the family estate in Piemonte, the rural heart of Italy’s Langhe region.
