Little Italy in Auckland

"Little gem in Wynyard Quarter with modern decor. They have tables to suit parties of different sizes. It does pay to book if in a large group. Great tasting pasta, with a variety to choose from. The pizzas are amazing too. Finish it off with some dessert. Excellent service and great atmosphere"

"I tried the pasta and pizza with friends. We were really surprised! The pizza crust was crispy and soft, and the pasta tasted incredible. The kitchen is open, so you can see that everything is fresh and homemade. We went there for dinner, but I saw that they offer a lunch menu for $15. Unfortunately, this restaurant is too far from my workplace, but I highly recommend it!"

"In our experience, almost the best outside Italy. The fresh pasta was divine and just the right amount of roast vegs and olives in the mix. The only letdown was the main course arriving when we were barely halfway through the entre. Pricing very reasonable."

"The service was fabulous, kind, friendly and so accommodating. The food was amazing. The Bufala Salad was a delicious treat."

"Little Italy is probably one of the most affordable Italian spots you’ll find in Auckland CBD—it’s been a long time since I’ve seen mains priced under $30. But don’t let the prices fool you: the dishes we had were made with fresh, good-quality ingredients, the portions were generous, and everything tasted pretty good. The pizza was a proper wood-fired one and definitely a must-order. We also tried the meatball salad (Pollo), which was surprisingly delicious—who knew meatballs and salad could work so well together? Service was fairly standard; the waitresses were a little forgetful, likely because they were very busy and the restaurant seemed slightly understaffed that night. Little Italy is also a bit tucked away since it’s not in the main Wynyard Quarter restaurant strip, but it’s well worth seeking out if you’re craving rustic Italian comfort food."

"The dishes are very delicious. And the afogato is amazing. The clerk is so nice. Thank you"

"To be honest, I didn't think much from the outside but I was completely wrong. The pizza was fluffy and wonderfully cooked in a stone oven. Pasta was great too, particularly the special with a creamy lemon sauce and shrimp. Small salad was a great size. Staff was lovely and friendly and the music was the perfect volume (not too loud) and lighting created a lovely vibe."

"Excellent place. Came here for the lunch take away, ended up coming back for dinner. Given the location and food quality I think the price is unbelievable reasonable. This place deserves more recognition. 100% Recommend the chicken salad, light but satisfying to the taste bud. Salmon pasta and Bolognese was very good as well."
