Caffe E Cucina

As an Italian, the food was completely underwhelming, the pasta noodles were extremely hard and although they looked hand made, I wish it were cooked a little while longer to be easier to chew. The veggie risotto was okay, but the veggies were also extremely hard and I felt as if there were so many veggies it overwhelmed the flavors of he risotto. The safest dish was the pizza as it was thin crusted and well made compared to the rest of the dishes. The customer service is impeccable, quick and kind staff. The experience was overall good but the food is not what I was expecting with so many stars.

I went for coffee and dessert. The dessert was Yum!. Nice atmosphere and settings

Very nice environment with welcoming staff and lots of food options. The flavors were amazing and the portions were good, will definitely come back!

Disappointing :/ used to come here quite a bit but haven’t been for a good 12 months and maybe they’ve changed chefs ‍ in any case the food is pretty average now - a lot less flavour and not balanced. Service was average - they were busy w takeaways but we got hardly any service and basic stuff like replacing the empty water bottles or offering more drinks just didn’t happen. Not really worth the price anymore…will stick w El Greco in future even though it’s a much longer drive

Best Italian restaurant in Auckland., High quality everything - from the paper on the menu, to the wine list and decor. This is a hard place to fault. They take care of your little ones and make you feel like family. Highly recommend this place thanks to Ish and the brother Steve. You guys make the place. Thanks again for another great night
