The place has a relaxed ambience to it. The staff are energetic, friendly and are really accommodating. The food is amazing with a good serving portion. I've been here a few times and this has been my favourite Italian restaurant since my first visit. I'm more than willing to drive the 50km 1-way drive just to visit this place again.
SCORE: 85/100nnI saw that Due Amici had a lot of positive reviews in Google, so I gave this a go. Booked a day before for two and had no problems. They were extremely busy, which reflects their ratings clearly. Had their signature pizza, which was great and a pasta dish I forget the name of. Both were great. I would definitely go back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend.
Best meal of the year so far! We walked past plenty of times in 2024 and tried to get in and couldn't. This time we booked in advance and it was well worth it! Thanks for a great entree, main and desert. One of manly's best kept secrets!
Beautiful Italian meal for my wife for a delayed Valentines Day. As soon as we entered we were warmly greeted by the awesome staff. For starters we had garlic bread that was divinely light and filled a large plate followed by my wife having cannelloni and I had spaghetti all mama mia. The food was plentiful and tasted amazing followed by gelato to finish. The service throughout was superb. If you’re in the area and want Italian you need to visit Due Amici
I visited this place during my trip to Auckland, NZ for my honeymoon with my just married -wife. The first impression I was given when I walk through the door was warmly greeting staffs and nice and well-organized cozy interior that made the place worth spending that evening with my loved-one. The lady at the counter guided us to the table kindly and all other staffs were caring as well as attentive! We ordered Linguine Di Mare and Linguine con Gamberi since my wife and I always crave for fresh seafood pasta. We were a bit worried about the freshness of the seafood because we didn’t want our lifetime-trip ruined by any chance of food-poisoning. However, the very first taste of the pasta made all our worries disappear. The seafood as well as the pasta demonstrated a great freshness ever. Moreover, the portion of the food implied how well this business respect and treat their customers, ensuring their customers leave the restaurant with fully satisfied stomach with happy faces. Also this authentic restaurant has a wide variety of selection on the menu so anyone can bring their loved-ones anytime especially on a special occasion. Not only were the staff and the food friendly and kind, but one of the customers in the restaurant came to us and gave my wife a friendly words. Due Amici was an unforgettable memorable experience that I would remember for the rest of my life even if I go back to my home-country, Korea. I would strongly recommend this place to anybody in NZ! No regrets! Definitely go back if any chance given for me to visit Auckland again someday.
