Sal Rose

We had a large group to celebrate a birthday, including kids. Sal Rose function room was perfect for our group, the wait staff was super friendly, especially with the kids. The service was fast for a group that size and the food was delicious. Kid-friendliness: The staff was extremelly feiendly with our kids.

Appalled from start to finish. Friends have dined here over the years and have noted the great cocktails ,food, service and atmosphere. Unfortunately the experience I had here recently was rather the opposite. Espresso Martinis were served improperly in a wine glass. The taste was as good as it looked. I'm in belief it was an instant coffee with a dash of vodka. It was the most watered down, milkshake like cocktail I've tasted. Extremely disappointed considering this is a central Auckland restaurant with central Auckland prices. On the note of prices, my table requested a cake... which we later found out each individual plate was charged an extra $4.90 for half a scoop of ice cream. A charge that wasn't implied when suggested by the owner, David. For a restaurant that claims to be serving genuine Italian food, it was extremely below average. I can't say that I personally, will be dining here again; a shame for a small business that could provide plenty of potential.

We had an amazing family birthday dinner here. The food was fantastic with lots of delicious gluten free options, the service was phenomenal second to none and the wine suggestions were perfect. Going the extra mile and birthday-afying the birthday boy's dessert was unexpected and very much appreciated.Food: 5/5

Great restaurant, Host service is outstanding, not our first visit. the detailed menu description from the owner again was appreciated, and wine match made us feel we were valued, and best of all the food was as described absolutely Devine! Great value. We will be back.

I came for Dinner last with two friends and even though we had to wait for a Table my bad in that I maybe should of booked as it was busy for Sunday the Service and the food was delicious as it always is here. We were checked in on to ask how we liked the food as well. The Manager kept Apologising for the wait but as we were up at the Bar didn't mind too much and it was only around 20minutes wait anyway. As we were leaving the Manager offered us a wee drink of Lemoncelo Liqueur which was a nice touch for waiting. All in all a very positive experience with Service top notch as always. Will definitely come again. Regards, Ian Davies.

The best place for pesto pasta. We always come here just for the fettuccine pollo even if it’s just takeaway. The food itself is sometimes different ie amount of mushroom, different size chicken but the in house made pesto is what tops it off! We always grab some extra chips to dunk it into the pesto sauce. Staff are always friendly and accommodating

Five star for service! The food was good, it gets the thumbs up from my grandson so must have been good . But I would have given the food alone Couple of good options in the vegetarian pizza but not much to choose from if you were hungry for pasta. Still was a nice meal and not too expensive.

Returned after 5 years and still the same. Casual and cosy. Pleasant staff. Delicious dinner. Menu had changed slightly. Spaghetti meatballs no longer on menu.

Got the chicken fettuccine. $30 for 3 small mouth fulls and it was almost cold. Managers service was awesome but the waitress brought my company’s main out with no plates! As they were sharing. Asked for plates and salt and she never came back. Had to go up and ask for them!!! very below par experience. Gonna go pakn save now and get 2 weeks worth of pasta for $30

Wow what an amazing atmosphere. Food was on point and staff looked after us to the highest order. 25 of us for dinner and customer serivce didnt falter. Beautiful food. So good.
