Reviews
"Good food in a pleasant atmosphere but perhaps a little stingy on the toppings on my seafood pizza. In terms of service one member of our table was brought the wrong main and although this was quickly rectified it did mean that we had all started eating before him. Overall however a good night that was enjoyed by all there. Would return for another meal."
"Awesome experience… must try tiramisu.. one of the best ones I have tried so far in Auckland…"
"Great service and very friendly staff ! But the pizza was burnt. From the first bite it tasted bad and relaxed that it was all burnt when we flipped it. It was really bad."
"Went to Gusto Italiano for a spontaneous dinner with family. I ordered the Gnocconi Ripieni 2 pieces which was like two large cheese filled pasta things - they were good for me since I recently got braces so I can only eat soft food. They were very tomatoey, tasted healthy, not exactly what I look for in a meal but that’s my fault for not reading the menu properly. Overall, the dish was pretty good. Then I tried every other persons at the tables dish so read below. My Mum got Gnocchi De Zucca which was a Pumpkin-type Gnocchi. Hers was pretty good as well, like mine it was really tomatoey-saucy. Didn’t love it but again, not my preference. One of the people we were with ordered the Pesco Del Giorno AKA Fish of the Day. The fish was snapper and it was served alongside some roast vegetables. Definitely my favourite among the dishes, the fish tasted quite fresh. I really enjoyed it. Didn’t try the vegetables but they looked yum. He finished his plate. We all did to be fair. Good sign ;) The other person we were with ordered Pollo Alla Senape Main. Which was a chicken dish with sauce on top and something on the side that I can’t quite remember. That was a pretty good chicken, the sauce was kind of sweet and the chicken was cooked well, not dry at all. The staff themselves were great, super helpful, had a one-year old with us who was over tired and hysterical but they did there best to help us, sorry to the other customers if you were there tonight. The interior was also quite nice, nice mood lighting, the tables and chairs were a bit crowded inside, not much room to walk around but not unusual for a restaurant so that’s understandable. The restaurant sits on the main road, therefore quite a good area.d"
