About the Business
Welcome to Venosa, a charming Italian establishment located in the heart of Kingsland, Auckland. As soon as you step through our doors on New North Road, you will be greeted by our friendly hosts and embraced by the comforting aromas of home-cooked Italian cuisine.
At Venosa, we pride ourselves on bringing the taste of Southern Italy to New Zealand. Our recipes have been lovingly passed down through generations, originating from our founders' Nona, who hails from the picturesque town of Venosa. This connection to our Italian roots ensures that every dish we serve is authentic and full of flavor.
Indulge in traditional Italian delights such as Arancini, crispy and golden on the outside with a creamy risotto filling, or Melanzane Fritte, perfectly fried eggplant slices topped with a rich tomato sauce and melted cheese. For a truly satisfying main course, try our Rigatoni with nonna's slow-cooked pork ragu. The tender meat and rich sauce are a match made in culinary heaven.
To complement your meal, we offer a carefully curated selection of silky smooth wines. Our knowledgeable staff can guide you in choosing the perfect pairing to enhance your dining experience. Whether you prefer a bold red or a refreshing white, we have something to suit every palate.

Reviews
"We were the first table to arrive at the dinner, and the food was delightful and authentic. Despite there being only one lady serving the entire restaurant at that time, she was really nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend coming again for more pasta."
"Lovely restaurant - have been here a couple times now so feel qualified to leave a good rating. Food is great, they do my favourite garlic bread in all of Auckland and the tiramisu comes highly recommended. Staff are friendly and attentive, and the whole place has a lovely, warm atmosphere. Definitely a great place for a night out."
"A little gem in Kingsland. Delicious Italian food, every mouthful was spot on. It’s a very small restaurant but the food and service is really good. Our knowledgeable waitress was passionate about the food she helps cook. The Italian and Spanish red wine we ordered was lovely and smooth, we polished off two bottles with a table of 4. And they were playing Italian music, helped with the ambience. Will be back again."
"Amazing place, really kind staff and cozy home vibe, great tasting italian food if you’re looking for traditional cooking with a twist, and very decent pricing too!"
"Great food, great service! I got the gnocchi in truffle cream and my partner got the meatball pasta. Mama Mia! I looove the truffle cream so much I ordered a serving of garlic bread to mop up the cream. The meatballs taste like they are made in house and not frozen store bought ones. We also ordered the crumbed eggplant for our entrée. Omg, I never knew eggplant could taste like this! The manager on duty, Mamta, really completed the entire experience. She made us feel right at home with her superb service."
