SPQR
About the Business
Welcome to SPQR, an iconic establishment located at 150 Ponsonby Road in Auckland, New Zealand. As a renowned restaurant and point of interest, SPQR offers a unique experience that combines the vibrant atmosphere of Rome with the beauty of Auckland.
At SPQR, you can enjoy a delightful meal or simply relax with a snack or drink. Whether you choose to sit outside with a crisp white tablecloth or inside the front door in the portico, you will be able to witness the lively ebb and flow of people and traffic on Ponsonby Road. During the summer, you can savor the long, languid evenings on the pavement, while in winter, the glow of candles and the warmth of the fireplace create a cozy ambiance.
One of the things that sets SPQR apart is its ability to bring people together. It's not uncommon to see someone you know wandering past, and you can easily invite them to join you for a glass of wine or a delicious meal. Since its inception, SPQR has been a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike, offering reliably good food and a diverse and splendid crowd.
Recently, something remarkable has happened at SPQR. The space has retained its special charm, with an Alice in Wonderland quality that makes you feel like you've stepped into a slightly otherworldly place. However, there has been a shift, an evolution that has made SPQR even more extraordinary. The Italian red wine has transformed from classic to sublime, and the food has gone from really nice to utterly delicious.
If you find yourself in Auckland and appreciate quirky people, romantic settings, exquisite red wines, and authentic Italian cuisine, SPQR is the place to be. We are open seven days a week from 12 pm until late, and our full menu is available for lunch from 12 to 3 pm and for dinner from 5 pm until late. Please note that on public holidays, such as Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year's Day, SPQR will be closed.
Come and experience SPQR, the Italian Pizza Pasta Restaurant that has become a true gem in Ponsonby, Auckland. Embrace the magic, indulge in the flavors, and create unforgettable memories at SPQR.

"I’ve seen plates of baby food larger than this main pasta dish. Pasta wasn’t cooked through, my wife’s lasagna was also a baby sized main. Absolutely appalled as we’ve been here in the past and the portion sizing has just become super small. Overall a lunch for 2 people just under $70 and both left hungry, Never again….."
"Sunday night for dinner, loved it, great couple vibe as well as family vibe. Everything was so good, loved the snapper and my husband ate the rib eye ( for two) all by himself. Starters so yummy especially the bread and scallops ( OMG order two of these). My daughter loved the cocktails. Wine menu was extensive and dessert really good. I have just booked a family celebration there in Oct. It was especially refreshing to have really good staff and service, attitude and food such a novelty now at some places. Book a table now you won't regret it."
"Everything we ordered tasted great, but the highlight goes to the scampi linguine and tiramisu! Also liked how the focaccia came with multiple sauces and eye fillet carpaccio was topped with truffle oil. Can't forget the great service too! And don't forget a torch if you struggle with seeing in low light..."
"No, No, No. The place is very nice with great vibe and cute bartenders, and the flavours were amazing - So why not? the portions where tiny , especially if you consider the price. This does not work for me. A main dish with half a chicken breast and one broccolini... starter with 3 miniature scallops...sorry , but no. If you have too much money to spend and not particularly hungry, then it's a grate place for you. I will say that they had one of the best Tiramisu I've ever had :)"
