Top 30 Best Italian restaurant in Tauranga

“totally worth it, been to rotorua on this weekend had a pork belly as a entree , it was so juicy and soft. In the mains i had a lamb rump Medium rare with some mushroom sauce,Cooked perfectly I would say was the best meat in NZ. My friends had Venison and Tomahawk steak they were completely satisfied too. Restaurant also have a peace and calming atmosphere. Its actually perfect place for a date with your loved ones. Overall 10/10”

“SO GOOD. Only got pictures of the desserts because we inhaled the dumplings and chicken tikka - the desserts were just too pretty to not take photos!! The chicken tikka was so elegantly presented and the combo of rice, chips, tzatziki, and mango chutney was to die for. For dessert I had the raspberry pavlova and my partner had the fudge cookie. Both were excellent - this place absolutely annihilates some of the other options directly around it.”

“These people deserve more love! The food was great and very reasonably priced (especially compared to anything on Eat Street). The Don burger I got was juicy and piled with toppings with a nicely toasted brioche bun. Service was great too, and very friendly. Give it a shot, I doubt you'll be disappointed.”

“Amazing food last night! We got the platter for two and it was bloody delicious. It was the perfect spot to watch the rugby and we will be coming back often. This is defs becoming our local spot to watch the rugby. The server who had her arm in a brace and barb wire tattoo on her arm was honestly amazing. Such a good server and incredibly friendly. Just the perfect person to have on your team. Thanks for a good night!”

“One of the best pizza’s I’ve ever had! Totally different style to basically everywhere else you could think of. The base is delicious… almost like a crumpet! So yum. Love the no frills vibe. Who needs extra fluff when you could have the best pizza ever. Grab a cold beer there while you’re at it!”

“The food here is great! 10/10 would definitely go back if in the area again. The atmosphere was a bit lacking, but to be fair we visited at the very start of a weekday lunch service so probably not the fairest time to assess that properly. I've eaten at their spot in Ohakune too and again the food was yum.”

“100% the best place to stay in Tauranga! From check in to check out the place was unique but relaxing. Daniella was the whole vibe of the hotel and restaurant. Food wine, wine and cocktails were amazing but the positive energy Daniella and her team brought added to the overall experience. We stayed in the king exec room, it was very spacious, the decor, bed overall styling was all on point. Bathroom double sink amazing shower 10/10. Only place we will stay from now on.”

“If you want the real deal, with exquisite authentic Italian flavour and hospitality, you MUST come here. The service, the atmosphere and most of all the food, is nothing short of spectacular. Great wine, cocktail and beer selection. The food took us straight back to Itlay, and we left with huge smiles on our faces! We definitely will be back and recommend this place highly!!”

“So happy we stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant during our stay in Rotorua last year. It easily became the dining highlight of our trip and we promised we'd eat in anytime we found ourselves in, or traveling through, Rotorua. The bruschetta could have us coming back on it's own, but the excellent stone/wood fired pizza just seals the deal. The restaurant has a classic small family owned feel and the dine in service just solidifies that. I'm looking forward to our next visit. I'd love see an expanded restaurant menu in the future, some Italian pasta dishes would be *chefs kiss"”

“Decided to give this place a try , wow the pizzas were beautiful, heaps of toppings . We were a bit early picking them up so the guy gave my husband a beer while he was waiting. We will definitely be back”

“An awesome place with excellent food and friendly attentive staff. They have the best cocktails and their pizza as well as sides are delicious. Definately worth a visit”

“Their scrambled eggs are delicious. Seasoned well, eggs have a bit of color to them, which I like. It's pleasant around 730am for sunrise if a nice morning.”

“Delicious breakfast wid lots of fresh muffins, cones ,muesli bar and some wraps. And they do dinner as well .. Must try sea food platter which i love it I am Ocean lover and love to have fish and chips most of the days”

“I've been to Reboubt outlets three times in three places - all random visits - all very satisfying. The brand is reliable. The Strand was great. When I arrived, both the waitresses introduced themselves by name which really impressed me. Haven't seen that from hospitality staff in years! The eye fillet was perfect and big enough that I didn't need to order sides. The chef knows what he/ she is doing. The staff were attentive and genuine when they checked on me. That was appreciated. Thankyou for a nice meal.”

“This is one of the best cafes I have visited , food was brilliant, large servings and all cooked to perfection, coffee great and staff excellent. Place was pumping on a Sunday morning but all food came out at the same time as did the coffees . Had to pop back for a sweet treat a few hours later. Highly recommend.”

“Had a fun dining experience, was middle of the day on a Monday but there was a few people around. I’d recommend it if you are in the area, tons of different options and parking is easily accessible.”

“Decent pizza, fresh and hot. Good service. Reasonable price”

“We came to this restaurant at least 8 years ago and had a very nice meal. We came back down for a visit and thought that we would try again. I have to say that the meal exceeded our expectations. My eye fillet was absolutely delicious and cooked just perfectly medium rare. My wife had a cabonara. We finished off with a creme brulee and a chocolate mud cake. The creme brulee was the best I have ever had, and best of all I had a pint of my favorite beer. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.”

“The best hospitality you could ask for, made my day”

“One excellent worker there ask for her karen.very friendly and excellent person.”

“It's a beautiful place and me and my friend really enjoyed eating there. The window seat looks out to the beach and it's lovely. It's very pet friendly and everyone was super sweet and nice. Highly recommend going if your looking for a place to chat and enjoy the view.”

“Great food, great price, great service. What more can you say”

“On behalf of myself, Barry and the other 2 members of the Stanley Avenue croquet club, we would like to offer our sincere gratitude for the top quality food and service we received. We will definitely recommend it to the rest of our club”

“Everything was cooked beautiful, the ribs were cooked perfectly and they weren't skimpy like most. The pizza was delicious, the lamb faaarrrkkk it was cooked beautiful defenitly recomend, the crust and base was nice and crispy but not too crispy it still had a little bend in it but it was still the perfect amount of crispness in it. The chips were lovely it had the right amount of salt and they weren't soggy they were nice and fresh. The cheesy garlic bread was the best I've tasted in ages knocked out dominos with one bite. And finally the jalapeno poppers to top it off them were the bomb buthaaaaa 2200 buthaaa thank yous for the lovely food me and my partner loved it.”

“Excellent!! Best pizza in neighborhood without doubt!! Have been a regular customer for almost 2 years. Never had a bad pizza coming out of their oven. Crispy crust with descent quantity of good quality toppings. Garlic bread combo is a must try. If you are a fan of indian food then go for the Tandoori Chicken pizza with Mayo topping (in the pic).”

“Orchard Thieves are the best pizza this side of town. Great value, lots of options and tasty. We are regulars. Always friendly service and fast!!”

“Love the food that comes from this pizza/burger joint is a go to for me as it’s very close to home good service and always exceptional quality food”
