The overall experience of Barolo was 5 star and nothing less of what is expected from the Langham.
The service was friendly, informative but not overbearing.
The food was outstanding, the attention to detail of every single dish ordered was just exquisite.
The menu has appeared to change and I was delighted with the dishes blend of unique flavors which created an overall Italian modern feel. I had the Beef for my main, the beef was tender and cooked perfectly surrounded by a bed of lovely potatoes which complemented the dish beautifully.
I would recommend trying a few entrees as the selection is vast and all are very different.
We shared a selection of all the desserts and the presentation of these, yet again, didn’t fail to impress. They were all very different in flavor, texture and appearance but all tasted like heaven.
I would advise you book in advance as this restaurant can get busy.

I had dinner with some friends here a couple of nights ago and we had simply, the best night.

The staff were very funny, friendly and accomodating.

The food was divine! A very unique combination of food that was mouth watering. I left feeling so satisfied. I’ll be craving this food in the week to come without a doubt.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere as well, peaceful and relaxed it was an amazing night and I would definitely recommend to others.

I had a dinner at Barolo tonight with a few of my friends and it was absolutely devine!

I definately enjoyed the main that I ordered. The steak was very soft and mouthwatering. Each component of the dish worked together perfectly and complemented each other well. The entree tiramisu was a great mixture of flavours, something that surprised me with its unique texture and taste. The dessert was very refreshing and a great finish to our meal.

Staff was friendly and I loved the atmosphere of the place.
Overall, I was very pleased with my meal and the service . The experience was spectacular and I will recommend anyone to dine here.

Good job, Barolo!

Having dined at Barolo two years ago, and been recommending it ever since, we were disappointed last night. The basically simple but beautifully conceived and cooked dishes we enjoyed last time had been replaced by over-complex food design, with textures and flavours that did not always work together, at least in the dishes my partner and I chose. There are many good things about this restaurant – not the least of which is the low noise level so rare in Auckland – but we left less than satisfied that we had chosen the right place for an expensive celebratory dinner.

Barolo was amazing, there were 4 of us and we all had different starters, they were great and well flavoured. Onto the mains, the venison dish was very very good, not a usual pick but when your at a 5 star hotel you do try out different meals. After the mains my wife and I shared a desert, the mains were as good as i was told and wine matched by the waitress was also good. Staff were very attentive and knew the history of the chefs background and his dishes. Overall if you want a romantic evening with someone or keen to impress people, then i thoroughly recommend Barolo

I recently had dinner at Barolo with friends to celebrate a Birthday.
Lovely dinner , nice atmosphere, perfect for private conversation without sharing “secrets”with the table next to yours.
Try the Ravioli, they are to die for!
Thanks for the enjoyable experience,we will be back!

We dined here last night and were very impressed, right from when we first booked and we were asked if it was for a special occasion (it was – our wedding anniversary). When we arrived for our 7.30pm booking, the maitre d’ was really polite and friendly and escorted us to a private corner table. The service was impeccable, the decor/feel of the restaurant was luxurious and the menu extensive. We each ordered an apertiser (steamed beef and carpaccio), primi piatti (lobster gnocchi and duck tagliatelle) and secondi (kingfish and eye fillet) and were very impressed with the strong flavours and immaculate presentation. Portion sizes were excellent and we were comfortably full, so couldn’t quite manage dessert (although the menu looked delicious). Another thoughtful touch was the complimentary chocolate platter that arrived with “Happy Anniversary” piped in chocolate. Overall, a fantastic, romantic dinner and we would definitely recommend Barolo for any occasion.

Arrived at 7.25 pm told were couldn’t take our seats until allotted time of 7.30. Had to wait in lobby. Not a positive start. Strange decor, somewhat Vegas meats Sun City, South Africa. Starter was ok, we had meat platters. Platters went down well. Starters were not cleared away correctly at end of course and the knives and dirty side plates remained.

Mains were not so good, between our group we had the Fish, Beef and Venison. Portions were tiny and presentation was average at best. one of our steaks was badly over cooked. My friend complained and was told it would be 15 mins for a new one. 15 mins?? I can cook one myself in 10 minutes and these chefs are professionals. My friend had to wait as the rest of us ate. No updates on the wait for the steak. My friend finally got his order after we had all finished.

Deserts were very poor, the Panzarotte is horrible. Tastes like cold pasta covered in nasty cheap chocolate sauce. Not nice. In fact the two people who ordered this didn’t finish it. The Semifreddo was nice, but tiny and overpriced. Its just frozen cream with a sprig on top.

Would I recommend…No. Would I go back… No. This is meant to be a “top hotel”, but clerly is deluded and I have dined in much nicer places in Europe and Africa.

Barolo you need to up your game.

Beautifully quiet and intimate ambiance – a restaurant where you DON’T feel like you are having dinner with the people at the table next to you. And swags of sound absorbing fabric – such a wonderful change from most cafes with noisy, modern hard furnishings that make everyone have to shout to hear each other. The service was attentive, informative but not condescending. And the food – well, simple conceptions, cooked to perfection, and a butter knife cut the steak. Every mouthful and minute a pleasure.

9 out of 10.. Great changes to this restaurant.. Very impressed with the food and wine, service was a little pushy though. A suitable restaurant for the impressive Langham hotel so about time

we went recently to the Barolo and we were really impressed with the menu after it has changed, menu now is has more comfy food, it used to be quite complicated and not so tasty, but now its cheaper & more fine dining with flavorful dishes.
the service was very friendly & professional and the wine list was very impressive. some of finest wines ..

we would definitely go back more often since they have changed to Barolo… well done!
