I bought a grabone voucher for this restaurant and have on several occasions tried to make a reservation, they seem to always be fully booked. The voucher is valid until the 29th of April and in spite of them being again fully booked, they refused to extend the voucher over its validity date and refused to restitute the money I paid for it.

It gives the strong impression that a grabone customer is an easy prey because they already have the money and it makes it easy for them just to say all the time “we are booked”.

EXCELLENT – We arrived back from Aus (Friday evening)and searched on Menu Mania for an Italian restaurant near the airport – this wasn’t near (16km) but that was the only issue.

Our booking was accepted eagerly and when we arrived – ’20 mins early – the place was packed – but they found us a table with no hassles – made us feel welcome, and took our drinks order quickly (we were parched and it must have shown).

Great menu, real simple but definitely Italian. The meal was served quickly and it was superb!!! Bruschetta – Papardelle Boscaiola and the Ravioli of the day (Cream Cheese) topped off with a Creme Brulee…and few glasses of vino!! Reminded me of my younger days in Turangi during the Italian hey day with El Burcio and Valentino’s – Really hit the spot.

The service was well above average despite the age of the staff and the gent who seemed to be running the show was a treasure. Nothing was a problem.

This place is well priced, unpretentious, provides good service, its decor simple and cosy, and it was well worth the 32 k round trip.

Many thanks – we will be back when in Auck next. I wish I had a restaurant like this in my neighbourhood….

Great wedding reception last night, food fantastic, staff attentive and friendly, venue clean and looked great. It was a fairly extensive menu for a wedding and I heard only compliments about the food. The timing was great too, all meals came out quickly to each table and we did not have too long between courses. Thanks so much to Richard and all Casa Tua staff. Great evening

It is always a concern to the vegetarian when the menu has one meat-free dish. Sometimes the assumption is that we don’t really care about what food tastes like, we just want it to be healthy.

Not me. I like a good, creamy concoction, and Casa Tua delivered in spades. Their solitary vege dish was very, very good – flavoursome and ample. My meat-eating companions were pleased, too, and the waitresses (obviously high school girls) were lovely. Recommended.

WOW What a great time and a great meal every time i go.
The pork Belly is awesome I’ve had a few times now and the pizza’s are always great.
only $5 corkage better than most places around and if you run out always great Italian wine behind the bar.

Thank you to the staff always friendly and attentive.

A highly recommended local will be back often.

My husband and I decided to try Casa Tua because it is a local restaurant which we didn’t know was there. We ordered an Antipasto for two to start. The platter was reasonably sized, and tasted pretty good. For mains, we ordered a Pork Belly and a Spaghetti di Mare. The pork was overcooked, so a bit on the tough side. The spaghetti was flavoursome but the mussels were quite undercooked. For dessert, we decided on a Tiramisu and a Home-made cheesecake. The tiramisu was excellent and the home-made cheesecake was also very good. All-in-all, I would return to Casa Tua again because the food, by large, was pretty good. It is a shame that the mains weren’t better otherwise we would have been back already. Hopefully, next time, the food will be great so we can justify making it one of our regular local restaurants.

The service was OK. The staff seemed inexperienced and unsure of when and how to approach diners. They were nice enough, but a bit awkward and quiet.

4 of us, Had a great meal, loved the buzzyness of the place.
Service a bit slow, had to ask for some drinks, but that was okay as it was busy. Staff seemed a little young & in experienced although one of them was great and she knew all the answers to our questions.
As you can see the people in the kitchen cooking it would have been nice to see all of them in chef’s whites, only one was dressed in them.
Overall good time and will go back.

Service: Although we booked for dinner, we were told we have to wait until other guests finished their meals? After 15 minutes of waiting we were offered to sit outside (shared area with neighboring bakery which was closed). One chair was broken, and young staff was apologetic but really not able to cope with the situation.

Food was average at the best. It was warm like it was reheated rather then just prepared.

Overall, disappointing, we will not be going back in a hurry!!!

I have visited this restaurant on several occasions now, in a large group and as a couple with my wife.
the excellent food, service by friendly staff and the atmosphere of a busy restaurant has always added to the ambiance of a very pleasant evening. highly recommended in my opinion

I went here with a group of friends for a 21st, i ordered a pasta and it was almost the best pasta I have ever tasted in an Italian restaurant before, and I do visit quite a few.
Service was excellent and food was brilliant!
I went back about a month later with my family and we all absolutely loved it and the meal cost us $120.00 for 4 people – that is amazing value for such brilliant food.

Highly recommend!

Devine!!

The food is glorious and the service is excellent. We dine here often and we are never disappointed.

Fantastic food, very attentive staff, awesome prices especially on Tuesday and Wednesday when they have $14 pasta nights. Don’t know so much about the wine side as I don’t drink but I definitely recommend Casa Tua as a must eat at restaurant especially if you are a local, very conveniently located.

Every experience a casa tua was amazing, we are monthly regulars at this restaurant and have never had a disappointing meal, service is amazing, food is always to perfection, and as I spent a fear amount of time in Italy there Italian cuisine was right up to mark

Always a great atmosphere, and fantastic food.

I usually end up going as a group of 4 or more, so a wide selection from the menu is sampled by our group, and there has never been any complaints from us – just the opposite in fact!

The staff are friendly and attentive, prices are fair for the quality and quantity of food that is served, and the décor is warm and inviting.

A small restaurant extended into the mall with plastic Walls. Would have been better to use drapes to cut down the Very high noise level.
Service, Toilets and Decor all excellent.
Food OK, Price high, Corkage $7 ea
Check wind and temp.
