Visited Da Setti Soldi with family (6 adults, 2 kids) on recommendation of work colleague. Overall experience was quite good but food a little bland. Waitresses really nice. Desserts over priced. Not sure I would return.

Had the prawn pasta special and was delicious! Simple ingredients, but perfect.
Service was good and atmosphere lovely.

Have been going to Da Sette for 30 years and have never had a bad experience. The staff know us by name now and we are always welcomed with smiles and great service. The prices, of course, have gone up and the restaurant is not now just a ‘cheap and cheerful local place’ but we keep going back as we always know that we will get good food and service. Must admit I wouldn’t take a huge party there as it is pretty cramped for space, but for two – four people it is just great.

Good Service, BAD food! We regretfully spent a Saturday evening there for dinner with friends. Calamari rings were like rubber that cost nearly $30. Seafood risotto had barely any seafood in it. Fish dish tasteless. No one in our party finished their dinners. Big rip off, over priced & bland food. Would never return or recommend. All 4 of us could not wait to get out of there. Obviously waiting staff are used to bad feedback as they really couldn’t care too much. I felt really bad as I was the one responsible for booking this restaurant!!

Eating here is not worth your time or money. Service was offish and unfriendly. Food was overpriced, bland and really below average. Out of 8 diners no one thought their meal was good.

We have purchased takeaways here a couple of times (Pizza and Pasta). The Pizza was very good, the pasta was good.

I have downgraded them one star as they only have a “B” food grading (which I noticed last time I went), so I probably won’t be back – I really think all restaurants now days need to have an “A” rating. I don’t really like the thought of a place that produces food for others only having “moderate” compliance with the regulations.

**update – I see they are now back at an A rating again… so I have put them back on the original 3 star rating..

I have been dining at this restaurant for around 20 years, I was in nappies when we first went there. It has since been the setting to many family birthdays and celebrations. The food is excellent!! The service we have received over the year has also been fantastic. I agree the restaurant could do with being slightly larger but that aside I am sure it will see many more birthdays as the family grows.
Highly recommend

I recently went to this restaurant with a client on a recommendation from my boss and boy was he wrong!!! The wine was expensive, the food was not what you would expect from an Italian meal (weak, limp, tired and flat), my waitress like the staff was both badly mannered and poorly trained ! I can not stress enough how much this ill experience cost me as I believe it was because them and the meal that we lost this client! I blame my boss

A group of six of us went to this restaurant on Sunday 17/5 also.We had a dreadful time with one of the Waitress and asked her to be replaced. (See Maggie’s Review –same night we went) Food was ordinary. I had a Pizza at Prego the precious week Crisp and delicious. This Pizza was soggy.Seafood Chowder was average. Food is over priced for an establishment of this sort.6 of us for dinner with 1 dessert and a 4 entrees. Close to $300.We bought only one bottle of beer as we had brought our own wine. $7 a bottle corkage is over the top. Wouldn’t recooment..Lot better Italian restaurants in Auckland.

This restaurant is definitely NOT the place to take a large group. 20 of us went early on a Sunday night to celebrate a family birthday. The space they had reserved for us was just ridiculous. When one of the chairs was occupied, it actually prevented the wait staff from getting out of the kitchen with the food – not well thought out. The food was very good quality but being crammed in and having no room to actually eat it, spoiled the evening. It was not only because we were a large group, I looked at other couples and foursomes and no one really had enough room. It is only a small place.

We had one friendly, smiling waitress and one who scowled the whole time and slammed items down on the table.

Not the best evening I have ever had – and we were all looking forward to it so much!

The food at this place is divine. We had the Seafood Risotto, which was really scrumptious, the lemon schnitzel was amazing too. The boy was so impressed he wanted to try their Pizzas too, may be next time

We’ve been coming here for about 15 years. A nice family restaurant with great food. Everyone we take here loves it. The menu never changes but who cares when you like what’s on offer. I always have the pollo sette soldi – chicken in a marsala almond sauce. The takeaway menu is extensive. The decor is a little tired/basic.
