The Italians Restaurant offers authentic Italian style with smart freshly done decor, romantic, simple and classy.
The chef is Italian, from the Emilia Romagna region, specialized in North Italian cuisine. A good background of Italian, Jazz and Blues music.
The menu has got a huge selection for all palates and pockets with steaks, chicken, pasta, seafood, pizza, etc.
Only the best ingredients are used, 100% low fat Mozzarella for the pizza, proper pepperoni salami, home made sausages (with real meat in it!), home made pasta and home made bacon to name a few!
Nothing is “precooked”, the dishes are individually cooked one by one, fresh on front of you (you can see the chef in action as there’s an open kitchen), for this reason, the Italians are able to cater for a wide variety of palates and dietary requirements making us truly unique.

A very busy eatery, and for good reason. Wonderful food. very authentic and full of flavour.
The pasta special is excellent and includes a glass of wine, and the Bacio dessert – divine.
But have patience, as the staff are run off their feet.

If you really want excellent Italian food, come here, simple as that! I had the chef’s own invention, sounds like a lot of strong ingredients but oh yum!! The home-made sausages are lovely. I have been taken out to some exceptional Italian restaurants for special occasions but this is honestly my favourite. If your in town for a couple of nights, visit the Indian restaurant down the road, it’s excellent too.

We live near Kerikeri, and this is definitely the best restaurant we have found. The food is always superb! The staff are friendly. When we want a special night, or just incredibly delicious food, this is the restaurant to come to.

One of the best restaurants we have been to. Probably the best in KK.(From a local) The breads & dips are superb, the food divine(try the pork masala)& it would be hard to find anyone that cooks steak better but most are worse, It is quite simply cooked perfect. Great range from a late night snack that doesn’t set you back much more than Macdonalds to a full meal, the Italians are superb, & fair prices makes us a regular……although we could happily eat here every day! Please dont retire anytime soon Cesare!

I often get takeaway pizza here and the Bartolomeo is fantastic, the homemade Italian sausage is worth the price on it’s own, it is Italian though & it’s not a good idea to trust when the pizza will be ready I generally add between 5-10 minutes. Well worth the wait as the food is superb.
The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, but is a bit cramped & like takeaway the food takes a good amount of time, but worth every minute of the wait. The staff at the moment are awesome, though the first review was accurate back then, we took awhile to go back, glad we did though.

I’m very sorry to hear that Tom. I aim to give everyone a night to remember (for a good reason) and exceed their expectations rather than disappoint them. All I can say is try us again.
