A friend and I went there for a random lunch. Lured by the fancy restaurant façade and walls. My friend ordered a chicken salad and I ordered a pasta dish. The salad was some $25.00. It was crazy disappointing… you could have made the salad for a $1.00. MacD’d salads put this $25.00 salad to shame. It was literally 3 pieces of iceberg lettuce, three stingy pieces of bland chicken and a bit of cheese. The portions were an absolute rip off. I had a pasta carbonara from memory. It was very average and could have had a better pasta from La Porchetta at half the price. Didn’t want to make a drama because the service was good and we were the only people in the restaurant for lunch. Felt ripped off and won’t be going again.

Have been twice. Pizza is above average but not exceptional. The music in the restaurant is so astonishingly loud that you struggle to communicate at the counter which doesn’t help either. I should point out that I’m a former heavy rock drummer so not averse to loud music – in context! The woman who served me was also so distracted and abrupt that she came off as quite rude. Probably wouldn’t bother going again.

Fun environment to catch up with friends, nice wine list.. Pizzas pretty good too! Would recommend to others as a great local.

Went to Covo to grab a quick bite late on a Friday night and it wasn’t crowded thanfully. The waitress was warm and friendly. Our orders arrived fairly quickly. Had the canneloni with spinach and ricotta, it tasted nice and the portion size was just right for me. The desserts menu looked great. Will definitely go back and try a 3-course meal at Covo.

Went to Santa Lucia for dinner on Sunday night. Atmosphere was great – loved the decor on the walls! Food was nice, a bit on the salty side. Could do with much less salt, but other than that we had a pleasant dining experience.

Yummy!! This is a place where you can actually get a proper PIZZA in Auckland, with nice, taste, good quality ingredients, (not the, tasteless thick or thin bread stuff with topping, they call pizza at a lot of other places), I think this is one of the best Pizzerias in town.

While it appeared to be a busy little restaurant I really couldn’t understand why. Flat coke despite it coming from a can (not stored in fridge) can was under counter and wondering if it was left overs from night before. Asked for another, still flat. Duck overcooked, fettuccine made better at home, pork belly not actually belly according to my butcher husband but another part of the pig, and was a little tough. Asked 3 times in space of 5 mins if happy with meal, then waitress starts to clear our plates while we were in deep conversation both of us still eating and cutlery left open on plate. To top it off, husband pays, sits back down to wait while I go to loo, leaving my jacket on chair. I return 2 mins later to find husband pushed out by staff who removed my jacket and another couple sitting down despite other tables being available. Sorry won’t be returning, can think of several reasons y not to not return to the y not bar.

Had dinner a few weeks ago, got greeted by the staff whom were wonderful and very well trained. I asked for a romantic table for me and my partner, received it straight away. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented. All in all a very wonderful experience. Definitely would recommend it, I will personally be back for more.

If I hear the word pizza, I think of That’s Amore.. Why?? Its because they’ve got the best pizza and I’m addicted. I recommend #38 and #33 oh! they’re divine. The atmosphere is cosy and clean. Staff were awesome, friendly, efficient and enjoy listening to their cute Italian accent. Will definitely be going back!!

Meal: lunch (during work hours so we had limited time) Food: I ate the Prosciutto, Pear, Blue Cheese & Walnut pizza and it was YUM! Others at the table had the Seafood Chowder, Fish & Chips, Calamari and Burger which had no complaints. Drinks: reasonable selection, and the wine was actually quite well priced I thought. Service: pretty good actually. our food came within 10 minutes of ordering so they were super quick! Cost: $165 for 6 people who all had mains and 4 of us all had a wine. The meals were huge (none of us could actually finish theirs) and well worth their range (~$18-24 per main). Stand out feature: the comfy booth seats and efficient staff Will I go back? Yep.

We tried this for the first time, looking for a neighborhood. Very friendly introduction at the pizza oven, good food, nice staff. If there is a complaint, it is that the food took a bit to long to come. All in all, worth a second visit.

“Perfect dough, divine pizza !”
In the quest for the best pizza, I’m always trying new places, and I must admit I’m never satisfied…
So I tried That’s Amore pizza, and now, I’m totally addict !
I tried the Capricciosa pizza, with artichokes, delicious salami, capers, ham, mozzarella…. A combination to die for !
All the ingredients are really fresh and the dough is simply perfect, white, crispy, light and so tasty. You can choose between pizzas (43 different choice), calzone, salads, gnocchi, gelati….
We had some wine by the glass, a traditional red Lambrusco (slightly fizzy, low-alcohol wine) which pairs so well with the pizza. You can choose by the glass, a half bottle or a bottle.
For desert I ordered the homemade Tiramisu… Yuuuuuuuummmy. Served in a glass. So freshly made, that the Savoiardi biscuits were still crispy on the sugar side ! Very light, perfect for a desert. There was not cacao powder on the top but chocolate powder. This tiramisu was perfect, but I would just love it with more Marsala liquor !
The owners are real italian guys, from Napoli, in the south of Italy (where they do the best pizza in the world). You can hear them talking italian, I have no idea what there were talking about, but it give to the place a nice exotic atmosphere 
That’s Amore is by far my favorite pizza in Auckland. We are lucky to have such an authentic place in Auckland, where you can enjoy fresh tasty pizzas !
Grazie, grazie!!

I went to GPK Ponsonby yesterday with clients for a business lunch and had an extremely uncomfortable lunch and dining experience. We were seated next to the kitchen when the Manager walked passed our table started yelling at the chef and abusing him about a meal he was not happy with for all to hear. We relocated to the bar area to continue our discussions where the Manager continued his bad form and yelled out “am i going to get some service here”. GPK had an up market reputation an appealed as the right venue to have a lunch / business meeting , however as a result of lack of consideration for this managers towards his lunch cliental, i will never go to this restaurant again.

A friend and I were visiting Auckland and we called into the Conservatory for coffee. Coffee was great. We loved the surroundings, the variety of seating, the atmosphere and the friendly staff. We decided to eat before heading out to the theatre and we ordered a couple of dishes to share. The food was beautifully presented and tasted great. A unique and enjoyable experience. Will definitely go again.

Just appalling Serice was rubbish, actually rude Coffee was bland. Turns out it was just another corporate coffee outfit hiding under a thin veneer of ‘cool branding’ which was very derivative – should have guessed.

We were a party of four who just wanted some great Italian food. We did not book, but the staff were great at setting up our table even thought the place was busy. When we ordered however, we were greatly disappointed when we were told upon ordering that there were several dishes that they did not have for the night, even though some were on the specials, such as the Fish and one of the salads because there was no certain type of cheese. We brushed this off because the service was great and we were just to have a good time, the PIZZA was so delicious and so Italian. The food they did have was great, good value for money, good sizes. However unfortunately when we ordered deserts, they did not have most of the deserts, just the ice cream. So food was good, service was fantastic but the lack of the items on the menu was just right and disappointing.

We chose this restaurant hoping for a real authentic Italian experience. We were a table of three and this was our first time. The place is small but cosy and the atmosphere very relaxing. The wait staff was extremely friendly and the service was superb. If only the same can be said about the food. We noticed on their specials board the Fish specials for the night only to be told that there was no Fish for the night. We also ordered Cannelloni only to be told that there was also no cannelloni. This was a great disappointment to be in a restaurant that had lack of food. Other than that, it was an average place.
