We stumbled across this place while walking around Manuka looking for a place to eat for early dinner (5.30pm) and this place was opened! The food was great and there was a really relaxed Italian vibe to it.. prices were also reasonable and good value for money for a casual dinner out. We will definitely be back!

As noted by other reviewers, the quality of service probably depends on the time and day of the week.

The high-quality olive oil and bread, delicious pizzas, charming atmosphere, and attentive staff all contribute to a wonderful dining experience. The superb selection of boutique Italian beers and wines is the cherry on top.

I requested Halal food, but they have a wide variety of vegan options instead. I'm a big fan of their pasta and pizza, and the Italian mocha coffee is fantastic... read more I requested Halal food, but they have a wide variety of vegan options instead.
