This is my new favourite casual restaurant. Easy, relaxed and delicious without the loud music. The perfect place to catch up with great friends. Even though a booking here is for two hours we were not made to feel rushed. We only wished we had room for more food!
With a selection of yakitori (skewers) and Japanese small dishes to share. This is simple food brilliantly done. We had Sashimi, Steak Tartare, Tofu Fritters, Katsu Sando and Eggplant Tempura.
The service is relaxed but very efficient. I would be very disappointed if I couldn't get a table here. This not a large restaurant, I would highly recommend booking.
The address is 359 Dominion Rd, Mt Eden, Auckland
Without a doubt a must-visit addition to the Auckland food scene.
From auspicious and trendy beginnings in a food truck behind music studios in Penrose, Little Sicily now has a permanent home in a main road Onehunga pub.
The address is 190 Onehunga Mall (in the old sense of the word, i.e main street) Parking is around the back, but we found plenty of parking on the street on a Sunday.
Baduzzi translates to Meatball in Italian, and in this vibey viaduct (tucked behind North Wharf) restaurant they are fantastic. Stylish, Italian with impeccable service, what more could you want?
