My husband is 71. He loves pizza. He has eaten a lot of pizza. He said this was the best he had ever had. I would agree. The dessert was also excellent. And so was the wine!

Im from Italy and came across this outstanding establishment. my wife ordered the spaghetti with mussels and i had the pizza Emilia and the rocket and pear salad. We were totally surprised with the excellent quality - the pizza napoletana was incredible - hard to believe thereâs a place that makes pizza here in the traditional way. Amazing. the Italian wine on the list could be expanded to include more varieties, but we had a bottle of the barolo which was very good. the place has incredible views and the staff were so friendly. we would recommend this place to anyone seeking an intimate setting and quality service. thank you Aperitivo.Wow! Thanks for your very positive 5 star review - we appreciate getting feedback from our customers. It helps us grow the business and your comments about the wine are noted. Thanks!

Absolutely overrated! What kind of wine tasting is it, if the waitress canât explain the sort of wine? Itâs an absolutely tourist rip off! Go to Mudbrick and join Bob! He knows his business!

I have visited the Cable Bay Restaurant on Waiheke numerous times as a casual diner for both lunch and dinners. As I live in Auckland most of the year I visit Waiheke often over the long summers as it is one of my favourite spots to go in all of NZ.Cable Bay has never failed to turn on an excellent spread, it is at the upper end of the market price wise and you certainly get what you pay for, great wines as well.
6. Stonyridge Vineyard

Reviewed By milliesmum2016
I wasn't thrilled by Stonyridge - neither the wine nor the set up, actually. Maybe it was just because it was a chilly day. The wine is extremely expensive but at least you can buy single tasting glasses. Which is just as well considering the one I had was $8. Of course, the bottle price was well over $100. I guess, on the upside it was a chance to try wine that I will never, ever, in a million years, be able to afford to buy.Menu looked ok but, again, expensive I thought.Nice location - but then, that's not extraordinary on lovely Waiheke.

Our wine tasting included little samples from the restaurant (Cote de la Colline) followed by high tea in the restaurant. Hanna, our guide through the tasting, was excellent and I was able to practice a little of my Swedish with her. The chef/owner will provide a copy of her recipes (except one) and I took advantage and have since prepared an awesome Malaysian Curry soup. It was one of the pairings with the wine tasiting.Over all it was a terrific experience. Beautiful winery, great views and fine food.

Just a lovely lunch. We decided on the degustation menu for a treat and were not disappointed. The food was superb, interesting , local and light. I have been converted to pork belly , the beetroot Kostas, were delightful. This is absolute fine dining and I encourage to take your time to savour all the delicate flavours. We were still going 3 hours later. The service was perfect: polite, knowledgeable and warm. We scored a pearler of a spring day. We came by Sea link ferry because we did not know better, their is the local one much closer .Thank you for a terrific lunch .
