Don’t come here enough! Wonderful place to eat, can’t see how you would be disappointed. Thanks Harry. The best pizza bread, enjoyed 2 bottles of Montepulciano, chicken livers, Scallopini Marsala, King Prawns, Petti All’albicocca (Chicken). Cooked to perfection and service with lovely vegetables. Service was great, most enjoyable Italian with the Italian vibe.

We were looking forward to dining here after Reading the reviews but were extremely disappointed with the very poor quality of the pasta selections served. You expect an Italian restaurant to at least get basic pasta right - it was disappointing.
My porcini ravioli, about 6 large parcels with sage brown butter, was the worst I've had ever. Compared with soft parcels with beautiful saucy mushroom filling that melt in the mouth I've enjoyed at other restaurants, my parcels were dry and tasted like cardboard. The filling was a dense mass of porcini like sausage that was also dry and tasted awful. The butter sauce was way too burnt and tasted horrible like they had used margarine instead of butter. Two parcels hidden at the bottom of the plate had broken open and looked uninviting. The 3 small shaves of Parmesan did nothing to enhance the dish.
The fettuccine al pollo had tiny pieces of dry chicken and lacked sauce - it seemed thrown together without love. The pasta was overcooked.
The tortellini boscaiola where do I start - overcooked pasta with slices of ham that looked straight from a supermarket packet added without being cooked, drowned in cream that was not reduced. The chicken pieces tasted like they were steamed beforehand - just awful.
The tagliatelle bolognese pasta too was overcooked. The meat sauce was watery and tasted bland - a store bought lasagna would have been much better.
The lack of care and love in the pasta dishes served was reflected in the dusty bottles high on shelves on the wall. I have eaten pasta at restaurants all over the world and this was the worst pasta I have ever been served in an Italian restaurant.
The service was okay if you like your bottle of wine plonked down noisily on the table in front of you.
We will certainly not be going back - yuk!

Had a great meal here with my husband. Having moved into the area recently We had thought that it is worth trying once. But we will definitely be back! Awesome food, great wine selection and reasonable prices. Not to mention, friendly and attentive service :)
4. Tipparost Thai Resaurant

Reviewed By 8623PaulineS - Bay of Plenty Region, New Zealand
Our host suggested the Tipparost for an evening meal and we were warmly welcomed, received very friendly (smily) service, the food was fresh and tasty and excellent value for money. After the meal we had a chat to the manager and he took quite a bit of time talking about Thailand and his restaurant here. The Tipparost offers sit down meals as well as takeaway meals and is decorated in typical Thai style with plenty of displays and trinkets and pictures. We can very highly recommend it. It might not look that impressive from the outside, but that is not of much importance when the food is good and the service excellent.

It was a rainy day, oh where to take the 4 year old grandson for lunch, lets try Pizza Box. He loved the alcove Seating and there was a special little room too. I noticed afew other families as well as couples. The food was great, I had the mussel fritters and grand-dad and grandson had the hot cakes which they enjoyed. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch, the service was good as was the prices. We will definitely visit again.
6. The Emerald

Reviewed By Agazo - Auckland, New Zealand
The decor was very nice and the service was fine since there were two waitresses working before the restaurant was full.
The food was a bit tasteless and the sauce was watery. I don't quite understand since other reviewers liked the food. Possibly, there was a different chef woking when were there.

Reviewed By Ken T - New Zealand
I've been eating out at this restaurant for a long time. Every time I took friends there, they were all impressed and returned for more. That tells you something. Service is always friendly. Food is authentic Penang style. The ambience is something you don't usually associate with Asian restaurants. I highly recommend their Hokkien (prawn) noodle soup. Best ever.

Raviz is my favourite place for a dinner out. The food is always wonderful. The service is friendly, attentive and fast. The atmosphere is fantastic. Well spaced uncramped tables. The prices are great and portions are generous. I can't rave about them enough. O
