The Verdict

If you’re a lover of all things pasta, then come and spaghett it (we had to) as new pasta joint, Barbarino’s Spaghetteria lands in Avondale. Get your slurp on and be prepared to tuck into some authentic traditional Italian fare that won’t break the bank.

The brains behind well-known eateries Winona Forever, Major Tom, Fang, and many more, Fran Mazza and Aaron Carson, have done it again but this time they’ve dropped the fusion and created an authentic Italian restaurant that resembles an Italian food hall—relaxed, simple, easy eats in a flash and generally just a no-nonsense type of place.

If you’re after an Italian experience like no other, where cheap eats that don’t sacrifice on flavour are at the forefront, as well as a low-key, chilled out vibe, and a carafe that just keeps on giving then Barbarino’s is the place to be.

Bistro Saine

Wander down the cobblestones of Saint Patrick’s Square and you might happen upon the luxurious first floor of newly-built Hotel Indigo, housed in a restored heritage building. You can enter through the other side too—the Albert Street entrance blending into the concrete jungle as if it was always there (just look for the elegant Bistro Saine font out front).

Restaurants

Takapuna Surf Club

When you hear the words surf club, what comes to mind? I think of ice cream, pizza, and Alf Stewart (I haven't watched Home & Away in years, but I understand the Summer Bay Surf Club is still standing. Poor old Mr. Stewart, I'm not so sure).
