DAAAMN!!! Perfect dinner for a date night. Beautiful flavors, filling portion sizes and amazing staff. Restaurant setting is awesome. Make sure you book a table as it fills quick. First ever dinner where I haven't ordered something without meat. We will be back.

Probably the best restaurant I have come across in a long long time! Food was really, really good, service by young staff was accpetional, smiles and pleasant, light atmosphere made it a great experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone that respects good Italian food, the pasta is made in house with real eggs, the ragu was insane, pizza was great, my family said it was equal to my own, and as I have been a chef for 20 years and cook almost everyday for them. Rotorua was dead zone for food for us once but not anymore.

This place is outstanding! We went there on Sunday night and loved it so much we went back Monday night too. Their food is superb. The pork belly was the best we have ever had. Ever!!!! They also have a very well thought out and extensive vegan and GF menu. So much fun going there for a GF vegan as the choices are extensive. Our waitress Jade was knowledgeable, friendly and super attentive and it wasn’t a quiet night. Can’t recommend it enough if you’re in rotavegas

Oh Giovanni's..it would have been 4 star easily if not for the letdowns in the booking system. Let's start with the good stuff: food was lovely. We started with a scrumptious garlic bread/pizza, then Caesar salad which was huge and delicious, pork belly, and creamy pastas which were rich but tasty. But...a year ago we had booked a table here and were told on arrival that we could only have the table for one hour. So we left. This time we came from Hamilton and had booked a table via email, receiving a confirmation so we thought, all sorted. We wanted to come back purely because we do love the food. I then phoned the restaurant 15 minutes before our booked time to let them know we were running about 10 minutes late. They told me: no problem. Unfortunately there was no sign of our booking anywhere! And this after just having phoned the restaurant, so I am not sure why they didn't check there and then what time our booking was for. The saving grace was the lovely staff who took my number and rang us when a table became available. In the end we only waited about 30 minutes. My problem is with the way bookings are handled, in our case, a little poorly. The food makes up for it, but it would be so nice to make a booking and then feel confident that it will be in the system and we don't get the table for a limited time only! All in all it has left us a little weary trying this place again. Although we did really appreciate the staff going out of their way to try and rectify the situation. Thumbs up for the staff!
