First comes the honey-twisted salad with thin cut ham, light enough to carry on with 8 more plates. Then the seafood, grilled prawns and scallop are rich flavored and herbs on the topping. The pastas, with a thick creamy cheese on the top, best I ever had. After that it's the meat session. Pork for our night! The whole meal lasts for 3 hours, wine is perfect, everything is perfect. Do make a booking in advance as its fully occupied!

Back home across the pond we have a sort of reverence for Italian food that's evident in our…read morecultural stereotypes but more hidden in our dining habits. Everyone can imitate an Italian chef, but none of us talk about a new Italian restaurant the way we might about a new sushi restaurant or a hip Korean/Mexican fusion joint. In many ways, Italian food seems to have won the fight against the modernisation. People generally still look for quantity and quality in Italian food over ingenuity and risk. That makes Italian food less exciting. Less sexy. So how do you keep Italian food exciting when the popular opinion tells you it isn't, and shouldn't be? I think you could start with the lamb at Al Boccon di'vino. To get there you'd have to get through 10 to 17 courses though. None of which you'd know about before hand. All of which seem to have been plucked out of thin air by the chef. Each course is served simultaneously to the entirety of the restaurant, the final main dish is literally served with applause. That's right. Without any prompting, people at this restaurant actually applaud the main course as it's served. This has happened every time we go to this restaurant and each time it's a different main course. Portion control is out, and there's nothing sexy about that, but there's still something exciting about having a meal that's truly memorable, and each time I've eaten here that's been the case.

Each time we've been there they ask about the last wine we bought and how we enjoyed it with food, etc. They take the time to get to know their customers and build a sense of community with everyone that walks into the shop.

Great hidden gym, in my opinion!

The carbonara was spot-on authentic with a twist (tagliatelle instead of spaghetti, which was a great alternative in my opinion).

Highly recommend this for a wonderful dining experience. Service is top notch attentive as well!

Lovely neighbourhood wine bar with seriously delicious bar snacks…read more Lovely wine list of clean, interesting wines. Don't expect to drink the boring old NZ sauvy b or bulk Pinot Grigio here. The owners also have a wine shop around the corner so if there is something you really want to drink that isn't on the menu, you can byo from the shop with a corkage fee. Snacks wise, there's cheese, charcuterie, other small picky things like olives and then my highlight: toasties. Truffle and cheese or nduja and cheese. Get both. Staff here are lovely so if you're a solo drinker, sit at the bar and they will make you feel comfortable. They also know a thing or 2 about wine. Also, this place is aesthetically beautiful. Might be nice for a date night...
