The gluten free pizza crust is amazing, and there are a bunch of vegan options. Great service too.

Bella Cucina Restaurant - Spaghetti aglio e olio

Like everywhere in NZ, make reservations…read more I'm staying in Queenstown for a few days, and booked this reservation a few nights prior. The restaurant itself is long and narrow, so tables on one side and servers and the kitchen on the other. I ordered bruschetta for my starter & spaghetti bolognese for my main. The bruschetta came out with sliced prosciutto on top which I could have done without. I wished for more tomatoes, onion, and oil. The spaghetti bolognese was flavorful but just ok? Like, I'm not Italian but can make a better version of that at home. Although it's a simple dish, that probably not something you want to hear when you're selling it for $36 NZD. So the overall dining experience was a bit meh. I went to a pizzeria in Te Anau with better flavors. It might be a nice dinner date because the ambiance is lovely, if a bit loud. The service was fine, if a bit on the slow side.

Our last meal in Queenstown was here. We had reservations (and it was busy) and were seated…read moreimmediately. We had the back of the restaurant, corner table. Not much to look at but it was a little quieter and away from the ovens back there. Husband had the fettuccine carbonara and I had a margarita pizza. Both were excellent. We started with a Caprese salad which was also excellent. My pizza had homemade crust with the bubbly burnt edges that happens in a woodfire oven. So good. Service was excellent. Parking on street is less than rare so we parked in a lot for roughly $10USD. Great experience.

We were a group of 12, my brother in law called and made a reservation over a month before, then…read morecalled to confirm a few days before. They confirmed the reservation with him. We arrived after a long day of traveling and they had no reservation for us and said they had no room for us . This was pretty frustrating, especially since we had 4 kids under 6 with us. So then we decided we will just order take away and eat it at a park. When we went to order our food the staff said to wait and they would make sure they could get us seated. They worked super fast and got a table from a large group that just left ready for us. We really appreciated that. Pizza was excellent, drinks were excellent. We had full bellies and happy kiddos!

So we asked different local people what they recommend, so after we purchased the first pizza, it looked like an individual size, so we bought another from the second choice and that was not much bigger. We remembered as we were walking through Queenstown that there was another shop handing out samples and it said "Largest Pizza in Queenstown", that was a go for us were quantity was most important, so we got a 3rd pizza from 3 different pizza restaurants. Ended up, all 6 of us preferred the Fat Badgers the most! Half Fat Badger, Half Arnold Schwarzenegger was a very tasty pizza and good size. Was loaded with lots of ingredients and very generous. I would recommend this pizza restaurant over the other "popular" pizza restaurants

Based on our experience of trying to get a reservation at one of the nicer restaurants in…read moreQueenstown and what our Airbnb host told us of her previous tenants' experience of looking for a place for dinner (they ended up getting pizza late), we were proactive regarding finding a place for dinner. My fiancé made the smart decision of looking at areas outside of downtown and found this restaurant. It's a little on the outskirts of downtown but not too far (via car). Our reservation was for 9 but we got there almost an hour earlier yet managed to get a table. The owner/manager (?) welcomed us and sat us himself. As for tables for dining, this place is pretty small so it makes sense to make a reservation for dinner during the busy seasons. This is definitely a local place and the service shows that. We ordered the tomato and basil bruschetta to share and a glass of Riesling, we enjoyed both. Like most places in NZ I've been to, they have one vegetarian option in their mains so I went with it: house-made gnocchi with tomato, chili, basil, olive & caper sauce with ricotta and Parmesan cheese. It was absolutely delicious, after having Italian at several places in NZ, this dish felt the most authentic and was hands down the best. I've enjoyed every part of the dish and wanted more. The fiancé ordered the Fiordland wild venison, seared on mushroom risotto and steamed green beans and liked it a lot. The service was pretty good, I've learned to lower my expectations regarding service when outside the US but our waitress was sweet and personable. The owner/manager also checked on us several times throughout the meal. We had a little issue with some items being wrong on the check itself and getting the check (but I assume they simply didn't want to rush us) but all in all, I truly enjoyed this place and it was probably the best meal we had on our trip.

While staying in Queenstown on holiday our AirBnB was just down the road so we called in a takeaway…read moreorder because we consistently saw the restaurant packed with patrons. We ordered a Mediterranean pizza and garlic bread. Although it wasn't 100% authentic Italian it was the best pizza we ate while in New Zealand. The toppings had great flavor and the crust wasn't too crispy, hard, or floppy. Give it a try!

We walked in and were warmly welcomed by an adorable waitress who let us take our pick of the empty booths :) We had two waitresses who helped us and they were both super nice and awesome! One really looked like Anna from Downton Abbey, and the other was really pretty and bubbly so they definitely contributed to the warm and welcoming environment. I ordered the spaghetti with meatballs with a side salad, my mom had the green lipped mussels, and my dad had the ribeye. We received a bottle of water for the table which I LOVE because then I can drink as much water as I want without having to find my waiter when my cup is empty. The spaghetti was great and covered with a deliciously chunky tomato sauce, but the meatballs were super tough and dry.. Thankfully when my dad asked the waitress if she could swap them out for some fresh ones she quickly did so, and the new meatballs were much tastier! My dad enjoyed his ribeye which came with potatoes and green beans, and my mom liked the mussels although she did think it strange it came in a tomato sauce instead of a cream based sauce. I'd definitely come back here because the food was good and the service was excellent :) They have plenty of space too so if you find yourself waiting hours for a table at a popular joint you should pop over here and feast on some delicious Italian food :D

We started sharing the soup of the day, a potato and leek soup that was creamy and delicious and had a lovely garlic taste which was just right. I had the chicken risotto and it was seriously good and generously sized, I shouldn't have eaten it all but couldn't stop. Hubby had the Lasagna and although it was good it didn't wow like the risotto and the bottom was slightly burned. We added a side of seasonal vegetables and these were delicious! We saw a few other meals come out that had our taste buds watering so this place has a great food selection. The wait staff were lovely, the atmosphere cosy and the food was good. We would come back.
