We got the Margherita pizza to share as our starter which we both really liked, my husband ordered the risotto for his main and he loved it! I ordered the tagliatelle al ragu which I thought was good but would probably try something else next time. We both ordered the tiramisu for dessert which I thought was the best tiramisu I've ever had!! Yum! We had excellent customer service and we enjoyed this restaurant very much. I would recommend Fratelli to anyone wanting an evening out of delicious Italian food.

The service was lovely and although the menu offered so many delights, we both opted for the fish of the day. Our drinks came quickly, our table was in the corner of the front section and it was a great place to sit, watch the world got by and chat. Our meals came soon - even though we hadn't said we had a time constraint - we had grilled Terakihi fillet with fennel, olives and a beautiful salad. We also ordered a side salad of Rocket and Parmesan. We didn't need a dessert or coffees. By the time we left (just before 7pm) the place was fairly busy, but sitting where we were, we hadn't realised. The entire experience was very enjoyable. I am so pleased my friend chose this place. Thank you Fratelli - I'll be back.

The place was bustling with after work diners on a Thursday night. You might need one on busy times. I had a passionfruit daiquiri to start.

One of the best meals I had in New Zealand!

It is great for a nice dinner to sit down and enjoy a meal. We ordered quite a few appetizers and entrees to share as this was our last night here. We started with some raw oysters, smoke fish croquette ($9.50 each), focaccia bread ($9) with artichoke dip ($12), seafood chowder ($30), and the beef tartare ($28). Our favorites were probably the oysters and the focaccia bread with the spread. The oysters were fresh and we enjoyed trying them all. The focaccia bread went great with the spread as the bread was warm and the spinach dip was a nice cool dip to match. The bread was also perfect to dip in the chowder. For the entrees, we ordered a side of green beans ($14), fettuccine ($27|$37), Lumina Lamb Backstrap ($19 per 100g), and the Japanese wagyu ($85 per 100g). Our favorite out of everything was the wagyu. The lamb was delicious but it's not comparison after you have a bite of the wagyu. The Wagyu was cooked perfectly. The meat was not too thick of a piece to cut. The green beans were a great side to go along with the meal. The almonds added a nice crunch to the green beans. Overall, we enjoyed our meal very much. We felt that this restaurant was a perfect way to end our stay in Wellington!

Malthouse is one of the best beer bars in Wellington, a city already known for great beer. It has a…read moremixed modern and contemporary vibe, it's cozy and fun. Tables and booth seating are along the left wall, with a large bar taking up the right. They have a great tap list of local/NZ beer, plus cans/bottles, and food. The night I planned to come in I was running a little late, but even though it was close to closing, they let me in and were welcoming. I also had such a fun time meeting brewers from Australia in town for Beervana; it was a friendly place. The bartenders were great, glassware clean, and I definitely would've been back if I had more time.

I even dare to say, the beer here is better than Aus. Maybe that's too bold a statement, but I'm standing by it. Malthouse is the craft beer haven epicenter of Wellington. With over 150 national and international beers, this beer bar hosts the largest range of beer in NZ. A full tap range, staple beers and rotating ones all keep this beer bar "in the know" with its ever changing selection. Behind the row of taps, is "Malty's Wall" with fridges keeping beers cooled at the right temp, ready for tasting and consuming. Many of NZ beers come from small boutique breweries, which make them harder to find outside of NZ, but Malthouse hosts a great focus on local breweries. The menu is a beer bible. I've never seen one like it. It's leather bound and very extensive, filled with beer choices and all the information to accompany such a vast beer bar. Seating is cozy with both indoor and outdoor options. High tables, bar seats, lounge tables as well. With food options, they've got the perfect munchies which compliment beer. Try their famous Ugly Bread. Or the pizza. I'm a strong believer of great beer bars having pizza. It's something about cheesy tomato bread that goes so well with beer. All in all, this place is hands down, great.

I'm sure the blown out fuse didn't help and at one point the kitchen lights were out. The poor chef and kitchen staff. The menu was good but slowly lost steam. Started off with Grouper instead of Kingfish then a mishap with no risotto in a mushroom risotto with lentil. The Scotch Fillet was very rare with a lot of muscle. I don't think I will return.
