We started with a pepperoni and sausage pizza - 6 smallish slices and then a very nice Chicken Saltimboca. They had no red pepper flakes but they did have a spicy chili oil that we were able to add to give the pizza a little zip. The crust was well cooked and crispy. The chicken used a full breast instead of flattened chicken breast pieces that we are used to seeing for this dish, however it was still very tasty and a very good deal. The lighting and ambiance is nice, the table service was good and we would recommend this if you are in Taupo and want a tasty Italian meal.

Lasagna- one piece- $18, a tad salty but actually really tasty. Grated cheese - under 1gram - $2. You read that right. $2 for grated cheese. See the pics for how much cheese you actually get. "Wow, look at all that cheese!" Eye roll. Can't understand the waiters and everything was sloooooow. But other than all that, I'd never go back.

The ambience is bland and not helped by the older woman behind the counter challenging our choice as not being on the dinner menu (it was), and then debating in our hearing about whether what we ordered was allowed under the promotion (it was) Very average greasy vegetable balls and ok pizza. Wine order incorrect. Only real plus was the friendly server. Changing the name has improved nothing.

They did not have non-alcoholic beer which was on the menu. Sells alcohol but does not advertise it on the drinks menu. Appears to only offer wine, which was also a small selection. We both ordered Spaghetti bolognaise, one with cheese and one without. Both plates were excellent but there was a bit of shredded cheese on the non-cheese version. Waiter was happy to sort the order but it was easy to remove the cheese. Food arrived very quickly. Music was played through a crackly speaker. Menu price was reasonable. Overall a nice, simple place to have a simple meal or pizza. Suitable for 2 to 4 people per table.

We shared a ceasar salad to start and it was lovely, really fresh lettuce and the dressing was just right (I don't like overpowering dressings). Then for mains which we both had trouble deciding on, we went with the waitresses recommendations which were spot on. The Fettuccini Royal and the Chicken Migon. The pasta was delicious and really tasted authentic. The star of the night was the chicken, on top of a sweet potatoe rosti with a light cream sauce, it was superb - chicken was moist and tender and the sauce devine. Service was good, and although the menu dos note that meals could take a while due to using fresh ingredients it was a tad too long, so let them know if time is of an issue. Overall a great experience and we would come back anytime.
