Italian Dining
La Nostra Storia

Our Story

We are in the process of moving our quaint family-run Italian restaurant to the pretty town of Lincoln.

A Tradition of Excellence

Our new venue on Vernon Drive will provide the perfect place to have a quiet Italian meal. To keep the intimate feeling which our customers are used to, we are taking our popular booths with us! They can seat up to six people and provide a charming way to have a private meal or to entertain guests.

We invite you to join us and sample our authentic Italian menu utilising traditional Italian products and recipes paired with beautiful fresh New Zealand-grown produce. We cater for most diets including vegan and gluten-free.
