Amano really never does let me down. How one restaurant can do breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee AND baked goods to such a high standard is beyond me. As an entree, we got the stuffed courgette blossoms. I havent had stuffed courgette blossoms in years so I was very excited to see them on the menu! Each blossom was filled with a mint ricotta and complemented by candied walnuts and topped with crispy flakes and fresh herbs. The freshness of the mint, creaminess of the ricotta, sweetness of the walnuts and crunch of the flakes came together beautifully. 9/10 For the main, I choose one of the two vegetarian pasta options, the sweet corn, chilli and coriander Pene Rigatoni. Although part of me wishes they offered more vegetarian pasta options, Im also appreciative for the limited menu as it makes deciding very easy. I do love that Amanos menu is ever-changing to include seasonal produce, and given its coming to the end of sweet corn season, this seemed an appropriate dish to choose. These seemingly Mexican-infused flavours arent something I would think of having with pasta. However, I had faith that if anyone could pull off such a flavour combination, it would be Amano. Of course, they did so with flying colours. There was SO much flavour in this dish. The balance of sweetness from the corn, the spice of the chilli and the herbaceous coriander was all brought together by a generous sprinkling of pecorino. As always, the pasta itself was delightfully al-dente. 8.5/10Amano may not be cheap, but the portion sizes are very generous and I do think the quality justifies the price. Plus, I found out they do offer doggy bags if you cant finish your meal, which is something I really respect a restaurant of this calibre for doing! Easily one of my favourite restaurants in Auckland and I will certainly keep returning.
Hard to go past this amazing restaurant! A definite must eat! Flavors are endless and the quality is superior! What a way to do food! For anyone wanting a great night out I highly recommend!
Very pretty and big, open kitchen and nice design. Menu could be more attractive. Frittata for breakfast was very good. I feel it is a bit overrated as there is nothing really special about it, but it is enjoyable and I would go back.
Highly rated, one of the highest and for good reason. Food is hyper fresh and always consistently on that level, service is always friendly, almost too many people working everytime I’ve been. They certainly take it seriously and the location is wonderful and expansive. Most places in the CBD are cramped and over priced vs. the fare, not here. Get fresh bread from here all the time, baked on site, always fantastic. Will come for dinner here soon…
Got the clam sphagetti, beef carpaccio, tuna and mozarella. Favourite was the clam sphagetti – wonderful infused flavours from the cherry tomatoes and love the firmness of the sphagetti. The fried mozarella bread is every deep fried and cheese lover’s dream. Tuna and beef textures are so succulent with very flavoursome garnishes. Make sure you make a booking because this place gets busy, even during lunch.
This was such a fantastic dinner. We got the focaccia, clam spaghetti, and crayfish filled pasta. Indulgent, rich, and filling – wow! Dessert was two super delicious gelatos (salted caramel and hazelnut praline). Would definitely come back!
10/5 stars if possible! This is hands down one of my absolute favorite restaurants to dine at. Where do I start They have the tastiest seasonal menus that offer the most delicious and authentic Italian dishes- none of them had ever failed me. On top of that, the ambiance of this place is superb- fantastic background music, love the decor and is super spacious. Its often busy so you need to book ahead to avoid bar seating. That said though , the bar seating is great if you want to catch some action of the chefs cooking up your delicious dishes. Service is impeccable- so great that I willingly leave tips behind because its just that worth it!
