We were delighted when we heard the chef from O'Sarracino, one of our old favourites, had started a new restaurant.
We started with the antipasto, which was very flavourful. My favourite element was the fried eggplant.
We had the seafood pasta, a beef ragu, and pork meatball pasta as our mains. Al
We chose the set menu option and weren’t disappointed at all. Gaetano was warm and charming with every little story that made up his delightful restaurant and that day’s set menu. His aperitif and wine reccomendation set up our meal so well. Every plate that Gaetano and Flavia brought out for us was
We went to Monzù for Valentines Day and had the set menu - thoroughly enjoyed the divine tastes of Southern Italy. They paired our courses with smooth, high quality wines. Good service.
Divine pasta that I frequently dream about - the sauces have such an amazing depth of flavours, each dish an absolute delight... If you can't make up your mind as to what to have, relax and let the chef choose for you... I did just that tonight and absolutely loved my caramalised onion, peas and pro
Passed by many many times and never really paid attention to it until when I was looking for some Italian restaurant.
Booking was made for 7.30 and it was quiet inside , had mixed feelings at that time. At the table standard cutlery not even on the napkin so right away ring alarm bells (read to the
On the top of the food goodness that distinguishes Monzù, I think that a great strength of this place is the possibility to dine in a fancy location, with superbly dished up meals, with the same budget you would need in a more "mainstream" location. I think it's very good value for money and a good
The best Italian restaurant in Auckland! This photo is the eggplant parmigiana as an entree (antipasto). The pasta dish I had was nocci and it was superb! Full of flavour, staff super friendly and accommodating. I truly recommend!
The best Italian restaurant in Auckland. The menu changes everyday and therefore no two dishes will ever be the same. You'll also get the best service from the owner Gaetano who is one of the warmest people you'll ever meet. I highly recommend frequent visits to this establishment
Great food and great service, a must try for food lovers in Auckland.
Our group of twelve hungry diners were treated to five courses of delicious authentic family recipes. The owner shared the origins and history of each dish which we washed down with a beautiful Italian red wine. Thank you for your hospitality, we really enjoyed ourselves.
One of the best restaurants in Auckland, hands down. I’m Italian, been here for 20 years and my family and I are always looking for authentic Italian restaurants which are extremely hard to find (unfortunately). Gaetano is such a character, very professional staff, and the food is truly authentic. R
Beautiful Italian food on a plate that tastes amazing and is totally different from what you are expecting! The owner and wait staff go above and beyond to look after you so that a meal there becomes a fantastic and fun experience! Would definitely go back!
My husband and I had dinner here. It was fabulous! The food was authentic and delicious and the wine to match was very complimentary. The service was top-notch and Gaetano really made the evening special for us. Highly recommend a visit to this restaurant.
Just had the best meal in New Zealand ever! The degustation was sublime, the most perfectly balanced, authentic and creative Italian food I've ever experienced. You can tell the flavors and techniques are from the heart and lives of the chefs! If you're looking for a night out in Auckland don't go p
Superb Italian cuisine artfully presented to stimulate your appetite and taste buds. Suggest you order the bullubaise with fresh New Zealand fish, succulent prawns, tiny clams, calamari, crayfish and more.Excellent homemade breads and desserts designed to spoil and delight you. Considered by many on
We had a wonderful meal at Monzu, every dish a new taste experience and Gaetano made us feel warmly welcome. A really special night.
A unique fine dining experience at a surprisingly affordable price.
It is difficult to describe....I did eat at O'Sarracino, was never disappointed, but I thought I knew what I could expect...and instead, it was a totally new level ! Gaetano, in this new venture, does not simply work in the kitchen...he literally lives the kitchen as an act of love and passion. The
Auckland's Best Italian Dining by a long shot
My partner and myself had heard good things about Monzu. Both being Italian food fans, the owner Gaetano and his chef Flavia blew us away with their magnificent 4 course innovative degustation menu and selection matching wines complimented with Gaetano's
First of all THANK YOU to the owner and the staff at Monzu. My friends threw a surprise birthday dinner for me, Monzu are not open on a Tuesday but they opened especially for our dinner party and i am very grateful. I felt very special and spoilt. The 5 course degustation was to die for. Every dish
