My most favourite new restaurant... Since moving into Ellerslie we eat here most Friday nights and are never disappointed. Love the food and team who are so friendly...highly recommend a visit and do the Calamari....you will not be disappointed.
We had such a great meal tonight at La Gondola. The steak was absolutely perfect and the pasta was so full of flavour. Our host was very friendly and was happy to accommodate our kids and help with our wine choices. It was overall a fantastic dining experience. If we are ever back in Auckland we will definitely be back.
Pizzas were excellent, certainly would recommend to anyone in the area to give it a go. Staff were friendly, service was great
Quick service, delicious fresh snapper for my main. Very generous serving. Great chardonnay choice as well. Loved it.
I tried a little off every ones that I was dinning with and all of the food was superb
Great food, good value wine
Loved the atmosphere, the food is divine and the service is excellent.
This is the second time there. We came back due to the exceptional warm service, ambient atmosphere and great food.
Good thing about it all is you get all the above without breaking the bank.
Will be back again.
My new FAV Italian.....
Steak is EPIC!
Take out pizza are pretty bloody good too!
Had the express lunch here a couple of weeks ago. Very nice pizza for $15. Service was very friendly and efficient. Seems like a good place to go back to.
Great food and excellent service, great night with friends. I had the Mediterranean calamari with a petit salad. The host was friendly and knew his menu really well. Great place
Lovely place. They were very accommodating for our special dietary requirements. Food was lovely and also child friendly. Staff were very friendly and would happily eat there again.
Food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Top friendly and attentive service. Highly recommend. Plus fab Florin I chianti. They apoligised for the lack of background music due to technicalities but we preferred the quiet chatter of people and not having to battle with background music. Top marks
Lived in New Zealand my whole 21 years. I'm not so much of a Italian Diner, however I love the food so much. This was my first time going to an Italian Restaurant and boy was I amazed. Although the place is small and can be considered a tight squeeze; the customer service and the food makes everything go away! Amazing flavours. Staff were very friendly and always checking up. Will definitely be coming back a lot!
Staff are lovely, our meals came out super quick even though our group was quite large. I especially liked the calamari and steak was well cooked and very tasty. Good value for money, will definitely visit again.
Really delicious and Authentic to Italian food. Def worth it!!!!. Great atmosphere too. I would happily take anywhere here and know it will deliver the same amazing food each time.

Nice cozy place to have dinner. Very friendly staff. Have read few reviews complaining about the staff and their attitude but, in my couple of visits, I found them top notch.
Being vegetarian, ordered margherita pizza and pasta. The chef accommodated requests of my wife regarding pasta.
However, the place gets crowded soon on weekends.
Consistently fantastic food, friendly staff and a great little atmosphere. I couldn't disagree more with the lesser scoring reviews on here from my experiences, maybe the diners were just having bad days. Have been for dinner several times and grabbed take-out too. I love their fettuccini al pollo and the many pizzas we've tried. All as good as many we had in Italy, can't say much more than that!
Amazing meals here in the weekend. Perfectly cooked steak and pasta, amazing flavours in all the meals around table. Friendly relaxed service from the staff too. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!
The Pancetta pizza was amazing! If you like mozzarella and bacon you will think the same. The Carbonara was super garlic-y which I was a massive fan of also. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone :)
I really like La Gondola, I'm surprised it doesn't have a higher rating. I found the food was really good, especially the fettuccine pollo which is my fave! So tasty and delicious, this is my go to place for takeaways since I live so close, and they also prepare the food so quickly!
Great service. Fabulous food. Paintings of Venice so nice to reflect on our own visit. Good wine. Own Limoncello well done. Genuine Italian warmth
We had a great meal here. The good was fantastic and reasonably priced and the staff were very attentive and friendly. I couldn't really fault it. Would recommend it.
We had an office lunch here (10 of us) and I was most impressed. The food was delicious, hot and served very quickly. Staff friendly and welcoming. Good value. I like how the floor was carpeted so we could hear ourselves speak! Would definitely return.
Someone recommended that this new local restaurant is really good. Being a foodie myself, I convinced my husband to come with me and try it and we were not disappointed. We ordered pizza, tortellini, and apple pie dessert. Everything was really nice - tasty - delicious!! The service was fast and staff is friendly. The restaurant is not that big but good enough for its location. The kitchen is visible to customers which I like - I can see how they cook and prepare things.
I am generous with my score because nothing went wrong with our first visit. Will soon be coming back - maybe a pizza takeaway ! They don't scrimp on the toppings. I love it.
Went out for dinner with a large group of us (16), and the service & food was great!I had booked in advance so our table was ready and waiting, the service & timing was great, we weren't rushed into ordering and all the food came out together & was delicious.
Seemed to be busy so would suggest booking ideally & no corkage charge at a BYO was great too!

Ordered on uber eats. I was thoroughly impressed. The time yum was tasty, pad Thai was very yummy and kids loved it.
What impressed me the most was the soft shell crab. With the sauce and rice was absolutely delicious. Best I’ve had in nz.
Love it will be ordering again soon!
Price per person: $20-$25
Well-balanced flavour so not too strong spicy and sweet. It's a small restaurant but with a good vibe from friendly staff and the interior. I enjoyed having my food.
A nice little place beside the Ellerslie village centre. We used to come here for couple of times before lock down. The place was quite popular. I ordered the famous green curry chicken, yellow chicken and my favorite Panang lamb curry. The foods are nice. Not too spicy. Not too sweet as well. Even I did not order rice. The staff kindly include three portions of rice. Thank you.
Great meal and great service, nice looking of street food style. We really enjoyed our meal and especially the special menu of braised pork leg. Definitely would be back for more
Always saw the the sign on the motorway so got to see and try on Sat. Wow it is a little hideaway restaurant. Loved the food! Very reasonable price. The soft shell crab was similar to one I tried in Thailand. YUM!! Will visit again
I love their authentic Gai Larb. It's my comfort go to dish. The staff at Red Crab are friendly, fantastic and the cuisine is very lovely. Red Crab is a conveniently located local restaurant to work.
Delicious. Great little eatery in an obscure neighborhood. Seems like they cater mostly to take aways. Would definitely come back to try other dishes
Had dinner with family, tried their red crab signature dishes except for som tam, instead had tum yong goong, superb quality and affordable. Love their crab cake. The set back though, needs more parking space and serving time should improve to 20mins waiting time. Highly recommended 👍
Authentic Thai cuisine! Great Host!! One of my favorites! Highly recommended!!
Husbands favourite thai. He loves the soft shell crab here. We came here for our last dinner before this lockdown 🤣 hope theyll be open again soon!
We came here for my father's birthday and had an amazing experience. Staff went above and beyond and even had a special birthday treat prepared for my Dad.
Have been here in the past and have consistently enjoyed great food. The karage chicken, soft shell crab curry, and garlic pepper crab are delicious. Highly recommend!
Awesome food and super friendly staff. Highly recommended for a quick lunch out!
The food was great and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Keep it up. 🥰🥰🥰
Excellent food and service. Highly recommend.
Seen this place on the motorway for years. Finally tried it yesterday and it was really nice. Flavours were bit sweeter for my tastes but I think that's the authentic flavour so all good.
The mussaman curry was really good, the beef was extremely tender. Soft shell crabs of course we're good. Sad about the papaya salad barely had papaya in it tho
Food was super yummy! The serving was bigger than we thought.
Little bit pricy but the duck curry was divine - big fan. The decor could be a little nicer. Staff were polite and food came fast!
I’ve been dying to try this restaurant and finally picked up a meal to go. Wow just fabulous! One of the best little Thai restaurants around Auckland. Superb food. Good prices - good value. I’ll definitely be back on a regular basis
