We loved our experience at Iti. The food was phenomenal (the vegetarian dish, a mushroom risotto cake, was by far one of our top dishes this year) and the service was prompt. There was a twenty minute gap between our entrees and mains, and despite one main arriving a few minutes after the first, it didn’t impact our experience as the food was enjoyable and the waiter friendly and attentive. Iti also offers an amazing view on the balcony- we’d recommend booking a table there. For an entree, mains and drinks for two, our bill only came to approximately $75.00 which was affordable given the quality of the overall experience (with a huge emphasis on the food!). We’ll definitely be back.
Nice quiet little space in bustling Titirangi. We ordered 3 small plates and each was exactly what was needed for a brunch. The salt and pepper squid was made better by the delicious pickle and the tacos were tasty and fresh. The fried chicken was basic but as was to be expected. The one front of house staffer was pleasant and friendly. I’ll be returning to try the other offerings for sure.
Came here for dessert as a friend works here. Atmosphere is great and staff were super friendly, much busier than we were expecting for a Tuesday but there was a function on so I suppose that explains it. Food was incrEdible! We were already full from a big dinner but demolished the chocolate fondant. 10/10
Have worked my way round the new menu Market Fish with Gnocchi and Lamb Ribs for me are the standout. Also the duck pancakes are an honorable mention. Had the ravioli recently very good but the presentation was excellent
If you are a Steak fan, I urge you not to go past the delicious Rib Eye that chef Matthew Wagstaff and his team cooked up for me last night - aside from the generous portion of beef that was juicy as heck, the parsnip puree was my favourite part of the dish, as it had a really nice sweetness coming from the roasted onions and garlic that bought out the best in the parsnip. Even better is that they serve it on Mondays Steak Night for $20, meaning you can pair it with the Pilsner on tap, which was a very good drop! 5 star Matthew, look forward to more greatness in your new menu!!!
Love iTi. come here regularly and yet to be disappointed, staff is usually very friendly and accommodating and food is always good. highly recommend the chicken burger!
So good, had 6 different small plates between the 4 of us. We will definitely be back in the future, hidden gem!
We are live in Te Atatu and the setting is beautiful
Good place to enjoy the beautiful views of Titirangi and have some nice food.
I went there for brunch with friends and my partner. I had the Iti Big Plate, with eggs bene, tomato, potato hash, mushrooms, bacon and a yummy bratwurst.
Really worth trying, portion was good sized and price OK. Service was also good, but I think the place could be cleaner. We stayed at the open deck, which is awesome, but the roof was full of spider webs. The toilet windows were all covered with dust. Guess a place like that deserves better attention
Lovely staff, great food, unusual and interesting due to the chef being German we were told. He had a couple of VERY young kitchen hands who were doing a fantastic job from the look of the food and the speed of the food service. They were busy but the staff were attentive and pleasant. The bar tender made us a Moscow Mule - her first, she was a little light on the vodka but it was a good first attempt. Definitely going again. Try the sesame salmon salad, it was spectacular.
Great place, great staff. They are happy to help and are really good at what they do. Summer time will be booming for them with their beautiful deck and out door eating. The bar man is really cute.
Really cute unexpected little eatery in Titirangi- what a hidden gem! We ordered the flammkuchen pizza with grilled veges, shoestring fries and the small confit pork belly. My friend who doesnt like fries couldnt stop eating the amazing fries. The confit pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth- the top was crispy without being too hard to eat like normal crackling (yes, I committed the blasphemy of saying I dont like crackling!!) The pizza was ok- lobed the veg, sauce could use a touch more flavour. Would love to go back to try the other fabulous menu items! :-)

I came here for brunch and got the Brunch Burger. The brioche bun was the best part of my meal. It was so soft and nice. The burger itself was nice but nothing extraordinary. The coffee was good and service too. The best thing about this place is the view. It's absolutely beautiful and the decor is pretty too. If I'm ever out west, I'll try this place out again.
“Treetop restaurant” was all I needed to hear to make this restaurant a destination worth the drive out. The use of full length glass windows maximises the picturesque nature to their full advantage and allows natural light to filter in and create a bright and airy look.
Visited the iTi on the weekend for brunch/lunch and as we booked a table, we received one on the covered balcony with a splendid view of nature. The restaurant has a welcoming vibe, with upbeat music and a selection of drinks. We opted for smoothies (bottled not fresh was all they had), the omelette and French toast. Our dishes took a fair while to come out, but the waitress was very apologetic.
Had lunch on the deck yesterday overlooking the beautiful West Auckland bush - what a view and what a great spot, service was excellent, friendly relaxed and great casual eatery and bar. Had a delicious veal Tonnato dish that was fresh tasty mix of flavours and the smashed potatoes side were super good soul food. Has a nice new decor that is a serious step up from what was here previously and the new management and team have lifted the bar. This place compliments the local setting and if you're passing through the Titirangi Village, lucky enough to live locally or looking for a excursion this summer iTi is a great stop to or from West Coast beaches. Variety of craft and premium beers on offer with the new Tokyo Dry on tap and had a nice Rose "the Ned" with our lunch. Home-made foccacia to start was fresh and the dips made on site were tasty. Highly recommend a stop here for a beer, wine or a meal (or all of the above). A welcome addition to the Titirangi Village scene
Other 3 meals were good fish chips both battered and pan fried broccoli was good side dish big serve but the pork belly was very dry. Over cooked glad gravey was there in jug.
Celebrated a birthday here. Totally exceeded our expectations. Amazing food (great options; which were appreciated given my wife is both vegetarian and coeliac) beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. Great selection of drink options. All the while having exceptional service at the table. A great package which were were unable to fault; and have already planned on returning shortly
This eatery had a wonderful ambiance when we arrived for dinner. We were shown to our table, drinks were brought out quick. Our food arrived soon after. Presented very nice and were tasty full of flavour. Thank you. 😊
Lovely waitress, quick to take order and food fast to arrive. Good was yummy and generous servings. Chips slightly over cooked but still yum.
All in all a great experience here at iTi. The service was great! Although we did get the "you're not from here" vibes from other patrons which made us feel uneasy being citizens of NZ. The food was awesome, the wings could do with a bit more kick. The steak was perfect but the fish still needs work.
Words cannot describe how amazing this place is. The staff there are extremely attentive and were very thorough to cater myself with a nut allergy. The staff were all positive and really easy to talk to. They had knowledge of the food and drinks that they were serving and just made the night seamless and smooth. The food is next level fine dining at a excellent price. The vegetarian options and vegan options are just as good as the rest of the menu. You would be crazy to not visit here!!!
Lamb pasta was amazing and both desserts were decadent and delicious. The only disappointment of the night was the chicken burger, which wasn't very crispy (as advertised on the menu) and the chicken was really thin, the flavours were good though. But otherwise, amazing service and so glad to see some mocktails on the menu that weren't just overpriced fruit punchs!
Had the tacos and a lot of care was taken in the prep and presentation. Kudos to the chef, fresh, homemade salsa, really great. Simple but great getting something clearly not straight from a jar.
Breakfast couldn’t get better!! Parking was a pain as this place is located right on Titirangi road, which happens to be a busy spot and we went on a Sunday! So it was a 2-3mins walk from where we parked (not much)!
The food was yum! Perfectly cooked mushrooms 🍄, as I got the Mushrooms on toast and crepes were super yum and super filling !
Tried the fejoa flavoured Kombucha and must say, I’m a fan! The service was a bit slow as there was just one staff handling the place that day, but allowed us time for our chit chat and banter! Overall, a good place with a good vibe! Will visit again. ☺️
We’ve been going to iti for years , the service and the food has always been great. I’m sure we’ll be going for many more years .
Despite the wait time for food, the overall experience was enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend iTi for anyone looking for a cozy, modern atmosphere and scrumptious food.
Dinner was lovely at iTi. Conveniently located not far from Piha with a cozy outdoor seating area. Don’t let the casual atmosphere fool you — what comes out of the kitchen is easily on par with fancier establishments. Our dishes were prepared flavorfully and presented elegantly. iTi came recommended to us by a friend in the area — clearly, he knows his stuff. We really enjoyed it and will be back the next time we’re in West Auckland.
Had a fantastic experience at Iti, food and atmosphere was great and the service was amazing, definitely worth going. Staff went extra mile, had mentioned I needed to get something later for a family member during conversation and they went out of their way to get it for me - was such a surprise and was completely blown away. Will definitely come back again.
Super friendly staff and a great place to stop in on the way to or from Piha. Highly recommended. I had the Mushroom Pappardelle which was super tastey and jam packed full of flavour. The bloody Mary was perfectly made with the right about of spice.
This place is amazing, great food, great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Also the the food is amazing.
One of fave locals, wonderful food and beverage, warm cosy decor and excellent staff. Dined 3 times and will always return, good place to go with friends and family

Fantastic food. Got 4 items from the small plate menu and they all came out perfect. The fine balance of flavors and nice servings in the nice setting of the bush. Will be aback.
We were wowed by iTi! Every meal, every taste, was sublime! From the steak, the fish, burger to the focassia bread, absolutely rich in flavor and excellently made. Our waitress was great, friendly, helpful, accommodating, and always smiled. For sure worth the trip to Titirangi. A must visit
Great food especially arancini balls, fish pate and chocolate mousse dessert! Good wine selection. Lovely service.
