Good food, good service. My friend and I had travelled all the way from Auckland to wellsford just to dine here and the hour and 15min drive was totally worth it ??. I would recommend this place for a good dinner out or even just a beer with a mate or with your partner or with your whole family. Great environment with excellent customer care. With good food comes great taste and this what I got from La Padella, a must have from here would be the lamb racks and their pizza's. I myself had bought the beef dish (picture) and got to say it tasted better then it looks and it looks amazing so just imagine how nice it would've tasted!
I have to say their pizza really nice.i drove passed wellsford last week when I felt hangry then I parked gas station across the restaurant .i had a mustang pizza that pizza chef said most ordered so I never forgot,golden cheese delicious taste and crispy base everything best, I hope next try
The food at La Padella appears simple, but the flavors have
remarkable depth. La Padella is known best for its lamb rack, steak and pastry
wrapped chicken, the pastry-wrapped chicken won't find anywhere but here, this
dish need to baked in the oven for 4 hours, the meat is very tender and juicy.
must pre-order one day before. don't miss out when you pass though. All the
staff members there greeted my companions and me with smiles as warm as the
PIZZA they serve there.
Fabulous place now, The new owner are cheery and friendly, and the food is yummy and great value. Try the steak - my husband loves it! nicely cooked and real flavour. We will be back. A great place to stop off for a reviving break, have a handle beer or pizza.
La Padella has awesome food & great prices staff are friendly. However no highchairs for kids but otherwise very very nice resturant to have dinner at.
We, me and my wife, her sister and her sisters husband, had a nice dinner at your place 16 dec 2008, on our journey in New Zeeland. We were brought back to Castle Court Motell by you courtesy car. We enjoyed the meal and you service.
We stayed in NZ for 5 weeks.
The service was very good and professional, our meal arrived in good time and it very, very nice. Yum, I will eat there again.
Lovely service. Awesome atmosphere. Love the new layout and food!!!!
We had nachos and wedges. Really good value and very very tasty!!!! Thanks guys. Welcome to Wellsford. We are local and will be back. Bring on the strawberry cheese cake!!! Cheese cake was amazing!!!! Thanks allot guys.
Yummy！We have a happy dinner time here. Restaurant is a cozying space, just a right place to hang out with friends.
The most valuable and flavorful restaurant in this little town. And, of course, friendly staffs and funny facilities give me a sort of relaxation after a long time driving. I would recommend that there is a good courier station for both transportation and traveling between Northland and Auckland.
Great for a pit stop, good food, cold beer. Selfie taken by friendly bar staff, good times.
Had a nice local feel to the place and the food was yum. Thanks guys :)
Great little hangout for all ages (kid friendly) with tasty meals, including a Kids Menu. I liked the Seafood Chowder, my husband enjoyed his Cranberry Chickeb pizza and my boy liked the kids' pork ribs option. We'll pop in again on our next trip through. Thanks!🙂
Delicious!!! loved it! and so did my 2 girls, very warm and welcoming, i havnt had a bar feed like that in a long time its great to no wellsford has an amazing place like junction , definitely going there again!
this is one of the best restaurants in the whole of New Zealand!
such great food and carrying chefs!
OMG everytime I come here I order the Rio Grande pizza. New ownership now but SO SO SO GLAD to see they have kept the pizza menu. Some advice with the Rio Grande, please cut up the mussels rather than placing them whole on the pizza. It helps with the flavour distribution. Also the spice/seasoning with the seafood is addictive. That's what makes me come back for more. I keep trying to figure out what it is. Nice to see the place humming on a Wednesday night too.
Nice!! Pizza was excellent, looking at everyone else's plates their food looked good too. The place is nice and family friendly with little areas set aside for the kids.
We had a nice moment, watching the rugby World Cup while having few beers. The staff is very friendly as well, we weren't expecting anything but we were nicely surprised by this place. ++ cheap drinks
Great food, great crew and excellent service. Been there on our son"s birthday and they made the day special by their service...best local spot for a nice evening.
