Underated Italian restaurant serving traditional dishes. I ordered the cabonara and tiramisu. Never had cabonara like that before it definitely exceeded my expectations and the tiramisu was to die for!! So soft and melts in your mouth. Will be back for sure!

We love Venosa. It's authentic, rustic and delicious.
Please ignore the Maddie W review, this is not representative of the heart and care that the owner gives towards her customers and the yummy food.
Some customers are never happy and it's sad that one person's impossible expectations can damage a hard working and lovely business, and just so unfairly!
Go to Venosa, enjoy the wine and authentic Italian food. Have a yarn to the owner - she's awesome!

We have had dinner here twice in the past fortnight. The food has been exquisite. Loved the eggplant dish, the chickpea pasta, and my favourite the pork ragu. Highly recommend a visit for some old school ambience

The Gnocchi was perfect. The softness and taste was flawless.

Amazing food. The gnocchi was so fluffy and light - best gnocchi I've ever had. We also had the Italian sausage and peppers pasta which had an amazing kick to it. The negroni is strong - just FYI as damn it hit like a champ. The owner is super lovely and friendly, this place is amazing for date nights and catch ups.

Went here with my girlfriend for an early dinner. Owner was very nice and attentive to us and gave us a table although we hadn’t booked prior. We ordered the Pork Ragu and side Bread. Food came out quickly and tasted lovely. Great experience & Would come again.

Lovely authentic Italian restaurant with a charming owner who multitasks cooking, greeting customers, always checking up and assists with payment. The food is authentic Italian food that reminds me of the meals my father cooked for me (we are Sicilian). The atmosphere is very homely and cosy, especially romantic if you are going on a date! I highly recommend the tiramisu. Very fairly priced too.
Ignore the bad review some of them are baffling! Don’t take advice from gluttons that need 3 servings to feel full or people who receive 50% off their bill but STILL complain because they fail to read T&Cs on their deal.

We were the first table to arrive at the dinner, and the food was delightful and authentic. Despite there being only one lady serving the entire restaurant at that time, she was really nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend coming again for more pasta.

Lovely restaurant - have been here a couple times now so feel qualified to leave a good rating. Food is great, they do my favourite garlic bread in all of Auckland and the tiramisu comes highly recommended. Staff are friendly and attentive, and the whole place has a lovely, warm atmosphere. Definitely a great place for a night out.

A little gem in Kingsland. Delicious Italian food, every mouthful was spot on. It’s a very small restaurant but the food and service is really good. Our knowledgeable waitress was passionate about the food she helps cook. The Italian and Spanish red wine we ordered was lovely and smooth, we polished off two bottles with a table of 4. And they were playing Italian music, helped with the ambience. Will be back again.
