Baduzzi - Wynyard Quarter New Zealand

First time dining here and was very impressed! Catered for my whole family with meat eaters, pescatarian and me (vegan)! They have a whole vegan menu which is really delicious and nice for an italian restaurant as usually everything is loaded with cheese. Innovative flavours! The risotto was incredible and full of flavour. Family got the tiramisu which was apparently superb! Presentation was gorgeous

Excellent food at this high end restaurant with a family feel.We tried the restaurant month menu which highlighted their pork dishes. We really enjoyed the tiger prawn and cannoli (dessert). The bone broth was good too but found the meatballs in it were a little overdone. Table was a bit small for our group of 4 but I suppose that's in keeping with the idea of a trattoria.The staff were very attentive, clearing the table without us even noticing. It was nice that we didn't feel like our conversation was being interrupted.

Been here five times in the last 10 months and had a great time every time. The staff always make my family and I feel comfortable there and are always helpful. The food out of the recurring dishes I’ve had are incredibly consistent (having had the Polpette deer meatballs and Buttered maltagliati with duck have not disappointed) and does a good job of using contrasting flavours or textures to break up otherwise heavy pasta and steak dishes. The steak with some sort of balsamic vege topping may be a bit abrupt of a flavour match for some however.

Everything about the place is just amazing. I went online and the restaurant was full booked for a Friday evening. Called up and got a table. Arrived on time and was very well greeted. We were lucky to get a booth for our table. Thanks to the lovely waitstaff. The deco is surely eye catching, elegant, warm and comfortable leather booth seating. Was not too noisy either. We ordered the wood fire prawns, the crayfish meatballs, Fish of the day was snapper and this was one of the best and crispy pan roasted fish I tasted We also had the Agnolotti of gunard and scampi must try all the dishes. Dessert was Tiramisu was very delicious as well. The bar staff were also very nice an created a special cocktail for my wife and she loved it. Overall a great place for an upmarket style dining. Total bill for 2 adults $214.00.

Warm and toasty dining experience for a cold winters night. Food was beautifully prepared and presented, and the desserts especially were exceptional! A great place for fantastic Italian food!
