Adriatico

Wow. The scallops were perfection, served on the most tantalising creamy mushroom risotto, what an incredible dish. Adriatico is a simply adorned family restaurant with outstanding food (all in my group really enjoyed), now I can't wait to return.

Great attentive service. Enjoyed the pork belly special, generous, tender, delicious. I'll be back to try something different off the menu. Don't be put off by the dated interior, a gem in the heart of Henderson

Im a NZ born Chinese, today on Valentines day my partner and I felt what exactly racism feels like. There isn't words I could use to express such nonsense customer service. We visited on Valentines Day. We knew it was a busy day so we called in at 4:50pm to ask if there were any available tables. They informed us that there were two available slots 6:15pm and 8:15pm. We chose to dine at 6:15pm. When we arrived there were around 8 available tables. The waitress took us to a table situated in front of the restrooms. We kindly asked if we could be reseated to a next available table. And at that point everything went well, the young waitress there was very polite. We made our order and had out entrees served. While waiting for the mains, it took a while and understanding that it is a very busy night, we kindly asked the waitress to help us check on our mains. Suddenly, a gentlemen from another table approached my partner and told her to turn her phone off. A while later he turned around and said" I don't know which phone of you's is constantly ringing, but it is driving me nuts". I showed him our phonesand told him it wasn't ours that have been ringing. He made us feel quite uncomfortable with the way he talked. I then talked to the waitress and told her about the situation. This is when the nightmare started. Straight away she said that those were regular customers and she can't really do anything and went straight to the manager. The manager came out followed by the Chef. I tried to explain the situation to them, but the Chef was very rude. He said we called at 6pm and they gave us the table at 6:15pm, and that we complained about the table, which is nonsense because we called in advance to "ask" if there were any available tables and at that time you gave us options to choose from. When we came we politely asked if there were any other tables that we may be able to be seated in. He theb said that they were regular customers and we should not be complaining. He said that if we don't like it we can go somewhere else. I've been in New Zealand for 27 years and had never come across such poor service! I have to be very fair on this, the food was good but staff there were rude and arrogant. Would never go back and would not recommend any Asian customers to approach, because while we were quite a few other customers asked if they could get reseated and they had not had a problem with that

beautiful Italian food so flavorsome and delicious, beautiful ambiance, staff are friendly, welcoming and very customer focused. Affordable and worth every cent. We will definitely be back

The service is always exceptional and the menu has enough choices to please all. Whatever the choice the taste of each dish is delicious.
