Amano

One of the nicest restaurants I've been to in a long time...stunningly stylish fitout in a fantastic location, the staff were lovely and attentive to our needs...the food was incredible and you have to try the clams and also the octopus...one slight knock on Amano was the wine list could have been a little more comprehensive. Regardless, treat yourself to a wonderful dining experience and visit Amano

As someone who has been disappointed with Italian restaurants lately, I decided to give Amano a try, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. In a culinary landscape where simple pasta dishes seem all too common, Amano stands out with its exceptional offerings. Despite the higher price range, the experience was well worth it. I opted for the Bolognese pasta, priced at $36, and it was a revelation. Bursting with flavor and complemented by incredible spices, each bite was a delight that melted in my mouth. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients in this dish truly set it apart. My dining companions also raved about their pasta choices, further attesting to the excellence of Amano's offerings. If you, like me, have grown weary of the disappointment often associated with Italian cuisine, I highly recommend giving Amano a chance. This restaurant showcases a level of culinary expertise and creativity that is truly refreshing. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised and indulge in a truly satisfying dining experience at Amano.

We came to this restaurant Bc it was recommended by the 36 h piece in the New York Times and it lived up to the recommendation! Definitely order the Chitarri (shrimp scampi). It was some of the best pasta I have had. The service was impeccable and well timed. The setting and decor is fabulous. Come here for a fantastic meal and great ambience in Auckland.
