Mariluca Ristoro

This spot has quickly become my favourite restaurant in Wellington, with fantastic service and delicious meals. You step inside and you are immediately greeted and made to feel at home. The gentleman who I’ve seen there a couple times is an attentive expert at his craft. The other servers are also excellent Next the food! It’s perfectly portioned not too big not too little. The flavours are perfectly balanced with lots of depth!

I've been here a couple of times and have always remembered this place fondly. Really has a craving for Italian pasta for the whole week and was so excited to come back! We decided to share 3 pasta dishes instead of getting one each, and it was such a good idea! We didn't get sick of the richness of the dishes cos we kept changing around, sand got to try 3 different flavours at once. Originally the duck had the most potential in our head but the sauce of the gnocchi blew me away! Then the linguine was just wow, honestly I saw olives in the ingredient list and I wasn't very keen but turned out to be the best dish of the 3, the flavour was beautiful and the kick of the Chili was just right, the only down side was at the end of eating all these we felt like we could easily fit another one as we weren't very full. At the end we all ordered a tiramisu which apparently they don't use any alcohol in it, pretty good I'd say, definitely ticked my Italian food craving off!
