8. Alpino Mount Maunganui
Overall Ratings
5 based on 22 reviews
Modern Italian restaurant / Bar. Perfect for relaxed and casual dining in great atmosphere
Reviewed By OrganicKat
Alpino is like stepping into a different world from the busy Mount highstreet, this place slows you down and makes you relax. You'll always get excellent and friendly service, combine this with a nice atmosphere and interior. The wine list along with the drinks are a reminder of a summer holiday in southern Europe, even popping in for a drink is worthwhile. But the food is simply exquisite and a Mount favourite at the moment. Ideal for dinners with family and friends as there is minimal noise bouncing around here, from loud background music and others chatting. You can hear conversations around your table here! Dinner by yourself and the bar is an ideal place to have dinner without feeling you're on your own.

7. Mamma Mia Italian Restaurant

Inspired by family recipes with simple ingredients and full of flavour, Mamma Mia is all about love for food. It is about sharing good moments with your favourite people at the heart of the Mount.

Ordered takeaway through the deliver easy service. Was notified by deliver easy that mama Mia had said there would be delays which I had no problem with. Food arrived eventually and was utterly disappointing. Lacking in seasoning and flavour. Seafood in the pasta was over cooked and the pasta was absolutely drenched in oil. Pizza was bland. Contacted the owner to notify him of my concerns and was told he would notify the chef but that I should contact deliver easy- which seems pointless as they have nothing to do with preparation of the food and they had already offered me free delivery on my next order due to the late delivery. Pic attached of the amount of oil in the pasta

Rustic & quirky decor. Waiting staff are efficient & friendly. This isnât a special occasion restaurant but it is unpretentious serving basic Italian fayre. If you feel hungry & fancy a pizza this place fits the bill. Pizza & pasta is an inspiration. Great for a quick meal or a takeaway.

We live near this beautiful refurbished hotel/restaurant/bar. This was our first visit and it felt very special. We dressed up ,reserved a table and were there for 6pm.A sitting is for 2 hours. The food and service were top quality. Our party left early only due to the noise,as the restaurant was fully booked and some patrons were loud.The wood floors didn't help with the noise.We will go back ,perhaps on a week night when the party girls are not.

Visited a week ago early evening as an alternative to our usual perchance for lighter fare and was pleasantly surprised. We had a few dishes in succession and particularly enjoyed the steak, which was cooked to perfection. Service was attentive and not obtrusive and as it was our first visit, it was nice to experience some relatively authentic Italian dishes. Would have rated higher except for the shrimp cocktail, which definitely needs a revamp, including fresh house cocktail sauce and better quality shrimps. My only criticism as we would recommend and return.

We wondered in on a Saturday night looking for a table for two. The Barman did say they were full but had us sit down at the bar while he looked for a table. We were given a table up stairs by the window. Wonderful setting. Very Italian and the food was very tasty. We chose a bottle of Shiraz which was also wonderful. One of the best Italian meals we have had. The veal Marsala was devine. Thank you for making our night wonderful. We are so glad you enjoyed your meal here with us ! Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate
