La Zeppa

In the heart of Auckland City Centre, La Zeppa invites you to a rooftop escape where the flavours soar as high as the skyline views.

Perched above the bustling streets, La Zeppa's decor harmonises industrial chic with rustic warmth. Exposed beams and vibrant murals set the stage for an evening where a glass of wine feels just right as you sink into an ambience that's both trendy and welcoming.

Kick off your evening with the tapas selection, where the warm olives dance with fennel, orange, and thyme, creating an orchestra of flavours. Or let the crispy chicken bites with a zing of pomegranate and lemon wake up your taste buds. For something heartier, the lamb skewers galzed with cumin with fresh chimichurri is a must-try, while the grilled halloumi salad with grape and green bean offers a refreshing twist. And don't miss the smoked kahawai pate where the radish adds a peppery touch to each bite.

The pasta and meat sections deliver equally impressive plates, including the lamb ragu pappardelle with saffron and pecorino and braised short rib with smoked potato. Vegetarian diners will be glad to know that La Zeppa have dishes perfect for them, with the likes of gnocchi made with creamy agria potatoes dressed with smoked feta and kale pesto provolone on offer.

No rooftop rendezvous is complete without the clinking of glasses, and La Zeppa's drink selection promises a perfect pairing. Whether it's a crisp beer, a refreshing cider, or a beautifully composed cocktail, each sip complements the experience laid out before you. And as the sun dips below the skyline, raising a glass of their curated wine selection feels like the final brushstroke on a masterpiece of an evening.
