Andiamo

Located in the vibrant city of Auckland, Andiamo welcomes you with Italian charm and a touch of local flair. This cosy restaurant, with warm lighting and an inviting atmosphere, offers a dining experience where traditional Italian indulgence meets Kiwi's creativity.

When you step into Andiamo, you're met with the rustic elegance characteristic of a true Italian bistro. The walls, showcasing shelves of fine wines and artisanal condiments, create the perfect setting for a meal that’s as much about the ambience as the food.

Kick off your meal with a selection of antipasti showcasing the ocean's treasures, including local oysters served with lemon and shallot vinegar. The house focaccia, accompanied by red pepper and parmesan butter, along with warm Sicilian olives, prepares you for a flavour-packed feast.

The sharing plates highlight Andiamo’s playful side. Enjoy chilli fried calamari, drizzled with 'bagna cauda' and chilli oil, or the market fish crudo, served in a green gazpacho with buttermilk and fermented chilli oil. The meatball selection – featuring grass-fed beef and a mix of cod and crayfish – can be enjoyed alone or mixed with spaghetti, blending heartiness with a hint of the sea.

Pizza lovers, celebrate! The classic Clevedon buffalo mozzarella pizza, with a simple Neapolitan tomato sauce and basil, competes for your attention with the innovative Bianca, a white base pizza topped with zucchini, mint, almond, golden raisin, and parmesan. Balance your feast with salads or sides like the truffle and parmesan potato fries or the market green vegetables, each with a unique Italian twist.

Drink-wise, Andiamo’s wine selection honours the best from local vineyards and Italian classics, expertly chosen to pair with your meal. The friendly staff are always ready to recommend the perfect wine to complement your food choices.

Whether you’re here for a casual lunch or a leisurely dinner, Andiamo is a space where every meal is special, and every visit feels like coming home.
