Andiamo

This review is rather belated - but I wanted to let it reflect on Andiamo. We booked for a team farewell and received a wonderful experience. Not only was the food very satisfying, Benjamin went out of his way to accommodate our group and provided a genuinely hospitable service - topped with a special surprise I had not anticipated. Carbonara was authentic (have not had many better in Auckland), fish had great texture, entrees flavourful. A shame I didn't get to try the green clam spaghetti which seems to have been a seasonal menu and now a different variation - it looked too good on the neighbouring table. Overall proper, attentive dishes that justify eating out. Tasteful ambience. I feel this restaurant is managed by someone with a heart that wants to gift customers joy through what he has to offer - what hospitality is and should be all about. Definitely returning on visits home, and looking forward to more beautiful food.

Food was absolutely amazing and the service was even better. Didn’t catch the waiters name but was one of the best serviced dining experiences we have had. He had great recommendations and was attentive throughout the evening. The cod meat balls and bistecca steak were divine! Would recommend to anyone seeking a fine dining experience with quality and comfort. 😊

We popped in yesterday (Saturday lunchtime) when our other usual spots were busy. We were seated immediately inside by the maitre d', who was friendly and efficient without being gushy. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing and very helpful. We ordered drinks which came quickly and were well presented. We ordered the fish, the crayfish and cod meatballs, and the clams with pasta. They had no issue providing a gluten free option for my husband. There was wait for our meals but not ridiculously long and the delicious food was worth it. Everything we ordered was perfect for lunch. The restaurant itself had a minimalist comfortable feel. My only criticism would be we requested an inside table because I get cold easily and we were seated next to the bi fold doors which were opened part way through our visit meaning I could feel the wind but not the sun. However this was easily resolved by borrowing a few blankets from the outside tables. We found the food and service excellent and will be back

Me and my friends came here recently. The food was really good and reasonably priced for a nice restaurant. I loved how the flavours in each dish complimented each other and they made the spice/heat in each dish really manageable (my friend that hates spice was able to try everything). Will be returning.
