When we walked past the restaurant, it smelled of amazing roasting garlic. My bf and I were…read moredetermined to try this place. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. My bf's pizza was very lacking in flavor. The crust was ok and it just seemed as though canned ingredients were thrown on top with a layer of cheese. The chicken liver was ok. It was a bit overcooked and grainy. Then my veal was off. I'm not sure what it was. What made this place barely ok was the sauces on the chicken liver and my veal. It was well seasoned, but it didn't make up for the proteins they were covering. Perhaps I should have tried something else. My family's pasta dishes were ok and wasn't spectacular. The service was really good and the location can fit large parties. Overall, I wouldn't come here again even if I lived here.

The food is always fresh and made with love and passion. The environment is a total blast, this cafe has easy parking and its plentiful, fabulous out door seating also the beginning for walking and bikes pathways. Art gallery next door. Great thrift shop behind. Facing north and flooded with sun, coffee to die for, food to delight. Go there!! The young man who owns this cafe just oozes enthusiasm. If you own a cafe near here be very worried or sharpen up you act now!! PS Free WiFi

It all looked nice and fresh but cabinet food is just not what we're into. And I certainly would never rate a cabinet good cafe higher than three stars ever. I normally wouldn't review a place I hadn't eaten at either but wanted to save other people from going out of their way as we did just now.

As a group of 5, we were having trouble finding a place to eat, but we were lucky there was a table open in this small, cute restaurant. We then proceeded to have the best meal we experienced during our 2-week trip in NZ! Tye was our server and he definitely enhanced the experience. Most of us were indecisive, but he was able to give great food recommendations. We were all very happy with everything we ordered. We tried to eat there again before we left, but they were closed the last day we were in town. Vivace is a must-try if you are looking for delicious Italian food and good service.

I took my girlfriend there for a special occasion dinner, and we loved it. Their antipasto platter is fantastic, everything you'd want from cured meats and cheeses to olives and an amazing preserve.

We also had the joy of BYOW, an Italian chianti from Wine Direct [check them out in Ponsonby/Parnell]. The wait staff was also very warm and friendly, I was eager to leave a tip. We'll be back!

Anyway thanks to Aucklands housing crisis and gentrification we can thank some cleaver clogs for buying houses in a best house worst street scenario . Because now there are some good cafes in this area . But I digress , back to the Bahn mi - the bread roll was lightly warmed and the chicken was cooked having been marinated in lemongrass . but the pate , oh my the pate !! So flavourful with the right amount of spice and the pickled vegetables had sweet parsnip and so much coriander to give it that zing . I loved every minute of eating this sandwich , I tried to eat it slow (instead of my normal inhale all food in site mode ) so I could give it a good review . There is a full menu with lots of the usual suspects of beef pho , Vietnamese summer roll and fried spring roll . But there are also fries , wedges , waffles and French toast . They have Roasted Adiqtion coffee and a selection of cold drinks . Eat here now !!!!

My favourite carbohydrate offering of theirs is the sourdough seeded baguette is amazing, crusty but not too crusty and the density and flavour of the sourdough is incredible. Pandoro also make cute little dinner rolls and mini loaves, the 5 grain mini loaf is very nice, sliced you can have miniature toast! The Normandy Rye is pretty spectacular too. The guys who work here are fantastic, always really friendly. If you're in central city this is the best place to come for bread, fresh bread from the supermarket bakery is not the same, I wouldn't buy it. You're better to pay the extra and get proper bread made from real ingredients without the 'may contain traces of milk, fish and nut products'. Gross. Pandoro make wonderful breads of fantastic quality that taste great, grab yourself some dipping oils and dukkah
