Excellent Pizza, they have a rotation of favorites and new seasonal Pizzas every time I go there…read more Having lived in NYC for years this hits the spot when nothing else will do! My favorite is the mushroom (with capers?) and Chorizo. I even love that they have fancy sodas and the right nyc style shakers for the chilli flakes and herbs! Just missing the garlic powder and parmesan. Very popular spot but if you time it right you can sit out the back in the courtyard during golden hour, and listen to musicians next door practicing.

Dudes. This pizza is the closest I've had to New York style pizza outside New York/Jersey. Also,…read morethere are tons of vegan options, which don't come around too often in small beach towns. The crust is so crunchy and the sauce to toppings ratio is just the dopest. Great pizza and a super reasonable price. Love it.

It's always a bit of a crap shoot when vacationing and trying to find a good spot for dinner…read more Emporium was a winner for us today. We made a reservation online although when we arrived it wasn't too busy and we were able to get a seat outside on the sidewalk. As most places do not have A/C in town, this was preferable to the somewhat warm restaurant. Our nice server Michaela took good care of us and made some good food recommendations. We started with the prawn toasts (indescribable but REALLY good), then followed with Fish and chips (light and good) and the coconut chicken salad which was shaved cucumber, poached chicken, coconut, and peanuts with a light refreshing dressing-quite good (according to my spouse). A bottle of Rose topped things off. The menu has quite a lot of choices so it should be easy for most people to find something that interests them. Nice food, nice service, nice meal.

Location is great, in the heart of the Art Deco city center, a half block from the tourist…read moreinformation office. Service was fine. A little inattentive, but we got everything we asked for, we just had to ask for everything. We had fish and chips. There was a lot of fish, flaky and perfectly cooked. The chips (fries for us Americans) were really really good, seasoned and crispy outside, potato-y inside. All-in-all, a welcoming a reasonable lunch.

Super delicious and complex flavors applied to usual favorites. Great spot right on the water.read more

In general I feel like Neopolitan pizza is just the best already. I mean I feel like the rest of…read moreItaly should just not even bother and stick to just pasta, but I digress. At Alessandro's they have a calzone that's pretty solid, and unfortunately they don't automatically give you a side of marinara with it, but if you just order it separately believe me, that alone will more than make up for the oversight. Alessandro's marinara was stop-your-heart delicious. My wife was really enjoying her pizza as well obvs. The service was pretty great too, but seriously ... those pizzas. If you go to Havelock you HAVE to go to Alessandro's. I think I'll try the pasta next time.

This is easily one of the coolest restauants I have ever sat inside. The pink and red rustic theme…read moreis fantastic and you truly feel like you could be somewhere in Italy. Such a cool atmosphere. Food was delicious but quickly regretted not ordering the pizzas which made my mouth water as waitresses whizzed them past our table. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal nonetheless, a great night out, definitely recommend a visit here if you're in Havelock North. The focus of utilizing the best in-season, mostly organic produce makes this a winner of a restauant.

We were trying to decide where to eat in Napier. We decided on Italian so we went to this place…read more The owner is from northern Italy so that was a good start. I ordered some garlic bread followed by lasagna. The bread was very good and when the lasagna came I was anticipating a good meal. It was great! This was a great evening. The owner stopped by the table often and the waitress was very helpful too. Did I say this was a great meal! We dined in Mar 2017.
