The restaurant is a combination of shop, warehouse, bar and a restaurant. The staff is friendly and not fake Italian :-) the atmosphere is fantastic. We had a family dinner there and I have never got so good tiramisu. The menu has enough to choose from and wines are excellent. You can also buy food and stuff to take home. It is busy, relaxed and fun place to dine. Excellent for family reunions and having fun with friends. If you are after good, authentic food, italian soft craziness and just great atmosphere this is a must. It is a good idea to book a table! It gets crowded there.

I'm sharing this to highlight the hiring practices here. Last Thursday, I was brought in for a…read moreone-hour trial. I assisted a server and provided professional support to tables for the duration of the hour. Afterward, the manager asked for my availability, which I sent that evening, but I have been completely ghosted since. It became clear that this "trial" was less about assessing my years of service experience and more of a "vibe check" based on their specific aesthetic. Using experienced professionals for unpaid labor--even for an hour--is a major red flag. I recommend that industry professionals be cautious, and that ethical diners who care about fair labor practices support businesses that value experience over appearances

Wow not sure what happened to this place, it used to be legendary and we have frequented there for…read moredecades. Now both the quality and service is pretty rubbish, on par with Dominos. Tonight we received an order that was completely wrong. All three pizzas were unrecognisable from what we ordered and looked vegetarian when we ordered all 3 with meat. Two had copious amounts of gherkins and one was covered in chilli. They all look like pretty sad cheap pizzas to be honest. They were so inedible they went straight in the bin. They were delivered through Deliver Easy, but when they checked they definitely had the right order. We called Pepe's to advise the mistake and to their credit, they agreed to remake the order. However they advised Deliver Easy that they wouldn't remake it until Deliver easy had confirmed with us, who advised they couldn't get through to our registered number, despite the fact it was correct in their system and we checked that the line was working. What a farce. The previous owners would be horrified to know what has become of this once very cool and delicious restaurant.

Malthouse is one of the best beer bars in Wellington, a city already known for great beer. It has a…read moremixed modern and contemporary vibe, it's cozy and fun. Tables and booth seating are along the left wall, with a large bar taking up the right. They have a great tap list of local/NZ beer, plus cans/bottles, and food. The night I planned to come in I was running a little late, but even though it was close to closing, they let me in and were welcoming. I also had such a fun time meeting brewers from Australia in town for Beervana; it was a friendly place. The bartenders were great, glassware clean, and I definitely would've been back if I had more time.

Something off center has happened in the craft beer scene. I'm not sure if it's the surprising…read moreAmerican influence, or the cultural melting pot that is NZ, but NZ has been turning heads and creating quite a frenzy in the craft beer world. I even dare to say, the beer here is better than Aus. Maybe that's too bold a statement, but I'm standing by it. Malthouse is the craft beer haven epicenter of Wellington. With over 150 national and international beers, this beer bar hosts the largest range of beer in NZ. A full tap range, staple beers and rotating ones all keep this beer bar "in the know" with its ever changing selection. Behind the row of taps, is "Malty's Wall" with fridges keeping beers cooled at the right temp, ready for tasting and consuming. Many of NZ beers come from small boutique breweries, which make them harder to find outside of NZ, but Malthouse hosts a great focus on local breweries. The menu is a beer bible. I've never seen one like it. It's leather bound and very extensive, filled with beer choices and all the information to accompany such a vast beer bar. Seating is cozy with both indoor and outdoor options. High tables, bar seats, lounge tables as well. With food options, they've got the perfect munchies which compliment beer. Try their famous Ugly Bread. Or the pizza. I'm a strong believer of great beer bars having pizza. It's something about cheesy tomato bread that goes so well with beer. All in all, this place is hands down, great.

Hubby and I went on a date night on Tuesday night to take advantage of their 3-course meal for $45…read more I ordered an Amalfi to drink or what I usually call a lemon drop, it was really good and my husband ordered a beer. We got the Margherita pizza to share as our starter which we both really liked, my husband ordered the risotto for his main and he loved it! I ordered the tagliatelle al ragu which I thought was good but would probably try something else next time. We both ordered the tiramisu for dessert which I thought was the best tiramisu I've ever had!! Yum! We had excellent customer service and we enjoyed this restaurant very much. I would recommend Fratelli to anyone wanting an evening out of delicious Italian food.

The service was lovely and although the menu offered so many delights, we both opted for the fish of the day. Our drinks came quickly, our table was in the corner of the front section and it was a great place to sit, watch the world got by and chat. Our meals came soon - even though we hadn't said we had a time constraint - we had grilled Terakihi fillet with fennel, olives and a beautiful salad. We also ordered a side salad of Rocket and Parmesan. We didn't need a dessert or coffees. By the time we left (just before 7pm) the place was fairly busy, but sitting where we were, we hadn't realised. The entire experience was very enjoyable. I am so pleased my friend chose this place. Thank you Fratelli - I'll be back.

Good coffee and a yummy apricot/lemon slice to finish. Great spot in the sun opposite the pier and beach. Easy walk across to the wellington ferry.

Food wise - not great for vegetarians and the like, although my vegetarian stack was nice enough, you have to really like eggs to eat here.
