My partner and I were amazed by the excellent food and charming decor during our lunch at Eat Italy. We tried the Boss and Vege Supreme pizzas, along with a delightful tiramisu. It's truly a hidden gem.

Good wine menu with lots from Italy.
Food menu covers all bases and the pizza list is large and very well priced.
The food service was fast and efficient and the dishes we tried amazing taste and quality.
Thanks for the digestive at the end of our visit.

We ordered take away pizza (4 different ones).
Best authentic Italian pizza we ever had in NZ. They have a nice thin base and just the right amount of topping. I am happy that I finally got a pizza that didn't taste sweet.

An unlikely spot for authentic Italian cuisine, but what a pleasant surprise! Do yourself a favour and drive past all the American franchises to the lower end of Queen Street where you'd expect there to be nothing. Stray into this hidden gem and enjoy the best pizza and pasta you're likely to encounter on this island. Simple, tasty, carefully selected ingredients and attentive staff. Very highly recommend.

Delicious pizza with the perfect base and toppings. Excellent service, attended to quickly by friendly staff, pizzas all arrived at the same time for our table of four. Also were accommodating of our early arrival prior to our booking. Would recommend.

Food is always excellent and the service is first class. We usually pay a weekly visit, on Monday evenings, for the brilliant pizza. All the dishes we have tried on the menu have been of a very high standard.
If we feel like going out for a meal this is where we go. Highly recommended.

I won't be returning to Eat Italy any time soon; until they drastically improve their customer service. Wanting to support businesses in my local community I have eaten here on a few occasions. The food is good but their customer service is stocking.
On the last two times I have been here, I have been turned away, despite having booked. On the first of these occasions, I booked online via their website. When myself and my guests turned up they said they had no booking: When I said that I had booked via their website, they said "Oh that's not working"!
A couple of months later I again booked on their website. This time I received a message back saying it was booked. Great, I thought. Unfortunately one of our party got held up at work and messaged me to say they'd be late. This was two hours before our booking. I called the restaurant immediately. No one answered but I left a voice message explaining the situation and asking if we cool a push the booking to an hour later. I asked them to call back to confirm. I never received a call so proceeded to the restaurant.
Upon arrival there was no knowledge of my call, the restaurant was full and we were told that they couldn't accomodate us. I asked if they could please check with the owner, whom I could see in the kitchen. The waitress came back with the same answer - no tables available. I pointed out that I had called earlier and left a voice message and asked whose job it was to check the messages. She said all of them. When questioned as to why they hadn't checked she replied that the phone had no credit so they couldn't check!! I was totally flabbergasted and as this was the second such mess up, I am shocked at their lack of business sense & customer service.
So, in short, I won't be back, and would like to warn others that this may also happen to them. Even an apology and an offer of a free glass of wine or similar would have been better than an outright ‘no, go away’ attitude. Come on Eat Italy. Up your game.
