Delicious pasta

I ordered the pumpkin gnocchi for my main and a mocktail (the Italian stallion). The mocktail was delicious. I enjoyed the pumpkin gnocchi and the size of the plate was huge. I enjoyed the seeds that were in the pasta too to provide the crunch. I couldn’t resist the tiramisu inspired cheesecake. I prefer a bit of a stronger coffee flavour but it was still nice.

My partner loved the ragu.

Really good Italian food!!

Food here is delicious and best of all, it's vegan! The restaurant itself has a good vibe. We ordered polenta sticks as starters and for main course we got the Alfredo pasta and the gnocchi. For dessert, we tried the cheesecake and the Affogato. All so good!

Pros: Lots to choose from, Nice restaurant , Located in city center

Lovely Venue, Inedible Fare

The decor, ambience and service here is lovely. So i was expecting food to match.

I’d bet my life on the fact that: a) the chefs here are not vegan, or even vegetarian; and b) they never taste their food.

I started with the Caesar Salad, planning to order something more substantial or dessert afterwards. The presentation was lovely, and the serving size was pretty reasonable.

I’m not sure how anyone can stuff up something as basic as a salad, but these guys managed to. It was literally like a bowl of solid fat with some green leaves mixed through it. I was going to leave it after the first mouthful, but couldn’t face having to explain how bad it was, all the hassle etc; so i sloughed through the bowl of vegan lard and left, never to return.

Pros: Ambience, Decor, Service

Cons: Horrendously bad food

Great options & service

Went for dinner & made a reservation online, arrived around 7:30 and were offered any table we wanted, candle lit and very aestheticlly pleasing, staff were lovely and the menu had heaps of options, I accidentally ordered the wrong pizza but it was still delicious, my non vegan friend ordered the Alfredo pasta and fries, she loved it, we both had ice chocolates which were surprisingly cheap and very flavourful, which I stayed in Wellington for longer would have gone back every night

Pros: Great variety and options, Really good prices, Great staff

What delicious meal!

I was thrilled by how delicious my meal was. I had the Pasta Alla Vodka, and the Berry Filo. I had a very happy tummy by the end.

Particularly good Pasta

Alla Vodka and Alfredo ordered.
I always find Alfredo a touch sickly, still quite rich but one of the best I've had, the hemp ficken was lovely. The alla Vodka was tasty. Glad we shared as Alfredo nights have been too rich for only portion. A nice carafe of syrah to wash them down

Delicious and all vegan

Love this place and will come back here whenever I’m in Wellington :)

We had the Tartufo Pizza with red onion, the Reuben croquettes and the Patatine pizza with a gluten-free base. Everything was really really good.

Fav vegan place in welly

I love this place, I've been a few times over the years when I've visited Welly. The pizzas are so good, but the carbonara fries might be my fav, I love the ceaser salad too. I was so happy when I got to take my family so we could share!

Nolita

Service was really good. Abit disappointed by the "Tofu Scramble" thought i was getting toast and tofu scramble. Ended up with what looks like a cheese pizza with a sprinkle of tofu. Not what I expected but ate it anyway. Don't like to waste food. Tasted fine. But not worth the 19 dollar's. Should have got a pie from Z 😄

Pros: Service great, The location is good.

Cons: Food had vegan cheese on it. But didn't say that, On the menu

A bit disappointing.

My daughter suggested that this would be a good place for dinner on a Friday evening. I decided to try it.
I asked for the mushroom linguine. It should have been amazing, but, unfortunately, there was a liberal sprinkling of cocktail pickled onions which completely overwhelmed the subtle flavours of the dish. The serving left me wishing that I had ordered an entre.
That said, the service was
efficient and friendly. Still, given the plethora of other options nearby, I will probably look elsewhere next time I am in the area.

Pros: Friendly vibe., Good service.

Cons: REALLY odd choice of pickled onions in a pasta.

Popular for a good reason

The burger with beer battered banana blossom (Burger Nation - not frying Nemo) is incredible. They do a dough for pizza over 48h which you can really taste. The tomato base is fruity and delicious. Best pizza we had in 6 months travelling through New Zealand.
You can reserve a table online (and probably should especially on weekends).

Pros: Fast service , Delicious food

Cons: Loud when busy

Absolutely incredible

I haven’t eaten fish in over 9 years and the banana blossom burger tasted exactly how I remember batter fish to taste it was incredible! My partner had a pizza and also said it was delicious.

Such amazing food!

From the amazing range on the menu to the scrumptious pizzas and the charming and stylish setting, this restaurant is an absolute must visit in Wellington. It was so hard to choose from all the appealing options on the menu but we thoroughly enjoyed the Pollo pizza and the spaghetti carbonara, plus their herb aioli makes their fries a little bit special too. Can’t wait to visit again as it was such a treat to enjoy such a range of authentic Italian dishes in an all vegan restaurant.

Pros: Delicious food, Great range on menu, Beautiful setting in restaurant

Cons: Can’t think of any cons, this place is amazing!

Best gnocchi I’ve ever eaten

Staff were so friendly, such a gorgeous little spot with nice outside seating and the menu all looked so amazing. Just moved to Wellington so will definitely be back, but I had the gnocchi this time and I could have eaten 2 more bowls honestly was so good. Can’t wait to try the desserts next time too.

Pros: Friendly staff, Great atmosphere , Amazing food

Nolita

We stopped by Nolita spontaneously and luckily got a table. I would definitely recommend making a reservation though. We both had a tea which tasted really good and then ate a pizza. There was a pizza Margherita and a cheeseburger pizza. We thought it was really tasty! The service was also very friendly and attentive.

Pros: Completely vegan, Friendly staff , Fair price

Divine restaurant

This is one of my favourite restaurants in the world. It’s beautiful inside and there’s always a great atmosphere. Being able to choose from a full vegan Italian menu is a dream for me and the food is exceptional.

Best vegan pizza I've had

The pizza was fantastic. I especially loved the cashew mozzarella, which they didn't try to make stringy by adding way too much starch. What a win! I had the tartufo pizza, and it was top notch.

The restaurant had a great ambience, as well, and has a great location. Not to mention, the excellent lunch deal (see image below) from 12 to 3 pm on weekdays.

Pros: Cashew mozzarella, Pizza base, Great flavour

Good but half the menu was unavailable

Unfortunately there was no pizza dough available when we came here, so we were only able to choose from pasta and burgers - which were good! Similar story with desserts as the only thing available was ice cream. The food was very good but it was disappointing not to be able to have pizza as Nolita is known for great vegan pizza!

Pros: Nice food

Awesome pizza!

Brilliant selection of pizzas, pastas, and cocktails. Thoroughly enjoyed my food and was sad I didn't have any room left for a dessert!

Staff were friendly and dealt with a very busy evening extremely well.

Be sure to book in advance!
