We've been here since 1994. Same corner of Takapuna, same handmade pasta, same welcome at the door. Classic Italian food, a full bar, and most nights there's something on — jazz, Latin, blues, the occasional act passing through Auckland. The room is warm, the menu is honest, and the music is real. Not every restaurant has live jazz on a Tuesday. This one does.
Absolutely loved this place — best pizza I've ever tasted and the customer service was just superb. Will definitely be back.

Dined on a Monday night and it was busy. Service was pretty good considering the crowd and the food came out quickly. Will be back.

Botticelli is one of the friendliest Italian restaurants on the Shore. Fabulous vibe, great entertainment from wonderful musicians and the food has never failed me. The staff and owner go out of their way to please. A must visit — they will not disappoint.

Absolutely fabulous food, service, and atmosphere. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Great Italian food and a glass of wine — this is the place.

One of the North Shore's icon restaurants. If you've never tried their food, you should. You'll become one of the many who always come back for more.
