Giovi Fine Food - Cadrona New Zealand

Foccacia was so good it was finished before I remembered to take photos. Also the vegetarian lasagna was delicious! Dessert portions were huge so need to share next time. Nice and speedy service with authentic Italian atmosphere.

Humble and hearty kind of home made style authentic Italian foods . its taste is like an old grandmother cooks for her family. Loved it

One of our best Italian foods we had so far! Even I think better than our experiences in Italy! The food is very delicious. Same for drinks, the fig jam and tiramisu!

We were here for a stop over en route to Christchurch, and was surprised to see a quaint little restaurant tucked in the corner of Queenstown, after a short read on the review on Google, we have just got to give it a go despite not having any prior reservation. Nevertheless we were greeted by a fine gentleman by the counter who managed to squeeze us in for 50mins of dining, which is mighty fine. We ordered the tagliatelle carbonara, angus beef ravioli which was more than what i can finish, but the smell of the food lingering in the restaurant made me go for it, or suffer the regret of not even being able to taste it. It was a pleasure to see your food being cooked by the experts chiefs there moving around as if they have done this for years, and with such precision and passion for the food they presented. Upon having my first bite of the tagliatelle carbonara, it was nothing I have tried before in Singapore'(where I'm from) and same with the raviolis which left such a deep taste still inside my mouth even after we left the restaurant, which left me with a happy belly. My wife had the linguini with calms and tiramisu which she commented was nicely done and worthy of the excellent rating in Google. Well if you are around Queenstown area, do drop by and just order something from them, it might give you a new perspective between the real Italian meal and what we commonly ate which is simply passed off italian food.

Amazing Italian food! We had dinner reservation with friends at night but we have heard of this hidden Italian restaurant and got a cheeky pasta at 4pm and it was so worth it. We will definitely be back for proper dinner for sure. The service is incredible, people are friendly and we got to meet Giovi too which was a treat. Can't get better than this authentic hand-made Italian pasta. Thank you!
