" A very refreshing dining experience. Just what you would hope to get from an authentic family run Italian restaurant. Love it! "

" Had a dinner here. We got entrees for the table the rosemary bread, olives and pizza bread with tomato sauce were all really good. I especially loved the olives! For main I had the Savoy pizza which I loved. It was unusual to have the cheese under the shaved ham but it was so yummy. Pizza base was perfect. For dessert I ordered the tiramisu which was a let down. It was weird it was laid on its side and the biggest layer was ice cream which must of defrosted then refroze as it was icey. Then one layer of sponge which was a little stale and a layer of whipped cream thank goodness that was fresh! Others on my take ordered the lemon whipped cheesecake and said it was really lovely though. I'd come back for the pizza alone though. Service for us was a little clumsy our mains arrived before they had cleared away the entrees and it took a while to order dessert but otherwise good service. "

" Unfortunately found a hair in the starter. That was quite disappointing. The mains, two dishes of pasta, were very average. Not good really. Kind staff and great location, however. Just this! One star at best. "

" Great location. Close to 'downtown' Dunedin. Through a doorway off the street, up a nondescript flight of stairs through double doors and your view explodes into a huge Victorian room, bustling with people, light and life. Warmly greeted by a lovely chap who showed us to our table. A charming waitress took our drinks, and later our food order. The 500ml carafe of really quite decent wine for ten dollars has got to be the bargain of the century. Everything is fabulous. There is a 'but' coming.
The pizzas are shocking.
It seems like the chef puts oil on the pizzas before cooking them. The base comes out like a fried biscuit with no risen edge. A golden yellow fried colour with a greasy finish.
I'll leave it at that. It's such a shame. The place and the people are so good. "
