Fabulous

My wife and I were celebrating my birthday and decided to have dinner at Formaggio’s restaurant. Great choice. We loved our starters and the main dishes were outstanding. The team at Formaggio’s were very attentive and helpful with our selections. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great service

great prices, me and a friend shared so many dishes loved it. Amazing dessert too! Only thing we did not like is that it was super loud, the hall kind of echoes but everything else was great.

You can tell that this restaurant really cares about the quality of the food and experience they provide. Vegan menu is amazing with...lots of divine options. Beautiful!More

Perfect meal, ambience and staff

The meal was absolutely beautiful, the ambience was lovely, but mostly the staff were what made our night so pleasant. Hana and Marcus were just wonderful and so attentive.

Best Italian Food For a Long Time!

Not being a food critic myself, and neither herself and themselves with me either, we were open minded, but we all agreed that it was the best Italian food we had eaten since Italy. It was all seasoned properly, delicious and presented in good time...by the excellent, friendly front of house team. Formaggios doesn't aim to be a Michelin star restaurant, just to serve great food in pleasant surroundings at which it excels. The size of the pizza even stumped the young one, which is saying something! Excellent evening out and no sour grapes from these happy diners!More

Great italian restaurant in christchurch. Lovely atmosphere, great service and yummy food!

One of the best Italian restaurants in Christchurch. I had from here the risotto ai funghi, della casa salad, spaghetti bolognese and the yummy ortolana and salmone pizza. I also had a really yummy tiramisu. I saw that formaggio has lots of vegetarian, vegan and...GF options for who needs it. Lovely atmosphere, great service and food!More
