Not just a meals, a trip back to Italy

We read some reviews and decided to give it a go. Rafaello’s service was prompt and entertaining, would take time white each table to connect and ensure they were having a good time. The food was great, took me back to dinner with my Italian...grandparents and my trip through Italy! The perfect selection of wines to match and carefully selected. Will definitely come back!More

Wow!

Amazing service and stunning food. We will definitely be back. I am already planning my next meal. We were treated like regulars even though it was our first time.

Ridiculous

This is the most amazing, ridiculous culinary value in New Zealand. Since I live in Timaru, I do not get good Italian restaurant food without leaving town. So anything legitimate Italian is a plus for me. But we had such a great meal at Babagatto...on Friday night we came back for a lunch the next day. The BEST restaurant dining, at any price, I have had in several years. And the hospitality is above and beyond. Do not miss.More

A memorable Italian meal

My 8 yr old daughter and I had an awesome early evening experience with authentic Italian food. The host was awesome, very welcoming and accommodating of a special request for pasta olio and Parmigiano. The tagliatelli was delicious, the wine awesome. Tiramisu and coffee also...and very fine grappa. Great service, great food, great experience. Thanks Babagatto.More

Rang up, just in town g do or the night.

Rang up, just in town for the evening, very appropriate meal for a warm evening, simple tasteful food, both in presentation and in the mouth, good service, friendly and knowledgeable, staff hardworking. Everything just so even to the cool enough water. Ravioli, just great.

Nice food and great staff

Awesome service! We were seated promptly even without reservation, and the enthusiastic waiter (later found out his name was Raf) was very welcoming and funny. Nice atmosphere. We ordered homemade pork pasta and lasagna, and tiramisu for dessert. The food itself was good, but I...think the amount could have been bigger (we paid $13 for a small mug of tiramisu). But other than that, our experience was great! The waiter occasionally checked in with us (me and my sister) and we shared good talks.More
