Head down to Pioneer village and you will find a taste of Italy in a small cottage. Charming inside and the staff were attentive and courteous with the sounds of Italian vocals playing in the background. The food is reasonably priced and they also offer...vegetarian and children’s menu.along with usual Italian fare of pizza and pasta. Civo coffee was very good, and the polenta fries were scrumptious . I did note the desserts which looked absolutely Devine but it was lunch.More

Our food experience was excellent, but the reason for a 3 star was certainly let down by the front of house staff, there own conversations were far more important than serving customers, we go out for lunch to enjoy the food and atmosphere, not to...listen to high pitched girls laughing and joking.More

We stumbled across Amando’s kitchen after writing the Dunstan cycle Trail. The service was great and the food was simply delicious! We had pizza, pasta and soup and everything was amazing! Fantastic flavours and very happy customers.

Omg amazing. Best Italian food ever. Gr8 service. Wish we had this in Auckland. Highly recommend if in Cromwell

Went there for lunch, Caesar’s salad and pizza of the day were great. Coffee was made in best Italian traditions, recommended. Also met owner, who keeps his standards high. Definitely worth a stop in Cromwell

I would eat here all the time if I lived in Cromwell. We loved every dish which was cooked to perfection.

Thanks for the great food and coffee ( i want more now). Despite being a busy Easter Sunday you guys did a great job. Grazie!
