My husband and I had a lovely meal here celebrating our wedding anniversary. The food was delicious and the service good apart from the waiter who told us we were lucky to have him as our waiter. We didn't share his sense of humour I guess. Very relaxed feel to the place. We'd return.

I visited Ombra multiple times during my stay in Wellington. The food was reasonably priced (for Wellington) and always excellent, as was the service.

We had a good evening out with friends who are Wellington locals. Tapas Plates range from about $9 to $19 dollars per plate and at least two plates per person is recommended. Food comes out in no particular order when ready. Restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and friendly service. Our food was delicious. I particularly liked the arancino and the venison meatballs. Don't go home without sampling the blueberry and basil pannacotta or the poached pear with Gorgonzola ice-cream. (Trust me on this!)

If you like little plates or tapas, Ombra has to be on the top of your list. Great service, wonderful food, quick service and a great atmosphere. Conveniently located in Cuba st, thoroughly recommend.
