Casa Bella

Casa Bella offers relaxed Italian dining on Karangahape Road. Opening in January 2026, the restaurant was created with a simple goal in mind: good food, good company, and flavours that feel familiar and comforting. Casa Bella isn’t about fine dining; it’s a family favourite designed for return visits.

The menu focuses on Italian classics. Starters are simple and satisfying, with options like prawn cocktail or bruschetta topped with ripe tomatoes, basil, garlic, and parmesan on crisp bread. Pasta dishes are hearty and comforting, from a traditional spaghetti carbonara to a rich pollo risotto. Mains follow the same straightforward approach, including pollo alla marsala and beef fillet with cracked pepper, served alongside patatine fritte and a fresh mixed salad.

Pizza plays a central role, with everything from a classic margherita to a generous frutti di mare. Whether it’s a quick midweek meal or a relaxed evening with friends, Casa Bella is a place to slow down, share a few plates, and enjoy good food in good company.
