lunch

Set in Mangawhai, Northland, Pasta e Basta champions the simple joys of Italian-inspired cooking. It’s about honest flavours and unhurried moments.

On the dinner menu, there’s a carbonara pizza crowned with egg yolk and pepper, alongside the playfully named Bianca Neve with pepperoni, black truffle, and rocket.

The selection also features a range of pizzas from the blue-cheese-infused Rio to the savoury Buonissima, while pasta enthusiasts can enjoy bowls of pasta al pomodoro and pasta alla carbonara.

To accompany the mains, crunchy polenta chips, truffle fries, and jalapeno cheese bites add snacking fun.

Casual and welcoming, it’s ideal for tasty plates, catch-ups, and lingering over dinner. Make a date, bring an appetite and let the twirling, slicing, and savouring begin!
