Best authentic Italian in Queenstown.

'Get in my belly'!! That was certainly the motto of the night for us whilst dining at Farelli's. The vegan menu is amazing. The arancini balls are the most tasty balls I've ever put into my mouth :0)
Loved the pizzas also and the garlic bread has definitely improved. Top notch munch!

Had such a great first table experience here. The staff were friendly. The food came so fast and it was delish. The restaurant was clean. Will dine here again. Thanks you

Went for lunch here yesterday! We wouldn’t have known this place existed if it wasn’t for first table and I’m glad we found it as their vegan options for pizza and pasta are amazing! 10/10 service as well and a really good atmosphere/experience all round!

Having eaten here many times before, I knew what to expect and was looking forward to the beautiful food and friendly staff. This night was no different. The vegan menu left us salivating and we ordered a hefty amount of food for two people. When we asked the waitress would it be too much, she was honest rather than trying to oversell. We went with our feast anyway. Unfortunately the arancini were out of stock (much to our disappointment) but when our meal arrived, the waitress said the chef's found some for us. So kind! We enjoyed the polenta fries, arancini, cheesy garlic bread, salami pizza on the specials board, a couple of glasses of wine, chocolate cake and pannacotta for dessert. We left very full and very happy. The flavours were amazing and the staff were very attentive and helpful. Will always be back for more. Thanks for providing such awesome vegan food and for writing which wines are vegan on the menu. It's a real luxury!

This place never fails! The food is delicious and the staff were kind and helpful. This is our favourite place in Queenstown to eat with or without the kids.

Best Italian I have ever had! Really lovely dining atmosphere and friendly & attentive wait staff. Pasta was off-the-scale amazing and pizza was crispy with heaps of Prosciutto. Unfortunately too full for dessert, but looking forward to another visit next time in Queenstown!
Amy Stewart - dined at Farelli's Trattoria on 8 January 2019
Absolutely delicious, im usually all about the pizza, but tried the gnocchi for a change and was so glad that I did. It was so soft and moorish, It was hard to put my fork down! Service as always super friendly, so looking forward to heading back.

Bellissimo
Just had an amazing lunch here on a rainy cold day in Queenstown. Service by lovely American Caroline and cheeky Italian Manuel. Absolutely wonderful Italian Trattoria food with great gluten free options. In fact...I never had a better gluten free linguini with the freshest tiger prawns so perfectly balanced with lemon, garlic and olive oil. Had to opt out of the chilles due to naughty gut loved the organic Italian house wine. Belissimo!

Farelli's never disappoints. Really incredible food and our server was super amazing at helping me decide (I really like all food so I'm indecisive). She even suggested combining a few things so basically created my own dish.
Can't wait to go back, hopefully this time I'll have room for dessert - Tiramisu is calling my name! Only issue was returning back to work for the afternoon in a severe carb coma.
Hope Marson - dined at Farelli's Trattoria on 17 August 2018
Farelli’s is amazing! The vegan options are great and the waitress explained the special and then afterwards pointed out which desserts were vegan also. All three courses were delicious (especially the cashew cream cheese and olive tapenade bruschetta!) and we were looked after really well.
100% going to be heading back to Farelli’s in the future.

Excellent service, lovely food and atmosphere. Seated just outside the restaurant which meant we could have dog and the waiter was very accommodating by supplying water for our dog.

Our first time at Farelli's and we weren't disappointed! I had the special of the day, a squid ink linguine with seafood and a beautifully cooked fillet of fish which was delicious. My friend had the vegan Bolognese which was also great. Farelli's has a full vegan menu which is a big selling point. Also a good selection of local wines. We'll be back again soon =)

Great food and service
Masami Nakai - dined at Farelli's Trattoria on 23 October 2019
We were so happy to discover a Queenstown restaurant with a dedicated vegan menu. Just seeing a progressive establishment that isn't fixed on the mindset that meals have to contain pieces of dead animal is very exciting.
The menu (vegan) was varied and delicious. Our seafood eating companions also had beautiful food.
Meg McKenzie - dined at Farelli's Trattoria on 24 October 2019
I visited Farelli's with my husband. It was our first visit and had a wonderful experience, the food was authentic, service was very good, ambience was too good.
Loved the pizza and arancini.
Will definitely visit again with family.
Poonam Sadnani - dined at Farelli's Trattoria on 22 October 2019
The food and service were both excellent. We shared arancini and then both had the tiger prawn linguine. Absolutely delicious, good portion size and great value. Accompanied by 500ml of the house Sangiovese. Also delicious.
We were there on a Tuesday lunch but the restaurant was more than half full, so there was great atmosphere too. The staff (including chef) interaction with all the customers was brilliant. The chef came out and explained something in Italian to one table of three and the staff seemed genuinely concerned to make sure all customers had a positive and memorable dining experience, which we certainly did.
