Reviews
"This restaurant was my husband choice coz he's been kept coming and he always mentioned I would love the place coz I like Italian food...I celebrated my Birthday with our friend and it's simple celebration with important people...I appreciated everything love the ambience...price reasonable and yummy"
"Wonderful Italian cuisine in the heart of Christchurch. Cosy ‘bistro’ ambience, with a wood-fired oven for Neapolitan style pizzas. We loved our pastas and the market fish of the day."
"The vegetarian gnocchi was yummy! Not a strong Gorgonzola flavor. The mushroom pasta was everyone’s favorite! The pizzas were okay. Braised beef gnocchi delicious!"
"if you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience with outstanding food, wine, and service, look no further than Francesca's Italian Kitchen. And if you're a fan of gnocchi, be sure to order it - you won't regret it!"
"It used to be best Italian restaurant in South Island and we used to go there regularly, it even had dedicated vegan menu under previous management. Now it’s an average place with always same never changing menu and almost nothing to chose from if you are vegan. Out of all options pizza is decent as it’s freshly and properly baked in oven. Wine options are quite good too."
