Locatelli Italian Restaurant – Westgate (Auckland) – In liquidation

(6 customer reviews)

  • Love a good Italian style pizza
  • Great service
  • One of the newest restaurants in the area
  • Romantic ambience
  • Ravioli & Gnocchi made inhouse

** Update
Unfortunately Locatelli has gone into liquidation, and this information is no longer relevant

Locatelli is an Italian restaurant located in Westgate shopping centre on the North West side of Auckland.

With a classy fit out by the owner himself that took 78 days to set up, the Locatelli decor is fresh, yet comfortable, with leather chairs and padded booth style seating throughout.

The Locatelli Westgate Menu (current at time of listing) for dinner includes classic Italian options such as Antipasti and Pizzas, as well as pasta, and even make their own Ravioli and Gnocchi. Look for the menu tab on this page also for the menu or click on the blue font for more info.

The wine list was reasonable, with many of the wines from Italy (we couldn’t go past the Montepuciano) and a few local wines on offer as well. We tried the Pork Meatballs entree, with Gnocchi and Beef Ravioli for mains, which comes highly recommended.

    After checking the menu online, we went to Locatelli with great expectations, and weren’t disappointed in the least. As entrees we had arancini and crostini with duck prosciutto. Both subtle and tasty at the same time, and quite abundant, so we kept some bread from the crostini for the coming dishes. We followed with a ravioli piemontese and a fish soup, perfect to dunk the crostini leftovers. Ravioli deserve a special mention for the rich reduction of veal jus, possibly the best I’ve had anywhere. No room left for more, but still managed to squeeze a shared portion of a perfect tiramisu. We’ll be back, we are Italians.

    + PROS: Nice ambience, kind and professional service, reasonable prices

    The most amazing authentic food ever!!! Not only was the menu extensive and yummy, the chef made a personalised visit to us and explained how authentic and home made the food was (the lobster broth takes 3 days)!! Lovely lovely owners, chef and staff. And we were treated to a taste of the upcoming chef special which is a must. The service and wine is perfect. We are deffinately going back asap!!

    + PROS: Everything!!! Amazing!! Look no further for an amazing experience. 100% highly recommened!!

    Loved it the first time then went back last night with friends and was so disappointed and embarrassed after recommending the food. Has the ownership changed? My sympathy’s for the waitress who was doing her best but had to keep apologising. Saturday night 6.30pm and virtually empty so shouldn’t be any excuses.
