My daughter and I dined before heading to the ballet. It's handy to Wellington theatres and service is prompt. My only reservation is that restaurant tables are close so you can hear what other diners are chatting about. The food was very good, would dine there again.

I hadnt been here in a few years but remembered it being so delicious and thought i must go back. This time I ordered the fish and I have to say sadly I was not impressed it did not taste fresh was quite disappointing I also felt it wasnt as luxurious looking as when I first dined here. As we a spoilt for choice in wellington I cant see myself going back here for a while

A group of eight, we ordered a mix of dishes but each was delivered around the same time and warm. Each meal was filling and tasted good. Service was great. Decor is stunning and a little overwhelming but soon forgotten once the food arrived. And the price was very reasonable, meaning great value all round.

We (a group of 3) arrived half an hour before we were due to see a movie - never a smart move at one of the more popular Wellington restaurants. There's a coupe of reasons Osterio del Toro is so popular - the fantastic food, especially the pizzas, and the service. On this night both were outstanding. After asking our waiter what the chances were of getting a pizza before we had to leave to see our movie ("no problem, no problem. What movie?") we were kept informed of it's progress - possibly unnecessary, as it arrived within 10 minutes. Our waiter also took a keen interest in what we were off to see, how our days had gone, and one of the groups jewellery... What should have been a quick bite and dash was transformed into a memorable evening by one amusing and inquisitive waiter and a stunning (and quick) meaty Berlusconi pizza.

OMG - Have the goat! SOOO YUMMY! We went there for my husband's birthday in October 2010. Everyone enjoyed their meal and they handled our table of 7 well. I guess perhaps the wait staff could be a bit more involved/friendly. But yes the decor is luscious - go there and be wowed. Loved it!

We went in on a saturday night, very busy. We all met in the bar and have a drink to start. The Maitre D was excellent. We got a table quickly and ordering followed with knowledgeable and friendly staff. The food arrived in good time, the prawns were delicious! The Pizza's too were good. The Haloumi dish was a great show. The goat dish was not as flavoursome as we had had before.An Italian wait staff explained the dessert menu and drinks to match with them. Some of us took her advice with the digestives. I noticed on other tables the food was raised on stands to create space on the tables- a great idea. Dinner over we moved to the bar, in hind sight we should have stayed at the table as they seemed short staffed so getting served took over 15 minutes. The decor is great, you really do feel that you are somewhere else. We all have a great night and look forward to going again sometime soon.

Good venue, great atmosphere. Catered for a table of 14 very well. Food was good quality. Bathrooms are well worth a visit!

Nothing at all to write home about - the decor is nice, beer is nice but the service is sloppy, unorganised and slow and the meals are nothing special.

Had a fantastic experience here. Really authentic and flavourful food that are gorgeous in their simplicity. The waiting staff are knowledgable and know how to provide great info, a good laugh and some fantastic drink matches with food! Would not hesitate to come back and try a few different things!
