This was our first time at Pici and it was superb! Staff were super friendly, the food was phenomenal and the wine was amazing. I didn’t catch the name of the lively person that served us, but they were super helpful and even provided us with suggestions around the menu. The only fault for me was the volume of music - would’ve preferred it to be quieter to suit the quaint and rustic feel of the restaurant. Otherwise loved the food and will be back!

WOW. In the last two weeks of traveling New Zealand, I have made my way back to Pici four times now!! If I had the option I would have dined here more than four times. My friend and I found this cozy restaurant on a Friday afternoon after seeing how delicious the food looked. We spoke to a sweet individual with short hair (cute SpongeBob sweatshirt!) and they informed us we could be seated for dinner around 5:30pm. When we returned later for dinner we reviewed the menu and decided to split 3 appetizers and 3 pasta dishes accompanied with the Huntress Pinot Noir (must try!).the first appetizer we tried was the porchetta with thyme and wow it exceeded any and all expectations as did each and every plate we had. Continuing we had the focaccia along with mushroom pasta, pappardelle sausage pasta, and the mascarpone pasta dish. Each one was delicious and unique in their own way. The last 2 times my friend and I dined here we both ordered plates of the pici cacio de Pepe along with focaccia and porchetta and OF COURSE the huntress Pinot Noir. Tonight I dined at Pici alone for my last night in New Zealand and to no surprise I was more than satisfied with my meal and exceptional service by all staff. Tonight my waitress was the sweet bartender who was more than happy to answer all questions I had. Tonight I treated myself to a glass of Syrah to accompany my porchetta, the aperol spritz to accompany my Pici cacio de Pepe, and The Godfather amaretto whiskey to accompany the dark chocolate mousse with pistachios and salted caramel. I highly recommend this restaurant to any and all interested. The staff, food, and ambiance have exceeded all expectations and I would gladly come back. Cheers from California!

Been a few times now, and never a disappointment. The cacio e pepe is classic that I can't stop ordering. But my favourite was the nduja fettuccine and the seasonal stracciatella with the golden beetroot. The lamb ragu was also delicious, as we're the breads, Olives, and, thin slices of pork. Paired with a beautiful Pet Nat, we had quite the feast. Service is usually pleasant, but we've had instances where we felt we were rushed. But overall a wonderful time.

The quality of the dishes was extraordinary, and they were scrumptious. However, the portions were too small, which did not match the high prices.What I would recommend is to eat something small earlier; otherwise, you will leave this place still hungry.

Some pasta are really good. I recommend ziti oyster mushroom, fettuccine vongole, and pappardelle beef. Amazing flavour and source. Noodles are extraordinary. The serving is not large so better order for sharing. And for the dessert, dark chocolate and cheese cake you must not miss. They taste so good. Great service and friendly staff. The environment is really nice to have a dinner with friends.

Wow. Yum!! Thanks for a beautiful dinner. Everything was delicious, came out pretty quickly, and was gobbled up pretty quickly too. Heater/Blankets are a nice touch, my one critique would be perhaps comfier chairs outside. Wine recommendations were spot on. Next time I’ll return with an empty tummy so I can eat lots more. And James ~ that’s the kinda host that makes you feel like you’re at home. He’s very thoughtful and knows his stuff. Til next time. Thanks Pici. ☺️☺️

This place is absolutely BUSTLING, it is so tiny but that also adds to its charm. Everyone is super lovely and friendly, and the food, absolutely delicious - great tasting, simple pasta made with good ingredients, and FRESH. I love it, jus the bread alone, I could eat for days. You would want to go either early or make a booking, the lines get ridiculous if you haven’t done either of these things. Worth a try if you love Italian.

The overall experience here was rather disappointing. The pasta was very salty and it’s not even Al dente.. (as you can see the picture attached, pasta was watery..) Ordered another carbonara & cacio e pepe (did not take pic), it was so salty and we could hardly swallow it.. furthermore portion sizes are very small, so if you’re a big eater perhaps you gotta order more!

Loving these simple pastas (Fettuccine vongole and Rigatoni, pork & fennel sausage ragu). They are delicious and fresh. We felt a bit salty and thirsty after the meal though. The environment is small and cozy. Services are good and friendly.
