We ate here for the first time tonight and it was delicious authentic Italian with the bonus of accommodating our daughter’s Coeliacs. We’ll definitely be back!
Had dinner last night at El Greco and we absolutely loved the experience. From the warm and friendly staff, to the comfortable outdoor seating, to the amazing food, everything was exceptional.
We had a quiet dog and this was fine. Flat surfaces, so ok for wheelchairs too. Our fried has celiacs and this also was not a problem.
I loved the Italian lagers (it was great to have another option, rather than just Peroni). The 7 ⭐️ Metaxa was similar to a Cognac, full of flavours and a great way to finish the night over dessert. Nice wine selections too.
Really enjoyed all the food - souvlaki, squid, pasta. Lots of generous amounts of salad.
My only feedback would be to only use vegetables that are in season. Brussel sprouts are not in season now, which means they’re probably cooked from frozen and we found them mushy.
Apart from that we loved everything about dining here and would highly recommend it to others.
Graci!
Awesome service, good food and very accommodating for food allergies. Nice selection of Gluten free options. Our server, Tye and Chef Robin went above and beyond on great customer service. A nice welcome to New Zealand for us!
Had a great pizza here. Taste was very good and a nice touch to the pepperoni pizza was the parmesan cheese they added.
It was nice that allergens could be taken into account, for example they had a gluten-free base, great.
Great meals but the staff made the difference- very friendly, attentive and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and it was appreciated by our group. Dairy-free and gluten free options for one of our group were suggested, which was perfect.
Really enjoyed my meal, glad to see there were many gluten free options. Our server Barbara was very accomodating to our tables dietary requirements and was really friendly. Looking forward to our next visit.

The food was delicious with their house-made gluten-free noodles. Made from chicken peas, they don't have the same texture, but the flavor with the sauce was amazing! I also ordered the grilled broccolini, cooked al dente with plenty of garlic. They sat me at the counter where I was able to watch them create and ask a question. Great experience!

Wow what a lovely dining experience. The only thing better than the food is the passion that the staff have for their job. My partner has a number of allergies and they catered for them perfectly as well. Great gluten-free pizza!
Lovely and attentive staff. Really obliging with gluten free options and bringing me a little plate of limes when they saw me eating the limes out of other people’s glasses 😅
So so very good. We shared a garlic and mozzarella pizza as a starter, the cheese was insane. Never had that in my life. Then with a Montepulciano the Pansotti large version, which were perfectly al dente.
For dessert I shared a gluten free torta al cioccolato and a tiramisu with a friend. Both were reaaaally good!
I absolutely recommend!
Not only is the food amazing, but everything is homemade, they have product of excellent (Italian) quality, the atmosphere was really cute and cozy. Family business style.
Loved it!
Thanks for everything!
Had the romy bolognese with gluten free and dairy free requirements and it was amazing. Best gluten free pasta ive had in Auckland! Service was amazing, highly recommend!
I ordered the gluten free chicken burger and couldn’t have the fries due to cross contamination so our waiter Will swapped it for a side salad. It was nicely dressed and I appreciated the substitute. Overall a good experience, Will was very attentive. Great service!

Amazing modest location but such really tasty food. We are planning visit and maybe will make this a regular restaurant on our weekly schedule. Highly recommend. They can deal with special requests if gluten free and vegan. Let them know when you book. Love love

Volare Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria

Booked in for 2, excellent wait staff and impressive menu.
Dined with a friend who is celiac and Volare confidently hit the mark with the GF offering that was extensive and delicious.
Can’t fault and look forward to dining here again.
Restaurant is accessible friendly too which is a huge bonus for anyone with mobility requirements.
Staff so friendly and polite.
Can do all pastas gluten free and have gluten free pizza bases. Great for coeliacs and those with a gluten intolerance. Makes all the difference these options are included so thank you!
Really enjoyed the gf pasta I had.
I ordered a few takeaway pizzas to enjoy in the beach. Fast, no nonsense service, the gluten free base was the best I’d ever had. Delicious wood fire pizza - if a bit more expensive than I’d usually get. They took as long as they said they would too. Will go again.

If you need stomach-safe and still delicious gluten-free pizza, this is your spot. If you just want great pizza done really well, this is your spot. If you need both like I did, there’s no other place in Auckland. Great pizza, fast service, awesome people. Highly recommended.

The first thing we noticed was the wonderful aroma of good food. Secondly that the diners looked and sounded happy.
We had Great service. A comprehensive menu. I had the veal scallopine. Tender veal in a flavorsome sauce with mushrooms, spinach and mozzarella. It came with new potatoes, carrots, beans and broccoli. It was delicious and I took my time to savour the tastes and textures.
My partner had chicken cacciatore. This was delicious. The tomato sauce was smooth. It came with vegetables, too. Both these dishes were gluten free. For dessert we had the icecream ' drowned' in the liquor of choice. Fabulously simple and indulgent way to end our meal.
Staff was knowlegable and helpful. They were not intrusive and were efficient. Wonderful evening. It is popular and I would recommend booking.
Great pizza spot with amazing pizza flavours. Feels understaffed and there was quite a long wait time for both placing order and receiving food.
Note: They do have gluten free bases. It’s not specified on the menu but you can just ask

We booked Coco’s private room for a hens party. The staff were fantastic, set menu was delicious and effortlessly catered to dietary requirements including gluten free and coeliac. The private area was completely separate, we had our own bathroom, iPad loaded with Spotify, a huge speaker and disco lights which made the night so fun. The staff were so accommodating and let us enjoy the area for such a long time - if you’re after a gorgeous place, right on K Road, with fantastic food, and great cocktails for a private event - definitely get in touch with them!
Very yummy pizza bread and pasta. Very busy - you really need to book ahead. Quite noisy and there is a live band in the bar. Service variable - had to call the waitress over a few times, and they don't all seem to be having fun. Gluten free pizza base was so hard to cut I had to ask for a steak knife and still struggled! I'm probably old fashioned but at most restaurants the waiters and waitresses give way to you as you walk by, but not always here. Overall the customers seem to be enjoying themselves and food nice and fresh. Service just needs attention.
