About Ciao Bella

Set back on Wairoa Avenue away from the beachfront rush, this sunny corner post morphs easily from morning espresso counter to neighbourhood canteen. Regulars track their week by it—starting on scrambled eggs with funghi and goat's cheese, lingering over warm rosemary focaccia, and slipping back Thursday for pasta and wine specials. Come the weekend, afternoon aperitivo takes over with tailored cocktails and live DJ sets running until dusk.

  • Thursday Pasta Night: Weekly pasta and wine specials draw a steady neighbourhood dinner crowd every Thursday.
  • Weekend Aperitivo & DJs: Late afternoons bring bespoke cocktails and live DJ sets to kick off the weekend.
  • Neighbourhood Morning Fuel: Italian espresso paired with mushroom scramble and rosemary focaccia away from the tourist strip.
