Francesca's Italian Kitchen

Fantastic The menu is very clearly marked. It really does cater for all dietary requirements which is superb considering it’s an Italian! The vegan bruschetta is genius, the carrot is soaked in algae and has a beautifully smokey flavour too. Opt for potato skins if you like crunch, so yum. Service is great (best to book as they’re often full! Lovely atmosphere, I just love it.

Disappointed. Boring pizza too big for one person while the carnivores around me thought their meal superb. I was the only vegan so $28 was far too big. Unable to eat half of it. Get your act together for vegans

We went here for our first night in Christchurch. The service was good and they managed to fit us on a busy Saturday evening without booking. There were not many vegan options. They had some pizzas and a risotto. We both had the Risotto, which was nice, but it felt like it needed something with him on the side when I was still a little hungry.

The food was delicious. Very expensive for the portion sizes. Service was average. We took our own birthday cake and the staff was not very accommodating.
