★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Terrible experience. Started with two cocktails that tasted far too sweet and couldn’t even taste the gin.
Then came the flatbreads, the pumpkin & burrata and the snapper crudo. Sadly the breads are the star here. The pumpkin is a watery purée flop with a slab of burrata in it and the snapper was a burnt buttery mess of snapper pieces. Lacking flavour on both dishes.
Next came the bitter leaves, insalata sarda and carrots. We were informed they ran out of stracciatella for the carrots but continued to proceed. The bitter leaves had a mountain of olive oil over them (leaves with your olive oil anyone?) and was choked in Parmesan. Awful. The insalata sarda salmon was no better than a smoked cold salmon from countdown or new world out the packet on a mixed dish of grains, feta and other intricate items. Lacking flavour and any substance, this was the worst dish of all of them. Lastly, the carrots. They were rolled in olive oil and were hardly cooked. Firm to bite. Awful.
$160- something later; I couldn’t wait to get out faster. Total dining time for all of this was bang on an hour. Such a shame because the new sister restaurant that recently opened, Piknicka, was a stellar 10/10.
Definitely won’t be back when we can cook better at home. Disappointed.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic place to enjoy a pizza and a cocktail! Was lucky to walk in and get a table for two on a Sunday evening, but the service was lovely and quick, and we enjoyed everything about it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A big thank you to the amazing staff at Alpino who managed to fit 8 of us into a table on short notice.
Seriously top shelf food and atmosphere here, the two standout dishes to try were the gnocchi and the mushroom pizza, espresso martinis get a special mention also.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good vibes and nice pizza , first tasty pizza that I’ve tried in Nz, really nice flavour. Also, good customer service! We went there for the first time to try something different, we met Uri that day, he makes the best cocktails, if you ask for different mojitos flavours, he will find the way to make you happy ? we will come back for sure :)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the best GF PIZZA'S I have ever eaten. Staff went above and beyond to prepare takeaway which isn't normally on the menu. Simple fresh and beautiful ingredients. Thank you for a beautiful Friday night take out dinner

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very disappointed at the food quality. I’ve only been to Alpino Cambridge and they are amazing so I assumed the Mount one would be similar. The burrata was served with butternut squash, pumpkin seeds, lemon zest and maybe parmigiana, not a great combo of flavours. The butternut squash was too overpowering, couldn’t taste the burrata at all. The pizza was average. I had ordered a side dish which I believe they had completely forgotten about so I asked again halfway through the meal and it come to the table by the end of my dinner. Disappointed at the lack of service and quality of food.
