About Ombra

Ombra is an Italian restaurant and bar at 199 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, and is part of Mosaic Venues. The name means "shadow" in Italian, and the concept is inspired by the informal bacari (backstreet bars) of Venice.

Food and drink

The seasonal menu features small plates (cicchetti), pizzette, pasta, risotto and desserts, and changes regularly. A curated wine list is offered alongside Italian-style drinks such as spritzes, prosecco and negroni. Reviews describe an industrial-style interior with wood textures, brick and exposed pipes.

Groups and functions

Ombra publishes group guidelines. Groups of up to 14 can order from the regular menu, and larger groups can choose set menus. Large tables seat up to 16 guests, and part or full venue hire is available for 16 to 46 guests. Bookings cover half the restaurant, with the remainder held for walk-ins. The website links to a Michelin Guide listing but does not describe any award. Owners and chef are not named in the sources reviewed.
