About

About Tutto Bene Restaurant & Pizzeria

Tutto Bene Restaurant & Pizzeria is a family-owned Italian restaurant at 192 Papanui Road in Merivale, Christchurch, and has been part of the Merivale dining scene for more than twenty years. Owned and operated by an Italian family, it is also noted as one of New Zealand's first fully certified carbon-neutral restaurants.

The offer

The menu covers authentic Italian cooking with a modern touch — wood-fired pizza with thin, crisp bases, traditional pasta dishes such as carbonara, and Italian classics — backed by an extensive Italian wine list. The dining room leans into a traditional trattoria feel, with checked tablecloths and Italian memorabilia, while the al fresco area under a protected elm tree is a drawcard in the warmer months. The restaurant opens seven days and caters for takeaway.

Meetings and events

The established reputation, indoor and courtyard seating and central Merivale location make Tutto Bene a solid choice for group dinners, team celebrations and informal functions close to central Christchurch. See more Christchurch venues.
