Amano Restaurant, Auckland CBD

This place is so amazing. I loved everything. Cannot fault a single thing 🥰😍

Finally managed to dine at Amano and I was not disappointed - the food was to die for! Uses asparagus a lot in their dishes (no complaints here) which I assume its a seasonal thing. Loved the scampi tomato chilli pasta, amazed at how this dish tasted, highly recommend! Beef carpaccio is a very light dish, plating is beautiful. The pan-seared scallops were delicious too. The Charred asparagus is served with yummy sauce, and the beef shin in pasta parcels are stuffed to the max with beef.   For dessert the lemon sorbet & orange granita was the best one, refreshing after all the food. The chocolate budino with orange and hazelnut is very rich and heavy in chocolate flavour. The espresso trifle is also nice, like a chocolatey apple crumble. For drinks I ordered the negroni as always (yum), for non-alcoholic drinks I recommend the Lemon seedlip drink which is pleasantly sour and cleans out the pallette nicely to taste each dish. We ordered food to share and when the bill was split didn't turn out that expensive at all (same amount as a meal I had at an average restaurant).  The atmosphere and service was excellent, and the temperature inside is quite warm so don't dress to warmly. Food is served surprisingly quickly.
