This weekend, we recommend indulging in Andiamo’s indulgent, truffle-themed set menu

As beloved for its delicious food as it is for its coveted outdoor tables — thoroughly heated across the cooler months, Andiamo is the perfect place to while away a leisurely few hours in culinary bliss. And now, the stalwart eatery is giving us the perfect excuse to lock in a long lunch, introducing its decidedly decadent menu as part of its ‘Andiamo Recommends’ series, centred on Te Kairanga’s exceptional wines and the seasonal delicacy everyone is coveting — truffle.

Here, the likes of Truffle Risotto with fried enoki mushroom and crème fraîche (best when paired with the 2021 Te Kairanga John Martin Chardonnay), are on offer alongside Charred Leek Pizza with walnut, goats cheese, and truffle honey, Maritozzi with truffle and pecorino crema, and a mouthwatering Short Rib Fazzoletti with celeriac béchamel.

The best bit? You’ll be treated to two courses (with the option to add sides for the table), and an exceptional glass of wine, all for a modest $40.

Or, if Andiamo is your go-to neighbourhood haunt, and you simply can’t stray from your go-to, there’s the tasty option to enhance any dish, at any time, with fresh shavings of locally sourced black truffle for just $10. So, what are you waiting for?
