  Excellent food and service thoroughly recommend and our dogs were made extremely welcome too. We had arancini, salmons pasta, Venice meatballs and Italian sausage everything was perfect pasta all homemade.

  Even though our Kapiti Island trip for the following day was scuppered due to the weather, we decided to keep our booking for 17 people and drove up from Wellington... read more Airport. We didn’t want to let the restaurant down as we felt they must’ve been through enough with Covid. Hope they appreciated us Aucklander’s, Cantabrian’s and Kerikerian’s making the effort. We returned to Wellington the next morning.
We liked the restaurant, it has a lovely ambience, just the look we wanted for our anniversary celebration dinner. The service was excellent, our young waiter did a great job. We didn’t mind that were split into three tables, it worked for us.
We all enjoyed the food from the set menu offered. Starters were very generous and delicious. So generous, in fact, we had difficulty finishing our mains.
The cocktails tasted ok just not very special looking. But thank you for the limoncellos for the ‘seniors’ table.
It was nice to able to take the rest of the pizzas home and my family enjoyed their desserts for breakfast in the morning; delicious apparently!
Thanks Surfer’s Mistress.

  Fabulous service, outstanding food with beautiful wines and spirits. My new favourite restaurant in Kapiti, seriously an outstanding restaurant

  The most authentic Italian cuisine we’ve found in New Zealand. This restaurant has great ambiance, sassy style, superb service and fabulous food! Tucked back off the beach, in Paraparumu, it’s... read more a little hard to spot, but make sure you do.

  Who knew that Tuesday night's in Paraparaumu Beach could be so much fun! We stumbled across this restaurant, and the prospect of authentic Italian food was too much to resist.... read more And we weren't disappointed.
Starting with perfectly mixed Aperol Spritzers, we loved the eclectic array of art and small funky details which gives TSM a modern, exciting vibe. The red checked table-clothes provide a nice nod to tradition though. The service is quick, friendly but with just enough sass, to reaffirm they know they have a splendid offering.
Tuesday night is 'Eat Like an Italian' night, and you won't be disappointed. The food was as I remember from my travels in Italy - but with kiwi size portions, so beware, you will be full when you leave!
Be bold and try one of the Italian wines on offer. We had a bottle of the Punset Barbera D'Alba 2016 which was a perfect match for our meal.
Put TSM on your 'to-do' list next time you're in the area.
