Scopa

An amazing location, highly recommended by the locals and well worth the visit. Definitely a stop off here for any Welly visitor on the tourist route, looking for a great place to titillate the taste-buds for a fair price!

This place is a super cool small restaurant on Cuba st. Authentic Italian cuisine, delicious pizzas and fabulous layout of the bar and service area where you can look right into the woodfired pizza oven. Pretty busy during the lunch hour and two for one deal on margherita pizzas on tuesdays so look out for all the students!

If you were to imagine your favourite place to hangout with friends, what would it feature? Great coffee? Delicious pizzas? Friendly staff? Stylish decor? Fabulous brunches? A chilled, unpretentious atmosphere in a trendy part of the central city?

Scopa has the lot - making it our favourite place for a pitstop in Wellington. Situated in funky, art deco Cuba Street, it’s the perfect place to catch up with friends during a day of shopping or in the evenings if you fancy a chilled alternative to Courtenay Place.

You can always expect a warm welcome in this family-run Italian restaurant and cafe. The food is fabulous (try their homemade chilli olive oil drizzled over pizza for a blow-your-head off culinary treat!) and the prices reasonable. Their eggs florentine are also superb.

The decor is incredibly stylish - even the toilets are amazing!
