SPQR

The Verdict

Talk about snazzy! SPQR is a legendary Ponsonby restaurant known for its vino-fuelled, Italian long lunches (they also offer an unbeatable working lunch, 7 days a week) and dinners. As the place to see and be seen in Ponsonby, SPQR attracts some of the hippest people in town, but if you’re simply looking for a brilliant, modern take on Italian classics (pasta, pizza, and to die for tiramisu,) you’ll find it at SPQR.
