From hidden Italian gems to fiery Sichuan pots—here’s what’s been on my plate lately! 📍 Italian: Gemmi (CBD) 🍝 Small but mighty menu—pastas under $25! 🌟 Try: Cacio e pepe + tiramisu "Budget-friendly but tastes luxe!" 📍 Spicy Fix: Mad Pot (CBD) 🌶️ Mala xiang guo OR tang? Both slap! 🔥 Pro tip: Ask for extra numb spice (if you dare!) 📍 Vietnamese: Nuuna (Wynyard Quarter) 🍚 Short rib fried rice = MUST-ORDER (skip the curry chicken) 🍜 Pho broth tastes like Lanzhou beef noodles (fun twist!) 📍 Spanish: Tasca (Newmarket) 🥘 Seafood paella (crispy bottom!) + chicken quesadilla (cheeeesy) 📍 Pizza Heaven: Archie’s (Newmarket) 🍕 Hand-stretched dough—try the truffle honey pizza! 📍 Izakaya Vibes: Sake Bar Nippon (Epsom) 🎌 Drumroll welcome! 🥁 🍱 Unagi don + takoyaki = perfection (book ahead!) #AucklandEats #FoodieDiary #EatLikeALocal
