Smoky cheeese

The smokey cheese pizza was amazing, haven't tasted anything like that in ages and I'm glad I visited. Would definitely go there again if I find myself in town again

Excelentes sabores y contundente

Hace tiempo estábamos buscando comida italiana y en nuestro viaje a Wellington la encontramos. Es excelente, tanto que volveremos mañana para cenar antes de irnos.

Super delicious

This restaurant is amazing. Everything is vegan which made it very hard to choose a meal because of the many options. I ended up with the winter salad and it tasted delicious. Definitely recommend this place.

Amazing pizza

The restaurant is located in the middle of Wellington on Cuba Street. We stopped while exploring the city centre and had two great pizzas. They were baked on point and their vegan cheese is absolutely delicious!
The place has different menus for lunch, afternoon and the evening, so keep that in mind, as the evening menu is way bigger than the other ones.

Pros: Completely vegan, Great vegan cheese

Simply the best!

3 out of 4 nights we were in Wellington, we had dinner here. It did not disappoint! Smashed potatoes with crunchy capers were delicious! The pizzas - very tasty. The dough was perfect. I wished we went here that 4th night as well!

Pros: Food selection/menu, Atmosphere , Friendly staff

Cons: I live too far away

Very tempting menu!

Central location, beautifully designed interior, pleasant music and nice staff. They make their cheeses and meats in-house, which I really appreciate, and it's really difficult to choose from the extensive menu!
My alfredo was actually very different from what I expected, but still good, and I'll be back to try pizzas, too.

A Pizza Heaven

Cute pizza restaurant in the heart of Wellington on Cuba Street. Great to see gluten free pizza bases available. We shared the GF Zingara pizza and fries. Need to come back to try the brownie for dessert. Delicious homemade bases, a nice change from restaurants using store bought.

Pros: Gluten free options, Great atmosphere , Good place to share food

Worth waiting for!

I have been wanting to try Nolita for months and it was definitely worth the wait! The atmosphere is lovely and the food is amazing! We tried the Mozzarella Bombas, Gnocco Fritto, Garlic Flat Bread, Rigatiloni con funghi and Ravioli. Everything was absolutely delicious!

Pros: 100% vegan, So many options!, Lovely interior

Avoid peak hours

The verde pizza was delicious and no holding back on toppings.
As for the mozzarella balls, disappointed especially for what they cost. What initially struck me was they were 3 small and 1 significantly larger ball, but that didn’t bother me. They were close to cold. They came out within minutes of ordering which makes me think they were pre-made and just sat around.
I complimented the staff on the pizza but when I raised the cold mozzarella balls, they quickly brushed it off and walked off. Not the response I’d expect from good customer service.

Pros: Delicious pizza, Warm setting

Cons: Perhaps poor service when too busy?

Cesar Salad with saitan chicken is delish

Very much enjoyed this dish on my first visit. So much in fact that I ordered it again the next day via UberEats and this time with garlic bread on the side. Wow. Seriously more ish 😋

I don’t know why that second photo with the sweet corn dish uploaded here. I’m sure I didn’t select it. It’s actually from a different place in WLG called Sweet Release Cakes. I can’t seem to remove it from this review. Please ignore.

Definitely the best Italian vegan meal I’ve had

The vegan “meats” was probably the highlight of this meal, the grilled chicken on top of the Caesars Salad was a perfect replica, the Italian sausage was similarly authentic tasting.

Everything else was top quality as well - the pizza base was excellent and the pasta tasted more like fresh (i.e. with egg) than dried pasta.

I’d highly recommend it as the top vegan choice in Wellington from what I sampled.

Pros: All vegan menu, Nice atmosphere, Outdoor seating (if Wellington weather allows)

Best vegan food in Welly

Oh gosh, all I can say is Thank you so much for providing not only the most delicious vegan food but somewhere that was warm on a cold Wellington night and such excellent service. Couldn't rate this palce high enough. The pizza dough was perfect and the in house made cheese on the pizza, delicious. The artichoke dish was sooo good. The cocktails were delicious. Everything we had was delicious. We could have licked the plates. The service staff were fabulous and greeted us warmly as we entered the door. We couldn't fault the place at all. Wish we were staying in Wellington longer so we could eat here again.

Pros: All Vegan menu. Everything delicious. Well priced., Excellent service, friendly profesional staff. , Great atmosphere and it was warm. Very rare !

Cons: Wish this was a franchise throughout the world !

Amazing pizzas

The pizza dough they make is just the best, they also make some vegan anchovies which deserve a 10/10.
If you’re vegan and visiting Wellington, you won’t regret having dinner at Nolita.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.

A bit disappointing

Both the pizza my husband ordered and the ravioli I ordered were missing true Italian sauces

Pros: Vegetarian with vegan options

Cons: Adequate but lacking in true Italian flavours

From Lords to Lorde

Let me tell you, this is a great place with exquisite food and a vibrant atmosphere. Vegan Italian is arguably some of the best food on the planet. We shared a paperdelle pomodoro pasta richly infused with a delicious tomato sauce and a seitan chicken pizza topped with cashew mozzarella and smoked cheddar cheese. The South Island Pinot Grigio we picked to have with the food was fantastic. You wouldn’t find a wine of this quality being exported to the Brexit-ridden UK or probably anywhere else for that matter. It was so good here we visited a second time a few days later and had the ravioli and cannelloni dishes which were preposterously divine. A place like this will stay in your memories for a very long time.

Pros: Sublime food, Craft beers on draught , Lovely staff

Great Margarita Pizza

Lovely place to go for dinner with family and friends. I really enjoyed the margarita pizza, and desert was good, although part was uncooked. Pretty solid.

Amazing Italian restaurant!

The Staff were so welcoming and friendly and the quality of food exceptional.
We tried as many dishes on the menu as possible during our few days in Wellington (it’s a tough job but someone has to do it!), including the Tartufo pizza (incredible dough base) and Tuscan Alfredo (pasta at its best). Also the ‘chicken’ Parma sandwich, Reuben burger and Hash Stack. The flavours were all amazing. The dessert menu also blew me away. The cannoli was to die for!

Amazing food and super friendly staff

We have very much enjoyed our time at Nolita and were glad that we came early as it got very busy even on a Monday night. Best to book a table in advance. The food was awesome and we loved the big choice of different dishes. Check the photos to see for yourself ;)

Pros: Big menu incl. starters and dessert, Super delicious, Unique and creative dishes
