Highly highly recommend. Best gluten free burger I've ever had. Buns were decent size and soft and the no extra cost is a massive bonus! I had the chicken burger and my partner had the cheeseburger. Both GF and both well worth it. Had takeaways but when we picked it up the vibe was cool and the place looked clean. Good friendly service. Just too easy! Will definitely be back when passing thru dunedin next time! In fact will make sure we swing back this way more often! Thank you 😊

Went here for mums birthday lunch, everyone's food came out luke warm. My pizza was lacking flavour, it was the tofu one. It was very bland. The calamari my sister got the gluten free version and it was small for the price and lacking flavour. Mums seafood chowder was yummy but not hot and someone else got a cherizo breakfast special that was great value and yummy. They have a huge menu with heaps of gluten free options which is great. The waitress was lovely and very tentative to our table. Would probably go back but would ask for the meal to be hot and wouldn't get a gf pizza!

Went for lunch. When we arrived only one table occupied, but three that needed clearing. Staff chatting in the corner basically ignored us. No indication of whether it was table service or order at counter. Ordered gluten free meal. It seemed okay, but later I had all the symptoms of having been glutened. Probably cross contamination due to poor food handling practices. We won’t be back.

OK I need to start with the positive. The venue was clean and welcoming and seats were available on a Saturday morning at 11am. The wait staff were super attentive and helpful. The reason I say it's only OK, is that as a person whom is food intolerant there were no easily visible options on the menu ie Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten or Dairy Free. Sorry guys I did expect the suburb of Devonport to be a bit more on to it. Having said that they altered my choosen meal to adapt, but Eggs Benedict is not the same without the sauce!!

I really wanted to like my time here. Lovely decor, food taste good, the tofu was blend tho. Especially disappointed by the service. Our order was completely messed up. We didnt order a papaya salad because after asking the waitress she said it wasn't gluten-free but were surprised when it was brought to our table. We insited that we talked about it during the order, and the waitress didn't seem to care or apologize. Fine we kept it. But then, we order 2 bowls of rice and the second one arrived 10 min after both of our curry were empty. The roti bread also came half way through. We ask for adds on tofu in one of curry, it wasn't in. The waitress said I will bring some on side. It never came. She also ask if we were still waiting for spring Rolls, we never asked about spring Rolls. I could go on and on. The order was so messed up it ruin the day, which by the way, was Mothers day and my husband birthday. Yeah !!! They finally gave the salad for free after we decided to leave, and never get 3 of our dishes served by the time all the previous meal where eaten.

Really great dinner tonight at Graze! For $125pp we got the full shebang, and really got our money’s worth. The dishes were all so tasty and each portion was a decent size. Particularly loved the butterfish crudo. They explained each dish in detail and provided gluten free alternatives when required. Their gluten free corn bread was delicious!

Thank you for your response Tara, I really appreciate it. I'll amend the scores based on my own (non-coeliac!) experience but leave the original review below to give context to your reply.
I appreciate that mistakes can be made, unfortunately they can have serious consequences but it appears you know that already! Some do not and don't take it seriously and because the effects are delayed (almost exactly 2 hours for my wife, every time it happens) the customer is usually long gone and the business owner is none the wiser.
You also have a frustrated phone message from me waiting for you in the morning (recorded prior to your response) so apologies for that as well!

Coeliacs DO NOT EAT HERE.
Don't label your food as gluten free if you're not sure. And don't advise your customers of gluten free options unless you know what they're talking about.

A solid Italian restaurant oozing with style.
Nestled in Midland Park, Astoria greets you with a moody space filled with the smells of bread, olive oil, and matured cheeses. The waiters are warm and attentive. You will never feel rushed or forgotten and no ask feels out of place.
The menu has plenty of gluten free options, many of which can be adapted. For example the linguini pawns were served with gluten free penne. However, Astoria cannot guarantee dishes are safe for coeliacs. Unfortunately fresh bread is prepared in a shared cooking environment. The wait staff will ask you if you are coeliac as you place your order.
The food is a modern interpretation of classic Italian flavours. In particular, we would recommend the burrata and beef cheek ragu.The burrata was fresh, delicate, and soft, while the ragu has a strong umami flavour.
The drinks menu will appeal to a wide variety of taste buds, preferences, and ages. You will also find a range of Italian drinks and sprits like the Camperchi Chianti Riserva and Limoncello spritz.
Overall Astoria is a good restaurant. However the menu, although varied, lacks the flare to really wow. It is also a shame that the dishes aren't safe for coeliacs and the only pasta alternative is penne. A fundamental aspect of Italian cuisine is pasta variety which is flattered by only one option for all.

I had the best customer service experience ever here today. I made a mistake and ordered something with bacon despite being Muslim. Totally on me and when I went back to check the menu to see how it happened the staff were AMAZING and understanding! I can’t believe how kind they were. They resolved the issue for me without any extra cost to me and honestly I was just blown away by how amazing they were. 100% I was just dumb and there was no necessity for them to do anything but they did and I will now send every person I meet to eat here 😊 The food is amazing too. They can adjust it for gluten free and halal if you let them know. Definitely go here 👍🏻
