Autentico gives you a true Italian culinary experience, be it at a cooking class, a pop-up restaurant or a team building event.You can also book our private chef service for the best Italian long lunch!
The perfect way to impress your dinner guests with mouthwatering dishes such as homemade lasagna, risotto, and tiramisu. You will learn all the secrets and tricks of Italian cooking culture from a real Italian chef.
Our gelato is made following traditional Italian methods, starting from real ingredients rather than pre-made bases. Fresh milk, seasonal fruit, nuts, and chocolate are carefully balanced to create a smooth texture and clean, natural flavour.
We make our gelato ourselves, in Tauranga, and in small artisan batches. Unlike standard ice cream, artisan Italian gelato is lower in fat, denser in texture, and crafted to highlight real flavour - exactly as it’s made in Italy.
