In italian, “A’mano” means “made by hand” — and for us, that’s not just a technique, it’s a philosophy. Our menu brings you the flavours of Italy to Christchurch. Inspired by the rich traditions of Italian cuisine, we roll our own pasta & bake our own focaccia bread and desserts fresh every day.

Italy is a mosaic of regional cuisines — each shaped by its local produce, age-old customs, and unique geography. From the colder mountainous regions of the north to the sun-drenched south, Italian cuisine is deeply tied to the land and the people who cook it. The same goes for its wines: rich reds from sunny Tuscany, mineral whites from the Veneto, volcanic reds from Sicily.

We recommend that our guests follow the classic rhythm of Italian dining: from antipasti and fresh pasta to secondi, contorni, dolci, and a well-earned digestive.

Our drinks list showcases Italian products and traditions — featuring Italian classics, signature cocktails, a carefully crafted wine list, and some iconic aperitivi, spirits and liqueurs.
