The secret is out…... and it's bellissimo.
If you've driven past Smales Farm this week, you've seen the hoarding. You've read the signs. And now we can tell you, Michael & Annette Dearth behind Auckland's beloved restaurants Baduzzi & The Grove, are bringing their magic to Smales Farm.
A brand new Italian ristorante is coming lead by head Chef Federico Schincariol, and it's going to be an absolute game changer for the North Shore dining scene. Think great food made in full view, think elegant, think the kind of place that works just as perfectly for a sneaky weekday lunch as it does for a big celebration dinner.
We're not quite ready to reveal the name just yet but trust us, it'll be worth the wait.
In the meantime, Goodside and all our operators are open and serving up the good stuff every day. Come and soak up the autumn vibes, peek at the hoarding, and get excited, because something perfetto is almost here.
Watch this space.
