Rocco

$$$, Mediterranean, Ponsonby


Fodor's Review:

That it's slightly away from the heaviest foot traffic on Ponsonby Road doesn't deter the crowds who come for the glorious contemporary Mediterranean food here. Spanish flavors pepper a menu that lets favorites survive changes, so you'll always find the squid-ink noodles with seafood and the roast pork chop filled with chorizo, pancetta, and apple, with garlic-and-honey aioli -- a fiendish dish that tempts you to eat beyond capacity. The wine list gives a good sampling of some of New Zealand's best at reasonable prices. This is not a place for intimate dining, however; the buoyant crowd sees to that.
