Urbano Bistro Cafe & Restaurant

It's really not great, definitely not worth 4.2 stars, staff were ok, nothing amazing. Pasta was quite small and the parmesan wasn't freshly grated despite being the cheapest element, sauce was ok. Chicken was fine, pasta was the best element, well cooked. My friend had a pizza which was a bit of a train wreck, undercooked. I would give this place 2.5 stars if I could and would definitely not come here again.

Had a lovely breakfast here. It’s a charming and warm atmosphere with seating inside and out. The service was friendly. The food was very nice and I had a wonderful turmeric latte. Overall a nice experience and I would definitely go back.

Very friendly staff and tasty dishes. Would happily recommend and go back here again.

Wow! Pulled Pork from brunch menu is from heaven! Best dish I’ve had on my trip to New Zealand! I ate two servings!

Exceptional food, absolutely nothing to faulter - possibly one of the best fillets I've taken this year. We also took the lamb, which was also to die for! Service was great, smiling and considerate, and quite fast too. Price is standard European city prices - possibly cheaper than some European cities also. Well done guys!

No booking online but filling in the enquiry form worked. Wonderful chowder starter for me and lamb spring rolls for the boss. Mains were pork and chicken. This is the only minus ... My broccoli was stone cold and the boss' carrots too undercooked to actually cut with the knife. Meat was superb and the accompanying sauces. Service a little slow, but boy, they were busy!

We ate here this evening. What a gem. From the moment we stepped in with a very warm welcome from the very friendly bearded gent, he recommended great wines and dishes to us. We had the scallops and ceviche, then the wagyu beef fillet (a special) and lamb. He recommended a great red to us too. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. A real gem; great food and combination of flavours in every dish, and excellent service to round it off.

Visiting Rotorua for 5 days and we ate brunch here twice! Delicious kai served on hot plates (bonus!) & yummy coffee with a variety of milk options, a clean & chill vibe space with excellent service by the team - our kinda pit stop! Urbano Habo dish was a fav and the Bloody Mary was lovely & refreshing. Catering to our toddler who is a fussy eater was also super helpful & staff remembered our coffee order from the first visit so “same again” was a lovely surprise we don’t see often enough around NZ. Thanks Team, keep up the awesome mahi - see you again soon 😊🙌🏽
