The honesty of children ❤️
We took our 5 year old to Rita for a special dinner the other night... she loved it, and it didn't disappoint. This is her Review: "I didn't know food could be this delicious!" (I won't take that to heart! 😊) "Mu
Six out of five for Rita
Gorgeous layout, small and intimate. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable wait staff, sensational food. Simple, nuanced flavours that packed a punch. Loved that the menu was handwritten and for that day only. Perfect meal out.
Wow just wow
Wow Just perfect From the moment we walked in until the minute we left Food, service, ambiance, people Fabulous Good food done really well
Quaint immaculate dining experience
Just loved this experience and an absolute must do whilst in the capital. Rita is a beautiful retrofitted old workers cottage tucked away in the Aro Valley. One menu with added extras if you so wished. The food wasn't overly exciting, but it wa
Wow - I don't have the words - so good
Visited here for a special occasion with my wife, from the moment we walked in the door, just wow. The service was outstanding, food was absolutely amazing, great wine selection, lovely atmosphere. Without a doubt one of the best dining experiences,
Not our cup of tea
Friends have raved about this place, so we gave it a second chance, which confirmed our first impression. Food is Ok but it's just not our thing - way too much fuss! Really don't like the silly touches like no printed menu and cutlery conc
Food not very good
Nice place, friendly staff but food a let down For being in the heart of Southall you would expect better food The parents tasted if they were frozen and cooked
Go!
Loved it. Sophisticated dining in a casual homey setting. You feel like a guest in their home. Food was excellent. Highly recommend.
A homely ambiance with high quality food and wine.
Fantastic ambiance and quality of food. Original recipes with very good wine pairings. Very friendly host with good suggestions for restaurants along our trip through New Zealand. We will certainly recommend this restaurant to friends and people who
Delicious meal
I’ve eaten here before and the food is always great. My meal last night was fantastic! See menu in the photo. The tuna main and plum desert were superb! The extra plates were delicious. I can’t wait to go back!!
Not convinced
Next day T: what did you think? Me: Well, the dessert was the weakest part for me. T: It's not what I would order Me: It's not what most people would probably order Its 6 years since our return and 6 years ago, I had a very disappointing experience
Delicious find in Wellington!
We were lucky to get a local’s recommendation as Rita doesn’t come up on many of the searches for Wellington. But what a gem to find! Small restaurant with only 24 covers but simple set menu with option of adding extras. Great wines, but no cockt
A tiny and perfect night
A short walk from the city centre this tiny gem is a delight. Operating two sittings of a set three course menu enables them to produce quality meals. Pop next door to the Garage Project for a beer first.
Amazing.
Small restaurant, seasonal set menu but with option to add a couple of things on. The asparagus starter was really good, kingfish main was perfectly cooked. Desert was a parsnip crème caramel which didn't taste like parsnip, and not sweet. Also had
A caveat
Great food, amazing service, priced as to be expected for that level of premium dining. A caveat: because of too many tables in a confined space, it is extremely noisy, so, don't dine there if you plan to have a quiet conversation.
My partner and I went to Rita for our birthdays and had one
My partner and I went to Rita for our birthdays and had one of the best meals of our lives! Their menu changes every day and they offer additional appetizers for an extra price. Every dish that was brought to us was delicious! I have no complaints. T
Awesome Night Out
In my 81 years and at least 60+ years of dining out in many places in this world Rita claims top spot by a country mile. To see staff enjoying interacting with patrons so professionally and in such a fun way made our dining out experience special, th
Terrific service, great food. Yum
A hidden gem in Wellington. Menu changes daily. We had an entree of lonza radicchio (home-made cured ham in cheese bread stick), and snapper tartare. A mains of roasted duck leg with cabbage, and a dessert of parsnip creme caramel. All very well sea
Superb!
Warm and efficient service which does not intrude on your conversation. Sublimely balanced menu, fresh and tasty, accompanied by an imaginative wine list. A small restaurant run along the lines of a European "Private Kitchen", the owner and
Amazing Russian Honey Cake!
They make awesome Honey Cakes which shoukd be ordered a week advance atleast and to be collected on saturdays only! One of the hidden gems of Welly!
A tiny gem in the Aro Valley
This is a very special little restaurant. They take great care and concern with everything they put on the table. Service is competent and friendly. The wine list matches the meal perfectly. This is without a doubt my favorite restaurant in Wellingto
Wonderful service & great food
I seldom write a review for restaurants but I felt that this place really deserved one. The food was excellent, imaginative and delicious. The service was excellent, and you can tell that the owners really cared about ensuring that their patrons had
Highly recommend
Outstanding food, service and ambience as per usual. Dined here a number of times and really can't fault the place on any aspect. Highly recommend.
Connect with users posting reservations for Rita Wellington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Rita Wellington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Rita Wellington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Rita Wellington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Rita Wellington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Rita Wellington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
