A consistent favourite on the Havelock North dining scene since 2007, packing big punchy flavours into shared plates, there is a reason Deliciosa is still at the top of its game. They've developed a reputation for impeccable service and a food and wine experience that continuously delivers on flavour. 

Deliciosa is a popular spot among winemakers from around the region, Havelock North locals and visitors who have all heard good things. The rich green and wine-red interior is warm and welcoming, and you will quickly feel right at home here. Many regulars are greeted by name and the attentive team will often have their favourite tipple prepared and poured for them. Relax and enjoy your meal from the comfort of one of the luxurious Chesterfield-style leather sofas. Or, if you want some more of the action, take a perch up at the bar, a prime watching spot!

The food is the real star at Deliciosa, with the sharing-style menu a mix of platters and small and large plates. Described by the chef as “A love child of seasonal opportunity and favourites that regulars refuse to allow to leave,” there isn’t a wrong choice when it comes to ordering. Complementing the shared plates is an extensive range of local and international wines, cocktails and craft beers. 

Whether you are meeting up with a group of friends for a long-overdue catch-up or out on a date night, Deliciosa has the complete package of a great atmosphere, delicious food and a finely curated drinks list.
