"..."Tapiano" telescopes "tapas" with "piano" because the place is a piano bar on Friday and Saturday nights...The prices are good here..."

Peter Calder, The New Zealand Herald - March 2009

"...They lightened the décor, divided the room, smartly clothed the tables and set them with style..."

Lauraine Jacobs, Cuisine Magazine - March 2009

"...It’s housed in a downstairs space of the new Matakana cinemas complex, and a cosy open fire provides warmth to the stark but elegant interior..."

Brett Atkinson, View Auckland - December 2008

"...Tapiano has a lot going for it and people in the district spoke very highly of it when we asked about somewhere sociable for a fine dinner...the dining area around the corner and near the windows is quieter and more sophisticated..."
