Baduzzi is an Italian restaurant at Unit 2, 10-26 Jellicoe Street in North Wharf, Wynyard Quarter, Auckland. It was founded in 2013 by Annette and Michael Dearth, and its name comes from polpettine, the small meatballs of a traditional Sicilian dish. The menu is built for sharing and includes hand-rolled pasta made fresh each day, slow-cooked sauces, and meatballs in the style of New York and Sicily. Two signature dishes are king prawns rolled in pancetta with gremolata sauce, and a squid salad with white beans and croutons.
The restaurant describes itself as an award-winning Italian dining room with long dinners and generous plates for celebrations, corporate gatherings and family occasions. Gift vouchers can be sent by email and used on a phone or printed. The wine list includes Italian wines alongside wines from around the world.
