Bivacco is a bar and grill on the Viaduct Harbour waterfront at 115 Customs Street West, with views over the Auckland waterfront and sun most of the day. The restaurant serves simple Italian food built from local ingredients. Steak is cooked over coals and finished in the Josper, and the menu runs from freshly shucked oysters and cured meats, including wagyu bresaola, to crudo and salads. The website says the bar menu is served at the high tops and the inside bar tables, and it describes the room as a place for happy hour, a long lunch or a waterfront evening. Groups of 14 or more can order a sharing set menu.
