On Victoria Street in the heart of Cambridge, Alpino - known formally as Alpino cucina e vino - brings a taste of Italy to the Waikato. The restaurant describes its approach simply: creating dining experiences that are not only delicious but built on fresh, quality ingredients sourced from local suppliers.
True to its 'cucina e vino' name - Italian for kitchen and wine - Alpino Cambridge pairs its food menu with a focus on wine, positioning itself as a proper Italian dining destination rather than a quick pasta stop.

Among the dishes that keep customers talking are Alpino's desserts.
