Jamie’s Italian to open in New Zealand
Today it was announced that Jamie’s Italian will expand to New Zealand with restaurants opening in both Wellington and
Auckland within the next two years.
Jamie’s Italian will open in Wellington in late-2015. The restaurant will be located in the historic Public Trust
building at Lambton Quay. The family-friendly restaurant focuses on fantastic value food and drink, enabling the
community to dine frequently and for a range of occasions.
The menu is made up of Jamie’s favourite Italian dishes. From generous plates of antipasti and comforting, moreish bowls
of pasta, to mouth-watering grills and freshly made pizza, there is something for everyone. As always everything on the
menu is produce driven, with a focus on using higher welfare and sustainable ingredients throughout.
Furthermore, Jamie’s Italian will be open from early morning until late evening so anyone can pop in for a freshly
ground coffee and pastries, a quick working lunch, cocktails during Aperitivo hour or spend Saturday night with friends
and family.
Jamie’s Italian will also open a venue in Auckland in 2016, with further details about the location and concept to be
released closer to the opening date.
Karen Westfield, General Manager of Jamie’s Italian Australia and New Zealand said “We are really excited to bring two
superb restaurants to New Zealand and look forward to providing great service and most importantly, amazing food to both
Wellington and Auckland.”
Jamie Oliver said, “I can’t wait to open our first restaurant in New Zealand. We’ve been looking for the perfect site
for a long time now and I really feel that we’ve found it in Wellington. Jamie’s Italian is the perfect place to bring
the family or meet friends and get stuck into some fantastic food. Right now we’re looking for amazing suppliers,
something I’m sure we’re not going to be short of in New Zealand! Watch this space."
