Where Italian Passion Takes Flight

When the lights dim, The Aviator transforms. What’s usually a hub of brunch and burgers by day becomes an intimate evening experience with refined flavours, soft lighting, and relaxed vibes.

​

Our exclusive dinner events run on select nights, typically once a week, with each menu inspired by the season or a special theme. To keep things fresh – and food waste low – we operate by bookings and pre-orders, ensuring every dish is crafted with care and precision.

​

Under the mentorship of acclaimed chef and MasterChef NZ judge Simon Gault, our talented team – Riaan from South Africa and Stephanie from France – create authentic, Italian-inspired meals using premium ingredients, many imported directly from Italy through Gault’s Deli.

​

Expect handmade pizzas, slow-cooked sauces, and rustic mains that showcase honest, heartfelt cooking. Whether you’re celebrating, planning a night out with friends, or simply in the mood for something special, this is where good food, great company, and a touch of aviation magic take flight.
