Welcome to
The Bicycle Thief
Our quaint Italian restaurant is located in a picturesque area in Tai Tapu set amongst quiet roads and beautiful fields. Built in 1875, our venue provides the perfect place to have a quiet Italian meal or to celebrate in style with private rooms capable of hosting up to one hundred people.
We invite you to join us and sample our authentic Italian menu utilising traditional Italian products and recipes paired with beautiful fresh New Zealand-grown produce. We cater for most diets including vegan and gluten-free.
