About this place
One diner recalled that a Bismarck pizza shared by 5 people was cut into 10 slices. Topped with bacon and a soft-cooked egg, it makes a natural centrepiece for a meal shared around the table. At Anchovy Café, that group also enjoyed carpaccio and pasta.
For a meal with friends in Mototanaka, one way to start is the antipasti platter, available as a single serving and offering small tastes of several dishes. Other options include the day’s carpaccio, served with a sauce made with seasonal citrus, and whelk ajillo.
Among the pastas, one diner noted that the sauce clung well to the rounded, ridged pasta in the Genovese with Kamigamo basil. Squid-ink risotto and a spicy tomato sauce with anchovy and red chilli offer very different flavours.
Some diners have asked for help choosing wine to suit their tastes and dishes, making it easy to decide together over a meal. Options include a changing selection of wines by the glass, orange wine and sangria, described as sweet and easy to drink.
From a single-serving antipasti platter to pizza, pasta and risotto, the menu offers plenty of ways to put together a meal to suit the group and the occasion.
