Needo – Fresh Made Pasta (Manawa Bay, Auckland)

The name “Needo” combines “knead” and “dough,” reflecting their commitment to crafting pasta with love. Ingredients are locally sourced from trusted suppliers, ensuring every dish reflects freshness and quality craftsmanship.

To promote sustainability, Needo serves its delicious dishes in eco-friendly paper bowls with bamboo cutlery, aiming to reduce plastic waste. Restaurants make use of energy-efficient appliances and implement stringent recycling programs to minimize their environmental impact.

We loved the Mac and cheese sauce, and the Basil Pesto dishes. Needo actively engages in local food festivals, offering cooking demonstrations and supporting local food banks.
