Here's the thing about a big night at One NZ Stadium (Te Kaha): we're a five-minute stroll away.
So when you've got tickets to what's next — the game, the gig, the big one — pull up a stool with us *first.*

Italian soul, no clichés (and no soggy stadium chips).

Don't leave it to the night-of, book ahead: https://www.barfranco.nz/pre-stadium-dining

Food is love and we're not subtle about it. 😉

Big weekend in Christchurch. ✨The first ever games at - years of rebuilding, waiting, believing. If that doesn’t call for a Negroni, we don’t know what does.
We’re five minutes from the stadium. Come in before the game, after the game, or both 😉. We’ll be here all weekend, ready to celebrate with you.

Not necessarily in that order. Closed Good Friday & Easter Sunday. Con amore. 🍋
