Tripoli Bistro

Great coffee, delicious breakfast and lovely atmosphere. Groovy music and very friendly helpful staff. 10 out of 5

Great staff who were friendly and helpful. Great Italian foods, pasta and wine. Lots of people in there - always a good sign. Bit noisy when it was full at 7: 00pm but was better at 8: 00pm when some customers had left.

People if you are looking for authentic Italian food be it takeaway or in-house dining then this is your go to business. Had two very nice, generous sized pasta dishes that had lovely flavours especially the risotto. Definitely recommend.

Prompt service, food great, young Male waiter was awesome, answered any questions we had and offered details of our meals, timing etc. Very impressed with his service. Will eat there again without hesitation.

Very good experience and very inclusive restaurant! Thanks so much for feeding us yesterday!

Awesome cafe, the pulled pork burger was devine! The guy who served us was equally awesome and gave us some free muffins which were delicious! Highly recommend this place!

My family came over to Masterton and wanted me to meet them at Tripoli. But a vaccine passport is required. I won’t be going there EVER.

This was at 11am today, Friday 3rd December. My family texted me to say that I needed a vaccine passport as they were asked to produce theirs.

Yum yum - great atmosphere and lovely people. Had the Chicken Panini with a side of salad and a brownie.

We had a fantastic tapas meal here a couple of nights ago. Incredibly fast and excellent service. The food was delicious and the tiramisu was sublime! Highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back

This was an ok experience.

I had the pulled lamb pizza with tzatziki sauce which was barely evident. 24$

unfortunately this very small serving and not much on it. The bread although was nice, soft and crispy at edges and hand made. However overall it’s just not worth for 24$ as you can see from the picture.price should be more like 12 to 15 $.

15 of us had lunch. Very good menu. Service was excellent, we were all served together and the food very good.

Got the kumura croquettes, Greek salad and pumpkin pizza. The croquettes were pretty tasty, the Greek salad was a great side but sadly the pizza was a disappointment. It was dry, the pumpkin undercooked and I wouldn’t rate the base much.

Very friendly and greeted customers as soon as they came in. Food was tasty. Great service. Thanks

Bought 2 risottos for takeaway, 26 dollars each. Small container with very little risotto. Not value for money sorry. A couple weeks earlier bought a Hawaiian pizza for the first time for takeaway and only had 4 tiny pineapple chunks. I try and support local during these times but very disappointed.

My husband and I have been to the bistro at least four times in the past. Never has the food seemed quite as bland as this time. Has there been a change in the ownership? It is still good food, but it's definitely slipped.

Okay. The pizzas were huge but I didn't really enjoy them. The fish pizza had a very strong smell. The flavours were overwhelming in the other pizzas. Best choice of the table was the Lamb shanks and mash.

Loved it. The pizza was delicious- just like home made but better! So much better.

The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Update 2021: Back again a year later and still just as awesome.

We landed up on a Tuesday night when they have unlimited tapas and pizza for 39. Good choices and filling. We couldn't reach the pizza milestone. All on table must go for the unlimited offer and doggy bag allowed.

Stopped in at 3: 30pm. Full menu available. Service first class. Food was great. It is good being able to find something open at that time of the day. Place was filling up which is always a good sign.

I would not wish this place on my worst enemy - only because I don’t want them to enjoy a delicious meal and good service similar to what I just had - they don’t deserve it!

The pork belly was amazing and great pizza too - highly recommended.
