We've just completed a week's holiday on Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. This was one of the memorable dining experiences for our stay.

We ate here with a large group and the staff easily fitted us in. The meals are huge - all the kiwi boys in our group raved about their huge steaks. My pasta was delicious but the serving was a bit extreme for my liking. They have a kids menu but again the servings are huge. Overall friendly staff but... More

We had the set steak meal at $NZ35 a head and got a really, really great steak, a very good salad bar and a very nice dessert. My wife also had garlic bread to start. The steaks were both very large and were cooked perfectly for each of us - one of the best steaks I've eaten anywhere (including Australia,... More

We very much appreciated the friendly welcome we received on a quiet night at this restaurant. The salad bar is a great idea and the pawpaw salad is delicious. The meat helpings were enormous. Alberto's is well worth a visit for tourists spending a week or so in Rarotonga. The NZ couple who run the restaurant are keen to provide... More

Very friendly service and excellent food in a nice atmosphere. We ate there twice and the quality of the food was consistantly good, particularly the fish dishes. The salad bar is also very good - try the paw paw salad -- heaven in a bowl. Thoroughly recommended.

So many people we spoke with during our holiday on Rarotonga said we had to go the Alberto's--so we did! We weren't disappointed either. Drove by around lunchtime and wrote our name and reservation details on the chalkboard outside-so easy. Pleasant relaxed atmosphere, excellent friendly service and huge meals. Generous basket of garlic bread for starters ,our big steaks were... More
