Our Story

60 years of great steaks and cherished moments...
Once an Italian pasta house, Tony's has evolved into a dining destination renowned for its perfectly cooked steaks and timeless charm. Our menu, featuring favourites like the Carpet Bag - a succulent fillet steak stuffed with oysters - has withstood the test of time, remaining consistent and true to our roots. Stepping into Tony's is like walking into a living piece of history, where grandparents, parents, and children have all shared memorable experiences.
Our success, however, wouldn't have been possible without the loyalty and support of our customers, who have returned time and time again for special occasions, family gatherings, and simple steak dinners. When faced with potential closure during the pandemic, it was the unwavering support of our patrons that breathed new life into Tony's, allowing us to continue serving our community.
Join us at Tony's Steakhouse and experience the comforting familiarity, delicious steaks, and captivating history that has made us Auckland's oldest and most cherished restaurant. We look forward to welcoming you and creating new memories together.
