Arcimboldi occupies an old villa in Seatoun, where owners Alice Hill and Leith Wix have built a cafe and restaurant around food, art, nature and neighbourhood life. Opened in 2018, it feels deliberately removed from the rush of central Wellington. The back patio, local books and eclectic table pieces give the space the character of a well-loved community room rather than a polished destination that happens to sit in a suburb.

The name comes from the sixteenth-century artist Giuseppe Arcimboldi, known for portraits composed from fruit, vegetables and plants. Reproductions hang in the restaurant and feed into its natural approach to cooking. Fresh seasonal produce leads an Italian-and-Kiwi menu that can move from house-made pizza and rigatoni to crumbed fish, schnitzel, salads and steak with fries.

Arcimboldi works across the day as comfortably as it does at dinner. Fresh cabinet food, banana bread and the cafe's well-known muffins sit alongside coffee from the morning, while vegan-friendly cooking extends even to the pizza. Regular favourites remain important, but daily specials and occasional roast nights give locals a reason to return without losing the menu's hearty, familiar centre.

Wine from New Zealand and abroad, Wellington beer and a concise cocktail list make the evening service feel distinct from the daytime cafe. The restaurant also welcomes sports teams, book clubs and coffee groups, underlining its role as a gathering place. Whether the plan is a muffin on the patio, pizza and a local beer or a complete evening meal, the experience stays casual, personal and closely tied to Seatoun.
