Restaurant catering by Ciao Cusina

Kia ora RSA whānau, My name is Ushan, and I’m absolutely thrilled to introduce myself and our team at Ciao Cusina, now proudly serving here at the RSA.

I’ve had the pleasure of working in hospitality for many years, including time at both the Avondale RSA and the Whangaparāoa RSA, which gave me a deep appreciaton for the strong sense of community and camaraderie that RSAs are known for.

Currently, I also work as a chef for a catering company providing healthy school meals for children—something I’m incredibly passionate about.  Now, with Ciao Cusina, I’m excited to bring that same care, creatvity, and love for food into this new chapter at the RSA.  I’m fortunate to be joined by a talented and dedicated team:

☼ Guri, who has worked alongside me closely and shares my love for delivering great food and service
☼ Subhash, Kanishka, and Rashmi, who each bring their own flair, skill, and energy to the kitchen.

We’re genuinely excited to be here and look forward to geƫng to know each of you over the coming weeks.  Whether it’s a hearty classic or something with a modern twist, we’re here to serve great meals with a smile and become part of the RSA family.

Thank you for welcoming us so warmly—we can’t wait to cook for you!
