Reviews
"Really nice Italian restaurant just on the waterfront with view on the ocean. Pizzas Really tasty with good ingredients, nicely cooked and really good base with crunchy crust. Perfect spot for pizzas lover. Easy to find parking spot on streets around."
"On entry, the place has strong smells of garlic. The wine was ok. We had to get out table set upon request, rather than being offered it. Communication need to be improved. Food was a beetroot salad and Fries were too thin, all adding up to 25nzd. Array of wine choices, but nothing special."
"Fantastic service and wonderful food. The menu is Italian with a clear focus on quality. Combined with the views over the ocean and indoor / outdoor seating, I’ll definitely be back."
"Amazing restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine! I really enjoyed my visit and food and wine were excellent! Service was great and it was cool to have a little chat with the Italian owner. I felt like being in Bella Italia!"
"We stopped by at Dunedin on our South Island road trip. We hadn't planned to come to Esplanade Restaurant but I am so, so glad we did go in the end. It was my top 2 restaurants of 2022. With the waves crashing outside, spitting up spray in September, it was still cold enough that the heaters were on inside Esplanade. We came in at 6ish and had a table in 5 minutes. Filled up pretty quickly. The waitresses were attentive and warm, making us feel welcome, despite there being many customers. The food didn't take too long to come out. When it did and we dug in, it was stunning. The food was next level delicious. It tasted like Nonnas out the back were personally making the pasta, crushing the tomatoes for the bolognaise and balancing to perfection. I couldn't believe how good it was. Every bite, I was raving to my wife who just told me to shut up and eat otherwise she'd eat it all. Kids were wolfing down the pizza and pasta too. I wish this review could do it justice but it really doesn't. If you're visiting Dunedin, you must try Esplanade."
