Reviews of Esplanade Restaurant
g.
Delicious food, helpful staff and a fantastic spot for any time of the day. One of my favorite places in Dunedin. Would highly recommend them.
R.
One of the best places in town when it comes to views with a coffee or a vino. We go there whenever we want a lift in our moods. Walk on the beach, see happy dogs and then sit inside or outside on a table in this legendary restaurant. Great service and food that is not pretentious but yumm and authentic. Love you team.
Quick lunch stop with our friends from Auckland. They loved it, we love it anyway. Arancinis were delicately flavored with saffron and in thick tomato sauce and fresh grated parmesen cheese. Pizza in fresh baked base was delicious as well. Vino and coffee as per their usual high standards. Service was prompt with smiles. An absolute gem in sunny dunners. A wee stroll on the beach was a perfect finish to our afternoon.
D.
Fast Service ! Servers were very efficient. We came in at busy time and they were so good at multi tasking. Felt like they had mind connection to each other. You would never see them standing around doing nothing. Smiling is the best customer service. Keep it up ! No need to comment on the food they have the reputation already :)
S.
On our first visit to Dunedin 4 years ago, we stopped by the esplanade not knowing where exactly to eat. It's been 4 years in the country and being Italian-Canadian I refuse to eat pizza that is not authentically Italian. I decided to give this place a go for the the wood oven experience, double 00 flour i've seen sitting around the restaurant, and the imported tomato sauce also visible within shop. It was the best pizza i've had since Nonna's pizza back home in Canada. we've tried the calamari fritti, the tiramisu, the pesto calzone, a few of the pasta options, lasagna, and we always, always, always get the pizza. We always leave The Esplanade happy, satisfied with the food, the chefs, the service, and the beautiful aura of the atmosphere. We had a JiuJitsu tournament in Dunedin/Mosgiel not long ago, so I made sure the team and I made it over there after for a nice celebratory dinner! We usually end off our meal with a coffee (and sometimes dessert if we are not too full). The beans are perfectly roasted already, and the coffee never burnt or left with a bitter taste. Thank you for always getting my cappuccino with cinnamon on top correct. Very hard to find barista's that can actually decipher the difference between a latte and cappuccino. Gracie Mille!
Y.
Great pizza. Usually come here for special occasions. Wouldn't come here for the pasta personally. Staff are friendly. Warm, and rustic atmosphere.
M.
Nice little restaurant, right by the sea. Good service but my meal was a little disappointing. Ordered the seafood pizza and honestly if I didn't know what I'd ordered I would have never known it was seafood as the topping was so frugal. Nothing like the old days of the pizza-hut marinara seafood pizza. However the base was delicious and so was the pizza sauce.
W.
Hands down the best Italian restaurant in Dunedin and possibly in Aotearoa. That cheese selection... yum!
m.
Nice spot with a spectacular sea view, lively environment.
We went there in a group of 6 and ordered a variety of foods. Everyone was satisfied with the food quality and rated it either 'good' or 'excellent'.
Service was good and timely and stuff were friendly.
B.
Had the most fabulous lunch with incredible service. Would come again just for the awesome front of house manager. She knew the food and drinks menu off by heart and was able to suggest and recommend exactly to our tastes - perfection!
C.
Excellent service, delicious food and stunning views. Can't go wrong 👌
D.
The perfect way to start a Saturday morning. Coffee made to perfection and tasty treats. The service was warm and very professional
n.
Food is a bit oily for my liking but good service and cozy place.
R.
They were so awesome. They were super busy, we had just arrived in Dunedin and hadn't booked. After a short wait we had a table, service was awesome, food was great. Thanks for a great evening.
D.
Very impressed with the service and meal that I had ....although I had to bring half of my pizza home cos it was too much for me to eat. Interesting that the pizzas were cooked in a fire oven so tasted awesome.
D.
They are my favourite place in New Zealand now! The food was perfect. Very flavoured and fresh. The French fries was huge (for two people probably) Staff was friendly.
5 stars.
D.
😍 Had the wonderful experience of having dinner at this place! Simply WONDERFUL! If I was not living in Auckland, I’d definitely come back more often, several times. Also lovely staff.
L.
The food was really delicious full of flavour extremely busy so might pay to book ahead of time. Really nice beachfront views. A bit on the expensive side especially for a lunch meal but overall good experience
H.
Great food, great water front location, fast friendly service, great atmosphere. Only drawback is they don't take reservations but tables turn over fairly quickly. And parking can be a bit trying.
T.
Delicious food and a great atmosphere with great waiting staff and views over the pacific. You can smell the garlic and pizza cooking from outside. That sold me instantly.
E.
My best experience in Dunedin!🤤 Best restaurant EVER! Please try "formaggi al forno"😍 and the pasta "pappardelle" definitely a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Also they have ice creams from Patagonia, Dulce de leche flavor, amazing!
T.
The food was excellent, however, on a Saturday night, probably not worth the long wait. If you've got the time and it's a warm evening, however, grab a glass of something and enjoy the St. Clair sunset.
O.
Probably one of the the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. Top tip on the weekend would be to either go late or early. We went kind of bang on 7pm on a Saturday night and had to wait 45 mins. Lucky it was a nice night so we went for a walk up the beach. The service is very efficient. We tried the baked cheese and aranccini to start which were delicious. The baked cheese was more than enough for the 3 of us. For mains we got the lamb ragu pasta, lasagne and the pork sausage with the shell pasta (can't remember what it was called). All were delicious but the lamb was the winner. By the time we sat down and ordered it had cleared out a lot just after 8pm. Highly reccomended for a destination dinner in Dunners.
M.
St Clair is awesome place. Cafes, Restaurants, Beach side walk and good surf spot. Breakfast selection is very good and excellent view and service.
m.
This is a very complicated close up photo I took of inside this restaurant around the corner with the main beach views from where I sat before having lunch for the first time with Trixie Vosseler the driver and support worker I really enjoyed one half each of salmon flavoured pizza, a bowl of chips, and a filled water glass from one table after a walk along the track to the second beach walk via Esplanade. Then I got a ride back home after an excursion in the urban city area.
K.
Amazing restaurant highly recommend. Amazing food and service. Well priced for the quality of food! You cannot book so it does sometimes pay to go in a little early than busy times. The woodfire pizza is fantastic as is the pasta dishes.
Also great for a coffee or wee cocktail.
P.
We loved the pizzas & the vibe. It was super cozy, perfect for some food & wine.
We saw cannoli on the dessert menu -- my all time Italian favourite. We rarely order a dessert but since the food was good we decided to give it a go. Unfortunately, they didn't deliver. The cannolo was super small and pretty bland to be honest. Lost a star for that, sorry.
E.
Been coming here for years and always love it here. Great food with even greater views, couldn't ask for more :)
Z.
Love the pizza very traditional style which I love, plenty of anchovies for those who love them (me) and suprisingly well priced for the location
R.
Beautiful location and really good customer service! Good pizzas, dessert, coffee ☕ and fries 🍟 with aioli. Thank you, manager Luca. Thank you Annie, Sky and others for giving us a lot of aioli and look after us! You guys are the best 👌
Z.
Awesome spot on the beachfront. One of the best restaurants in Dunedin with by far the best pizza in town. Good portions and reasonably priced. Customer service is faultless too. Highly recommended.
G.
A very good breakfast location. I was not expecting a seaside Italian restaurant. Superb coffee.
D.
Really good Italian food which i find is a rarity in New Zealand. Only 4 stars as the service was a bit slow and not very welcoming.
Y.
Very nice Pasta, friendly service, often gets busy and sometimes I found not enough space for dining when we have around 10 people together so I think booking essential.
K.
Gorgeous pizza and pasta (gf available). We had the gf meatballs and they were so good! Nice view of beach from restaurant.
F.
Brunch here is seriously under rated. If you’ve had an amazing dinner here like I have multiple times, the brunch is just as good. A nice refuge from a stormy windy day with a fireplace. Italian influences breakfast dishes are much more interesting than the boring food you find at most other Dunedin restaurants
N.
The Esplanade is in my top3 restaurant of Dunedin. Its only drawback is that it is not a restaurant in my perspective but "just a pizzeria", otherwise I love to go there.
The place looks good, waiters are nice and professional (most of them are Italian), it is clean, the view on the ocean is great, but above all their pizza are, from far, the best pizzas in Dunedin, specially if you are looking for European taste.
The dough is really thin, it is nice and subtile, with delicate flavours.
I also tried some antipasti, the clams were absolutely perfectly cooked.
To sum up it is an amazing place to go chill after a walk on the beach with one of the best quality food in Dunedin.
M.
Nice, cozy restaurant. Excellent service. The staff were so amazing. We had a birthday lunch, the staff were very accommodating, even got a wee little candle for the slice of dark choc cake. Thank you for making it special for my birthday girl.
For the food. The pizza 'Frutti di mare' was really good.
But the 'Reginette zafferano' pasta with mussels and clams, was way too bitter. It must be the sauce or from the mussels, but the pasta dish gave a bitter after-taste.
Other than that, really enjoyable evening.
Thank you. Will visit again. 👍
S.
Service initially friendly and helpful but as it became busier couldn't attract anyone over for ages to take dirty plates away and order more food drinks. Pasta was dry and hard in places. Sauce was non-existent and the few scallops were over cooked. Not the best meal I've had but the setting lovely. However that doesn't fill you when you're hungry. Would like to return to try pizzas as they looked great.
H.
Stunning atmosphere here. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Ocean view. Good music playing. Worth the price.
A.
We visited at lunchtime on an overcast Sunday and had a great time. I had sardines on bruschetta and a caprese salad, which were not only individually delicious but they also complemented each other nicely. My wife's gnocchi were pillow-like and served with a delightful sauce, while my grandmother's meatballs were super tasty and well complimented by a well-balanced tomato sauce. The service was also excellent, and our food arrived promptly. A great spot, with nice seaside walking opportunities right outside the door.
H.
Stopped by for a mid-afternoon Sunday pizza and beer. The pizza is done in a brick oven and absolutely fantastic, even if it did feel a ~little~ on the pricey side for the size (24, 25 dollars a pie). Beer selection felt a little scant, surprisingly, but maybe we were just too hasty to settle on a pitcher of Emerson’s 1812 for a reasonable $20.
Vegans: I did visit a year or two ago and we managed a decent vegan meal, but I remember it feeling a little constrained (like most restaurants tbh), but it’s good food.
Pictured: The four cheese,* which includes gorgonzola but no ricotta for a different, but •very• satisfying take on the classic.
*Which of course goes by some Italian name on the menu — though that’s no gimmick to fancy up the joint: much of the staff is Italian and the maître d’ was happy to converse it with the couple next to us.
S.
This is my regular go to place for coffee, pizza, chips and calamary. The manager Luka is highly professional and he keeps the customer service impeccable. Very friendly place at the heart of Dunedin.
a.
great venue and view, lovely food, covid compliant!
C.
very delicious food and great service... very busy, so you may have to wait patiently for a table - but worth the wait!
k.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Great food in a great atmosphere. Highly recommend.
M.
Our guide recommended this place. Cute beach front local pizza place in St. Clair. Pizza was delicious--choices (toppings) might be limited if you're from the US. Thin crust similar to CPK. Salad fresh and yummy. Prices reasonable. Wish we had more time to hang out.
T.
Fabulous all day resturant, we truly battled to find a drink and something to eat in Dunedin on a Monday at 3.30 we googled and googled and fell upon Esplanade, we would go everyday if only we had known about it and the St Clair area, nothing impressed us us in the City of Dunedin, commercial eating and very student oriented and disappointing, but Esplanade resturant and the area of St Clair was totally different with a top notch owner who never misses a beat.
S.
Great environment, friendly staff, nice food and beautiful view. Recommended!
G.
The Best. What a fantastic atmosphere with a delightful menu - filled with friendly people - great ambience. I can't recommend Esplanade Restaurant enough.
R.
Excellent service very friendly staff very clean high standard of food
Totally highly recommend this restaurant.
C.
Fabulous atmosphere. Great staff. Gorgeous food. Shared multiple dishes with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. Will definitely be going back to try more of the menu!
G.
Toto pizza and oven beetroot was the right choice. So good.
L.
Quick service, great food and really friendly staff. Would recommend
f.
The manager is amazing and many others could take a leaf out of his book 📖😀 polite, friendly, welcoming and exceptional flexible. Food is way past amazing, you will come away full, satisfied and happy. The Food is flavorful, tasty and delicious A variety of foods to suit your tastes and family needs 😋❤ They even made my Lactose free milk hot cocoa ~ ingredients supplied by me, however they happily made it ~ with a smile and charged nothing. Absolutely go to Esplanade for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Amazingly staff members.
R.
The location is truly stunning, right beside St Clair beach. This makes it very convenient- if you are going on a beach walk and want a bite to eat afterwards, this is the place for you.
The staff are wonderfully friendly in my experience which really takes it up a notch in enjoyment factor.
As for the food, I find they do main meals very well and their chips are divine. Their drinks menu could do with a little improvement though- I ordered the Whittaker's milkshake (as shown in picture) because I'd heard it was good, but it was underwhelming and quite expensive. Their desserts are also quite overpriced.
R.
The pizza here is probably the best in Dunedin, and you can not beat the view of the ocean. Good beer and cocktail selections, starters are good as well. Would be a good place is you are looking for a quick bite or if you want a lunch or dinner. A bit expensive but worth the price.
J.
Very nice pizza and chips. View was also great a Dunna stunns
P.
Didn't try the food, but a great place for a drink overlooking the ocean.
M.
We went there on a rainy and extremely windy day. Just at the corner you can get a glimpse of St clairs beautiful beach. The staff was extremely warm.
s.
Enjoy delicious Italian food and amazing customer service while taking in the beautiful scenery of the ocean! Had pizzas for dinner, as well as coffee + donut + PB choc milkshake. All were fantastic! Always being served with a smile.
f.
This restaurant was AMAZING!! Service great. Food unbelievable. Couldn’t decide and was recommended the ravioli- best ever!! Boys had pizza and they were very happy. Ended the evening with espresso martini’s which were awesome. Fantastic service and atmosphere. Thanks for a great night.
N.
Great atmosphere, fantastic food and friendly service.
T.
Drinks are good, food and service is fantastic, but the view... That os AMAZING!
G.
Dropped in for a quick breakfast and really enjoyed the Italian flair to the usual classics. Friendly staff and awesome view over to the surfers out on the waves.
C.
Beautiful location & good atmosphere !
Pizza was delicious but the pasta a bit dry.
Service okay, normal.
P.
Located just next to the iconic beach. This place is very cosy . The price may not be cheap but they do make good coffee , good hot chocolate
It's nice to have on a cold winter day ! Keeps you warm
M.
Fantastic location in St Clair. Views are beautiful.
Good pizzas and local wine
T.
One of the best cafe/restaurants in Dunedin. Great food and coffee; very friendly and obliging staff. No wonder the place is so popular. And it helps being by the ocean at St Clair!
M.
Great service, friendly staff. Good coffee
R.
A glorious and very authentic Italian restaurant. The simple salads (one was basically different types of tomatoes, lumps of mozzarella, a couple of leaves liberally drowned in olive oil). The seafood pizza was great, thin base with outrageously solid crust around the outside. Working on sampling their breakfast right now, the baking is excellent too.
R.
Great views, pizza and service. A favourite spot in Dunedin.
D.
Good food post surfing session. The pumpkin was super tasty and the pizzas were solid. Friendly staff. Recommended.
E.
Love the clam white wine fresh pasta! Always get that when I go there.
A.
Great food, recommend the lamb pasta and the lasagne. Also a great wine list, the chianti went down well at our table. They don't take bookings so can be a bit of a wait for a table (go a little early) but worth it. Lovely atmosphere and wait staff. Cater really well to dietary needs with lots of GF DF options and willingness to modify dishes (they made the risotto without butter for me)
J.
Great spot opposite the beach. Husband enjoyed his cooked breakfast. I had a Scone - Cheese/green leaf? Sorry I've forgotten BUT .. Beautiful.
D.
Best Italian you will find in Dunedin with excellent friendly staff and a wonderful view. All pasta is made in house so is great. Always come here whenever we are in Otago
G.
Popped in for a coffee and enjoy the view. Ended up getting one of their pizzas after seeing one come out of the oven. Best pizza I've had for a long time, just delicious. Service was excellent too. Compulsory visit whenever we go to Dunedin now.
Y.
I love, love, love going to the Esplanade. Great pizza and pasta and the breakfasts are sublime. Great food coupled with friendly welcoming service in a to die for from row seats at the St Clair beach!
M.
Food is great, hence the 4 stars. Pizzas, in particular, are delicious. I also like the way they do their chips. The service that we got the second time was better than the first.
D.
Great coffee, healthy breakfast menu lovely warm venue with beach views, can’t wait to come back and try one of your pizzas!
T.
My family and I had the opportunity to have dinner a couple of times in this restaurant. The food is great, whatever you pick up on the menu. The pizzas are amazing. Highly recommended!somehow they squeezed us in although we didn't book. we just had to have a drink at the bar while we waited. the bar area was really congested but it all added to the atmosphere.
K.
Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff and the best pizza. Will miss this place when I leave Dunedin!
B.
Great breakfast, coffee and service. Got to try out Karma cola for the first time too. Delish!
K.
Walked in and got seated immediately although next night had queue great waitperson .Went and got answers from chef re ingredients promptly .awesome food generous portion sizes .reasonable prices and excellent Pinot Gris on offer Well worth several visits .great sea views
M.
Really liked the food here but was too much for us. Shared a pizza and fries between 2 but couldn't finish it all. They were happy for me to take home the leftovers.
M.
Went this morning for brunch, blown away with the service. Was my husband's birthday so when they brought out the doughnut he ordered they had placed a candle in it and sang happy birthday alongside us. Marguerita pizza was delicious, the ragu with local havoc pork was incredible. Thanks will return and would highly recommend
T.
Awesome food and service. Our families favorite food. Been there literally hundreds of times. The food is always exceptional. Best Italian food on the south island!
R.
One of the best Italian in Dunedin!
I.
Had a great night, restsurant was really busy, service was exceptional, staff friendly, pancetta pizza was yum.
C.
It's good, but my mum hates the antipasto platter so you lose a star
J.
Regular visitor to this restaurant. Very full and busy but service was great and food delicious. Had Zuppa Pescatore (a favorite of mine) and garlic pizza bread.
M.
Arrived in that Friday evening from the airport, drove down and checked out this amazing place. Welcomed in enjoyed their Beautiful food selection of pizzas and pasta dishes. Also Awesome customer service 😊 Definitely be back 👍
J.
Great place had Crispy Calzone it was yummy!!!
P.
It was okay excellent service friendly atmosphere.
Food nothing to write home about Garlic must be expensive.
J.
A beautiful place for a meal....lovely view from our window table. Staff were great.
J.
Beautiful place, great service. Chill but elegant. Cosy and friendly. Prices a bit steep, but it's worth it for the overall experience.
U.
The Esplanade has amazing Italian Pizza and drinks. All the staff were amazing and made our dining experience alot better.
L.
Had a late lunch here today. It's my new favorite place in Dunedin! Loved it! Delicious (fennel sausage, truffle oil, mushroom) pizza from the pizza oven, lovely tasty green mint iced tea. My companion enjoyed the beer choices. Many tables look out onto the ocean a mere 20 metres away. Or you can enjoy the wood fire. Loved the atmosphere. Pleasant waitstaff. Not pretentious but not overly "she'll be right"ish. Easy, free parking. Even the "restroom" was superior.
Highly recommend.
S.
Lovely scenery while having lunch. Hefty prices, mediocre service.
M.
One of Dunedin's absolute gems. Not only is it in a beautiful spot, the food is absolutely top notch and reasonably priced. Excellent vegan options on request. Often busy, but the wait for a table is worth it. The service - especially that of the maître d' - is some of the best in the city. My favourite restaurant in Dunedin; they're doing everything right here.
J.
Good food, Good coffee just let down by service. If you arnt a big group they have no interest. Having to follow up on my coffee order well after I'd finished my meal.
S.
Very busy but the maître d managed to get us a seat which we were grateful for. We got off to a bad start with the waitress bringing us the wrong bottle of wine but it was rectified and the rest of our dining experience was a pleasure. The food was good and the atmosphere was great.
N.
Went here for Breakfast.
This is a nice venue. Great location.
Sea view.
The breakfast menu is a bit alternative.
I ordered the “esplanade breakfast “.
If they put the same effort into the meal that they have put into over describing the menu it would have been good.
Instead of bacon the meal included prosciutto. I thought about getting bacon as a side as well but thought they would probably do a good job without it. The extras menu had ham as well.
When the “esplanade breakfast” arrived it was very small. The eggs had been cooked without any love and the “prosciutto “ was cheap ham from the supermarket.
Very disappointing.
I’m not usually one to moan but this was very over rated.
S.
Visited this iconic Café again today. Awesome setting and brilliant staff. Thoroughly recommend. Many thanks for another wonderful experience.
N.
Best Italian restaurant in Dunedin. This place is a gem, fabulous real Italian food made by Italian chefs. I have been back twice already.
L.
Nice French fried, coffee, pizza etc and Dunedin beach scenery.
J.
Lovely hot coffee and the savory scroll was delicious 😋
J.
I have been here many times and they never disappoint. Great to grab a coffee and walk along the beach and as a beautiful dinner location.
Y.
Great service and food. Amazing view with St Clair beach just out of the windows.
B.
What a magic place, fantastic staff and great food. The atmosphere was just humming, very busy and yet the food come out in a flash.. yummy food they were only to happy to help with changing pizza toppings etc.. Would go back in a flash :-)
T.
Great service good food very enjoyable
S.
Very busy and too many tables crammed into a small area. This impacted on the service but not too much. Food and wine good although my anchovy and caper pizza was too salty for me due to over generosity with adding same to pizza. Good selection on the drinks list; husband tried a West Coast beer and loved it. Great for a group but not for an intimate meal - I was closer to the woman at the table next to me than I was to my husband. Even as packed as it was we easily got a table (they don't take bookings) and didn't wait too long for food.
F.
I can’t give more stars. Absolutely fabulous!
Please try the Canolli ❤️
C.
Great spot, friendly staff, tasty food but portions size are half what they should be for the prize being paid.
I.
Really accommodating for special diets (vegans/vegetarians/allergies) and a nice selection of cocktails as well. Staff were friendly and the view is great.
H.
Went for a coffee and hot choco with my family on a Friday lunch time and it was bustling. Brilliant views and a great vibe. Delish hot chocos
J.
Amazing staff. Amazing food. 10/10 service
D.
The service was fantastic and so was lunch
E.
Delicious
I went their with my family and everything tasted amazing.
Everyone their was super friendly
10/10
W.
We went here for a hot cuppa and dessert. The Butterscotch Cream was to die for. It was absolutely devine. I loved every last morsel. Others with me had the tiramisu and the Knickerbocker Glory and all thoroughly enjoyed theirs as well. Great atmosphere, great service, great food.
L.
Delicious food, great service & atmosphere and brilliant view.
A.
Although a busy Monday night, the staff were friendly and attentive. The risotto and beef pappadelle were both excellent. Easy to see why they are always busy.
N.
Great service, authentic food, good atmosphere.
c.
Authentic and superbly managed. Great venue
H.
Great food very friendly staff. The manager Luca (I think) he is simply superb!
A.
Can't say enough about the staff, they are awesome! And the food is delicious, especially the pizza. Add the great location and it's perfection. Great for a meal, or just to stop in for a drink or a coffee. We are very lucky to have this place in our neighbourhood!
F.
Very good pizzas. The service was a bit disappointing - after receiving our food noone came back to check if we needed more drinks, and the wait until someone came to ask if we wanted dessert was just too long. It wasn't a very busy night. That was my first time there, the regulars I went with reassured me it was unusual though.
K.
The service is always outstanding whether it is over the phone or face to face. The pizza choices are not only wide but also unique and the ingredients used are always on point. If you don't eat the crust on your typical pizza then trust me, these may change your mind. Furthermore the rest of the menu and selection of drinks covers all types of palettes and satisfies any hunger or appetite. Whether you are on a date or simply out with family for lunch/dinner there is no restaurant next to the beach quite like it.
M.
This restaurant have the best pizza in Dunedin. The service is excellent and the ambience of the place with the roaring fireplace is most welcome on a cold winter's night. We were all very happy eating and having a good conversation. The place is always full and there is no reservation. First come first serve.
A.
Wonderful place ! On the St Clair waterfront, with a very nice view on the waves and St Clair beach, we went three times at Esplanade. Always a pleasure. Very kind and friendly staff, there is a « private » room, where you can sit 20 persons. Perfect for birthday and private function. Food is very fresh and you have a large choice of authentic Italian special meals ! Buenissimo !
J.
We were a group of 9 and turned up late and the joint was still jumping. I had a delicious pasta and pork dish. Loved the stock that was used. One of our group received her pizza after most of us were finished. I was uncomfortable with eating in front of her so pointed out her situation and asked how they could compensate her. In the end she didn't pay for the meal. Mistakes happen, it's nice to have things acknowledged. 'Sorry' is not enough.
R.
Stopped here with my Motorcycle Club for a coffee. Coffee was good and reasonable priced. Staff were friendly too but didn’t get anything to eat so can’t comment on that side of things. Place looked clean and tidy. Will be back
J.
Authentic Italian Pizza and pasta dishes. The flour is from Italy as they use it to make the Pizza bases. No skimping on quality and quantity for very reasonably priced food. They do breakfast, lunch and dinner. Coffee is great with one of the home made donuts!! Child friendly. It can be very busy but there is plenty of seating inside and out.
N.
Stunning setting on the esplanade with sea views. Fantastic coffee, delicious granola and quick, cheerful service.
B.
Food to die for! Normally we choose pizza over pasta, but we branched out from the norm. I got the pasta with pork sausage, potentially one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten. Lovely service too
K.
One of our favourite Dunedin restaurants. Authentic Italian food in a beautiful space by the sea. Wonderful menu choices - their handmade ravioli is off the hook! Family friendly and great for dinner, but also a great place to meet friends for a drink and nibbles.
L.
The staff are so helpfull. I love the Salmon Pizza and every pasta dish I have had has been great. The atmosphere is fantastic would definatley recomend a window seat as the view is incredible. We have a tradition of going here for lunch.
S.
Fantastic restaurant. Great vibe. Great service. Incredible food. My 2nd favourite Italian restaurant in the whole of New Zealand. Thank you team.
C.
Great food, had to wait till we even had someone attend to us once we were seated. But food was awesome
V.
Lovely waiters. The creme pot is a great dessert. Pizza is good, not the best pizza place around though. Chips are fantastic (they put garlic butter on them)
I.
Choose any dish you are not mistaken. Very tasty. Cozy. The service is great. Magnificent view from the window.
Y.
This spot is a classic, with delicious Italian fare. I loved the casarecce pasta and Margherita pizza. The decor has a charming vibe which could be described as being the lovechild of a New York pizza joint with a Wellington beachfront cafe.
F.
Very nice Pizza. The small antepasti is plenty to share for 3. My two dinner companions had pasta. They took part of each one home for lunch the next day. IThe tables by the windows have a wonderful view of the sea
D.
Their menu offers to work to your dietary needs, but I was disappointed that my vegan pasta included no protein. Neither the waitress or the chef seemed to think that was a problem. Basically an over-priced small-sized meal place. Disappointing.
J.
Probably more of a 4.5 star. We went when it was busy and they got the food out quick smart. Friendly service and tasty pizzas, especially those that had artichoke which was cooked perfectly.
P.
delicious pizza. fast and friendly service. good beer !
K.
Great atmosphere, staff and meals. Would definitely recommend, and go again next time in Dunedin.
s.
Best seaview here. Good food. Nice staff.
L.
Amazing pizzas. Better than the one's we thought were great in Milan. Great location. Really friendly service.
H.
Waited 40min for pizza and pasta.... Pasta wasn't cook through very disappointed. Then manager came just when i finish paying and offered us a voucher for next time. Pretty good customer service by the manager
m.
Loved the food. Service was awesome. Well looked after. Atmosphere was relaxing with a nice vibe overlooking the beach.
R.
Great cosy place to enjoy some good times and beach views
L.
I love the piccante pizza. Excellent rocket salad. Nice red wine on tap. Fantastic views.
F.
Great location, great view, food.. not so much.
Had the Conchiglia pasta and a Margherita pizza. It was my first time tasting pasta like this so maybe that can be put down to personal taste, but the boiled meat, watery sauce, and sour aftertaste didn't leave me wanting more.
I've had plenty of Margherita pizzas before though, and I was pretty disappointed. It had a soggy base and the tomato sauce tasted like someone had drained a can of Watties Spaghetti and topped it with cheese and too much oil.
If the food didn't cost so much then maybe I wouldn't be as let down. Cost a combined $48 excluding drinks.
Probably won't be coming back here for dinner. Would still recommend if you want a few drinks and nibbles though. Coffee was pretty great also.
L.
Had Dinner with a friend on Tuesday night. Food was delicious and service great, Its expensive but I feel is value for money as quality and taste were spot on. Wait staff could speak to all the dishes which is wonderful and they were keen to interact with us. I would definitely go back.
B.
I was really impressed by the traditional style Italian pizza I ate and helpful customer service including going above and beyond when I enquired about one option and chose another they brought a sample of the one I didn't choose so I know to try it next time. I would definitely go back. They seem to listen to customers too. Last time I went they didn't have chips but they have chips now!
M.
The restaurant is located on the beach. Parking lots are available. The food served is mainly Italian. But also there is other food to order. Depending on the weekday table reservation is recommended.
B.
Great busy place never fails to deliver great food and service
W.
Extensive range of traditional and fruit teas + tasty range of pastries cooked onsite.
V.
Had an impromptu lunch here with family and friends- delicious food with helpful and prompt service.
C.
Fine nosh indeed. Try the Blue Cod and Chips and experience Nirvana👌
I.

Staff & food sensational, went back another 2 times over the weekend. If you are there over the weekend you must try their donuts, absolutely beautiful!
F.
6 if us turned up without a booking and they worked to get us a table as soon as possible. Great Italian food! Staff friendly and helpful.
T.
Delicious food and great service here. Never fails to impress. Great atmosphere and view with nice friendly staff.
P.
Great tasting food, doesn't let you book tables in advance, so hit it down to 4/5.
A.
Fantastic dinner of pizzas and pasta, service was fantastic and staff were all great and really friendly. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town! 😁
N.
Great italian restaurant by the beach. Friendly staff, lovely ambience, delicious food and drinks. Highly recommend.

H.
The food is amazing here as well as the atmosphere. I will definitely be returning for another chai and brownie soon!
M.
Nice food, nice service and amazing view.
B.
Excellent Italian experience, right down to the Montenegro amaro. The view of the waves also can't be beat.
L.
The perfect spot after a long walk at the beach. Authentic dishes - their pizza made me feel like I was back in Italy. Friendly staff, highly recommended!
D.
Delicious food and great view of the ocean. And lovely to hear the chefs talking Italian...
T.
Lovely good, really attentive staff
J.
Staff not at all welcoming. Serving staff quite rude. Food okay but wouldn't be in a hurry to make return visit.
C.
Staff are super friendly and helpful, they actually know what their talking about when you ask them about items on the menu. Menu has a great variety of both mains and dessert. View is spectacular as well—day or night.
A.
The food is amazing. Been there 3 times, had pizza twice and pasta the last time. More than satisfied every time. Fast and helpful service.
E.
Cosy place with a nice view on the sea. The staff was really friendly. Nice meals but I was a bit disappointed by the dessert : the brûlée lemon tart which did not taste lemon.
W.
We dined at Esplanade for lunch. We were a party of eight comprised of four adults and four children. I shared the prosciutto pizza (crudo di parma, rocket, mozzarella) with my eight year old daughter. It was outstanding! The service was also quite good.
Esplanade would have received five stars had there not been an instance in the kitchen that skeeved me out. I watched the chef make the pizza through the open kitchen. I watched the chef place the prosciutto on the finished baked pizza. He ate the last bit of prosciutto himself and to my dismay proceeded to place the rocket on the pizza before washing his hands.
We live just around the corner so I plan to come back because the food was that good, but I will be a bit more careful to avoid ordering something as tempting as prosciutto in the future.
P.
Beautiful location and views from restaurant. Service was very good but brunch was disappointing. Toasted ciabarta was not really toasted enough and avocado smash was more pureed avo that appeared to be made earlier in the day.
L.
Our favourite local for lunch or dinner or even just drinks and nibbles! Always good. Bustling with a great location by the seaside.
여.
Good atmosphere but very salty food.
A.
Superb location, sparkling service, and exquisite food!
E.
Visited in March and intended trying City restaurants over the 2 days were stayed in St Clair BUT after popping in for lunch were hooked.My daughter is a chef and my sister widely traveled and are pretty hard to please. Delicious food; friendly,helpful staff and very reasonable prices.Thank you for making a very special trip more memorable.
P.
Great location and ambience. From the restaurant we can look through the window to the beach and the street where people do surfing, walking, jogging and the beach here is fantastic.
The food was great with a good service!
L.
This place is a gem! In front of the beach, good food and cocktails, nice staff... will be coming back
c.
I’m giving this restaurant five stars because of the following: I was at The Esplanade for late lunch after driving from Oamaru to Dunedin to go to a concert in the evening when to my horror I realised I had left the printed tickets at home. I only had the email which instructed that the tickets must be printed. My friend, to my embarrassment, took the initiative to ask the manager if he had a printer. But he was SO obliging; kindly allowed me to forward the email to him, mistakenly printed the wrong thing but then went back to his office and then printed off the correct tickets. All of this during a reasonably busy time in the restaurant and with smiling goodwill. Food was fine, good wine, great situation, excellent service by all staff. But most of all my vote for the restaurant manager of the year goes to the lovely Italian man who made it possible for my friend and I to see Stevie Nicks without a hassle at the gate!
L.
Clean tidy very friendly staff food great view fab what more could one ask for
r.
As we entered we were met by the owner and he seated us and made us feel so welcome, next the staff came to us and offered menus and water and gave us time to make up our minds, what a lovely experience, everything was top service, beautiful meal and snacks, would highly recommend this place to all.
M.
A bit too cheesy but other then that very delightful <3

B.
Seafood Wood fire pizza was incredible. Great service and atmosphere
A.
Good beers on tap even if you have to repeat one word three times. Great pizza & view.
D.
My flat white was barely lukewarm l also noticed that other peoples flat whites were in tulip cups but mine was in a bowl shaped cup go figure. Would have given two stars but for the charming view an pleasant ambience gets three.
