zucchini bros

first time we have ever tried zucchini bros and i'm delighted to say it was fantastic. at first when the pasta came out i was a little worried about the portion size, turns out i couldn't finish it anyway. friendly staff, amazing food and superb atmosphere. i may have just found my new fave in dunedin.
they also have a nice selection of drinks from around nz and its nice not to be stuck with the generic brands you always see in most restaurants. the price was also brilliant at 80 odd dollars all up including desserts.
would defiantly recommend zucchini bros for meal out.

would give it 6/5

the aroma of italiana greets you as you walk through the door, closely followed by the greeting by the staff. website suggested you book, and that's a great idea. even on a tuesday night, it got busy quite quickly.
nice and warm, great service and excellent, honest food.
we had one of their 20-odd pizzas on offer and it was great. a large size easily feeds 2 ( unless you are awfully hungry).
visitor, student or local, great place to.eat.

nice food a must try. nice ambience quality service. chef is pretty good asks for opinions. pizza bases are very delicious 😋

fabulous service, yum food and a great time.

really enjoyed the pizzas here. these are probably the best pizzas we have had in a long time. the staff here are very friendly and welcoming and its was very nice and warm and cozy inside. the mojito was delicious, heaps of fresh lime juice and mint and very refreshing. i had the feta salami and olive pizza. the base was a nice thickness and very crispy. and there wasn't too much topping, just enough of everything to make it like a real italian pizza which i like. would love to come here again. the pizzas are just the right size

pros:i am from taiwan-an asian country and i've never been a big fan of cheese-related or creamy cuisine but this restaurant has totally impressed me with their hopelessly delicious carbonara! best carbonara ever !!! an incredible restaurant.

cons: cook smoke is bit too much inside the restaurant.

we came here without a booking on a busy saturday night. the staff had a table for us and were very welcoming and friendly. the beer selection is vast with some great selections. we ordered a couple of pizzas to share and they were great my favourite was the pulled pork special pizza very yummy.

saturday night dinner at zucchini brothers for three of us. we decided to concentrate on the specials and what a good decision that turned out to be. we started with the mozzarella from nelson salad. not as good as the clevedon buffalo mozzarella but still very good. that was followed by the prawns, asparagus and lemon spaghetti which was sublime and we will be back to try that dish again! another advantage of zucchini brothers is that you can take your own wine so we raided the wine cellar and a 2001 sesti brunello and a 2004 barolo. only down side with the restaurant is that it can get quite noisy and the artworks boring.

this place serves fresh pasta. it feels like homemade pasta to me. my favorite dish is their carbonara with bacon. the taste is not like authentic italian but it is tasty. the atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely. the staffs are friendly too.

the decor of this place is so lovely, warm and inviting! lots of wood, fire and candles. it's a very aesthetically pleasing restaurant, albeit it a bit dark- but thats just my own preferences.

came in as a group last night for a birthday dinner. we had 4 different large pizzas. we had 2 number 20s, 5, 1, and 19.

number 20 is always a safe option, cranberry and chicken is a good convo, just didnt much care for the sploches of cream cheese which was very concentrated in one area rather than spread around. number 1 was the hawaiian, fool proof choice, i didnt try it but i'm sure it was more than adequate. the best pizza was the 5 definitely! not for someone who cant handle spice. it was perfectly good heat for us with chili flakes and jalapeneos, and was something i'd never tried before somewhere else.

in general the pizzas are on the smaller side, especially for the price. we paid $27.50 for a large size and they still looked quite regular, slightly bigger than a dominos or pizza hut pizza. they were served nicely though on wooden boards.

overall a nice place, with good attentive service. our water jugs were replaced very quickly. the service isn't overly nice, but they do their job well which is all i really expect. service time can be a bit slow, but my visit was during a packed saturday night, so was reasonable.

vintage and warm
atmosphere and interior, friendly staff and great pizza and pasta. went a couple of times with large groups, staff handled the group well. pizzas really filling, seems small in size but always surprisingly full. abit pricey end however good value for money , atmosphere and flavour make it all understandable. if i had to choose a favourite it would be a toss up between the ravioli and pumpkin penne. both super good !!!

pizzas were really nice, the bases were delicious would of liked a bit more topping. service was really good too. would definitely go again.

great food and service!

rating is purely for service as the food was excellent and timely.

everything went really well until the end of the evening, we were the last table in the restaurant and were advised (about 9.50pm on a saturday night) that they were wanting to close soon, most of us had only around half a glass left of our drinks although 2 friends had almost a full glass left so we continued on finishing our drinks and just after 10 the barman must have decided he was ready to go home as he came and cleared the glasses we were still drinking from. i think this is appalling service, i understand a last orders policy and i do appreciate wanting to get home after a long shift however we were a maximum of 10mins from finishing our drinks and to take away the drink someone had paid for before it's finished is terrible service and ruined an otherwise great dining experience.

would return with smaller group/couple for dinner but would go elsewhere if with a larger group wanting to have a meal and a few drinks.

love the new building, the same great food and service, thanks!
