Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Having just arrived in Dunedin on a Sunday we were so lucky to find this gem of a restaurant within walking distance of our hotel. The room is fabulous the staff very friendly and the service faultless. The food was even better!! Can’t recommend it...highly enough. Bev Parker from EnglandMore

Tasty authentic Italian with a great vibe. Although the food was amazing, some of the waiters were not so engaging. One waiter in particular sat us down, and we waited 20mins until another waiter came and asked us for drinks. Service could definately be better.

Been told great things about this place only to be thoroughly disappointed. The food wasn't wow and the service was terrible. We waited almost and hour to get our mains and while waiting the server came up and offered us the dessert menu! While waiting...we tried to flag a waiter down so we could order more drinks with no luck. Best part of the night was listening to the singer.More

Great Italian food near the Octagon in Dunedin. Really appreciated that many of the dishes could be ordered in two different sizes. Staff was super friendly and attentive.

Had a lovely dinner out with my daughter and her friends (7 in total) from her Uni hall as they wrapped up their study year. Fast and friendly service, no empty plates testifies to the quality of the food. The bill was very reasonable considering...we also had desserts. Highly recommended.More

Etrusco has great food and great ambience, and this has been true since we started going there in the late 90s. They can do a family meal or a conference dinner for 120 people, and it's all wonderful. If you have to travel to Dunedin...(as we do), this is not to be missed.More

This restaurant is classy, elegant and reminiscent of some of the best Italian trattoria that we have had the pleasure of dining in, in Italy. From the welcoming, efficient and excellent oversight of the maitre d' mama Meegan to the hard working wait staff and...to the chefs who produced our delicious plates, everything was on point. Our shared antipasto was generous, fresh and consisted of a variety of flavourful elements including at least three different meat selections. Our pasta mains were perfectly al dente with sauces that complemented the seafood and meat elements beautifully. A sign of a great meal is being unable to resist a dessert.We both really enjoyed the chocolate cake with blueberries and hot chocolate sauce.We could have had seconds of this but were mindful that we had to climb a hill to get back to our hotel. It was great to be able to BYO but we were sorely tempted by the interesting looking cocktails being delivered to other tables.Dining in a beautiful heritage building with pleasant background live piano music and top quality food and wine was the highlight of our trip to Dunedin. We found this restaurant by chance but it is obviously very popular with Dunedin locals with a good mix of age groups.We thoroughly recommend Etrusco for a wonderful dining experience.More
