Alondo is an Italian restaurant on Stuart Street in central Dunedin, built for a slow evening. The menu is handmade pizzetta, fresh pasta and seasonal plates, with a wine list that leans to a few bottles chosen with care, and the restaurant describes itself as a place to share a few plates and stay a while.
The dishes named on the menu include burrata with fennel and orange jam, a canestrini alla vodka with nduja and basil, a parmesan and pear salad, and a 200g eye fillet with a choice of garlic butter, chimichurri or red wine jus. As at 2026, the eye fillet was $49 and the burrata $27. Gluten-free pizzetta bases are available for an extra $4 as at 2026, and the menu marks gluten-free, vegetarian and dairy-free dishes. The wine list includes a prosecco, a pinot blanc from France and a Waipara pinot noir. Our view is that Alondo is a good pick for a long dinner with friends in Dunedin's city centre.
