Review Aosta - Arrowtown

My partner and I had a beautiful nine course dinner known as ‘A Taste of Winter’ with wine pairings. The best food we have ever had. The entire experience was magical. Ben Bayly has done it again!

Book in to experience asap! Service, chefs, food quality and ambience all get gold stars ⭐️ will be back again before we leave 🤤 we ordered tortelloni and lamb - house baked fresh focaccia with local olive oil is also a must. Also the tiramisu specially prepared at your table is 😙🤌🏽 thanks for introducing us to the Amaro shots 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

We had the pleasure of dining at Aosta. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. It's clear that they take great pride in their work, and it shows in the quality of their food and service. We started off with some delicious starters that set the tone for the rest of the meal. The angus steak and lamb dishes were cooked to perfection and were bursting with flavor. Don’t forget to finish off the night with the must try tiramisu dessert - it was out of this world! If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience in Arrowtown, we highly recommend Aosta Restaurant. You won't be disappointed!

I’ve arrived to Aoasta at 9:30 PM after quickly scanning on google what was opened at that time. I was Welcomed very warmly by the staff. They were great at walking through the menu and made recommendation: I’ve Ordered: - South land swede - beautiful with some Gorgonzola and salad (swede is a kind of turnip) - Tagliatelle with mushroom - And the best for the end… their own recipe of tiramisu that they prepared in front of me! They recommended great NZ wines. Made me taste two options. And I’ve picked one of the two. Open kitchen and great atmosphere. Strongly recommend if you come by :-)

The BEST restaurant we had in NZ because of this one dish. We were in NZ for a month, travelled both north and south, ate at different price points but till date I can remember vividly how tasteful the Kina Pappardelle was! It was so good that we had another portion ever after a full meal. Never knew a good plate of pasta could bring me so much joy.

Wow, the food was just amazing. We booked a 8:30pm dinner and went for their tasting menu. To be honest I did not have much expectation especially after many days early morning start for skiing, we were all ready tired and it took a while for the staff to turn the tables around for us so by the time we ordered it was around 9pm. As soon as the food came on the table we were all pleasantly surprised, everything was great, it really was. This is the only place that we’ll definitely come back again and again!

A lovely ambiance, professional and friendly service, extraordinary food, and a good wine certainly make it a standout dining destination.

It is an amazing restaurant with an inviting ambiance. The staff all seem to be a family, all servers were so well versed with the menu!! 5 stars to the team... The food was good, the last course of meat was not for me. It is an expensive place. Could have done with a slightly larger serving of dessert!!

The chef's plate was a amazing experience, it was a great way to sample a lot of things on the menu. All the dishes were exquisite and presented beautifully, the wet aged sirloin and the kumara ravioli truly stood out. Special meal to round out a memorable holiday.

Came here with our 8m baby and wow the hospitality was impeccable! The staff were so helpful and catered to our every needs - dietary (dairy free), special requests for baby, and did it all with a smile. The food was delicious although some dishes were on the salty side. We got the degustation “feed me” menu and it was really great value! Our favourite was the tomato dish, which funnily enough we wouldn’t have picked ourselves if we had chosen our own menu for the evening. The tiramisu dessert was assembled right in front of us at the table! What a show! Loved it and will be recommending to our friends!
