What a fantastic go to place for freshly cooked, top quality Italian food. Everything - from the pastas, pizzas and desserts is cooked with distinct, exotic flavours and a delight to enjoy. The new management is fantastic at welcoming customers and making them feel comfortable. The ambiance is also top notch. This is a gem in browns Bay. We ended up coming back for more the day after too! Thank you for a great experience 😊
This casual pizza place ticks all the boxes for us. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Dantes' pizzas are second to none. We are always warmly welcomed and well looked after. I enjoy the pizza Caprioccia while my partner enjoys the Paninis: 5 menu combos to choose from. You can virtually take a walk through Venice while you are there which is captivating. Takapuna branch just as good.
Superb hosts and good conversation, gorgeous view by the ocean in Browns Bay. The food is also every time excellent.
Really good pizza and pasta but please get a plain kids cheese pizza or the menu.
Lvl 3 lockdown, no worries Dante's got my back. First time there, obviously getting it takeaway. Loved the pizza, the bases had all the wood fire taste. Stole some of my partners pasta, we end up halfing each main. Salad isn't usually my jam but the dressing was smooth and taste. Loved all the food. The team were great in person and over the phone. Looking forward to next time.
Sorry about the photo, we ate it and then liked it so much, the review was an after thought. :)
My partner and I ordered takeaway tonight (due to covid19). We were very happy with the service across the phone and the food was great. We ordered a pizza, pasta, arancini and a salad and all were up to expectation. Thanks for the lovely food we will be ordering again soon.

Great location on the waterfront. Indoor or outdoor. The BEST fried bread ever. The dough is left for a couple of days meaning the gluten does not affect those who are intolerant. One of the owners even played the violin with beautiful Italian music.
Best Italian in NZ, pizza is Devine it will take you straight to Italy, the pasta is the freshest We’ve ever had and bursts with flavor (amazing specials of the day) and we had a selection of starters which were all Devine, the calamari is to die for. Beautiful selection of Italian wines. A must try
Impromptu visit, never been before and was a little weary, however everything was absolutely perfect, well cooked and delicious! Will definitely come here again, pizza, pasta, beer, really good restaurant! 10 out of 10
Amazing food. Awesome atmosphere. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend. Worth trying. Price is for what you get of nice food and great service. Pizza dough is amazing and different from anywhere else

Came here for dinner last night with the family and we all left full & happy. The owner was in at the time and he was so friendly and made a lot of conversation. This is the biggest Dantes Pizzeria in Auckland. For drinks my brother and I got a fruity mocktail which was nice but mine had a bug in it but they apologised and got me a new one. To eat my parents got the caprese skewers to start with and they liked how fresh they were. Then we got the 'con proscuitto' pizza that we always get and it was amazing like always. My Dad got the 'diavola' pizza which he thought was a little spicy but he liked it. My brother and I shared the 'tagliatelle bolognese' and it was so good, the pasta was so nice and fresh and the bolognese sauce was super tasty. My Mum got the 'risotto porcini' and she liked it but wished the sauce was a little creamier. For dessert I got the tiramisu and it came slopped on the plate so presentation wasn't good but it still tasted really nice. My brother got a 'chocolate cake' which was the special of the day and it was really dry. Overall we had a really nice time and most of the food was really good and we all left full & satisfied. 100% recommend :))
The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
In our group of 8 we had a variety of food and drinks and when it was served it came straight to the right people. It was awesome.
The food was really good and filling. We got a mix of sides and pizzas and everything tasted amazing. I'm excited to come back to dry the nutella calzone when I have more room😍

The dish had very tangy sour flavors from the tomato. It's quite light, a great pasta dish that doesn't leave you feeling bloated. Reasonable dinner price for a pasta $20 and located in the beautiful Queens Rise
Great Dante’s pizza - traditional, thin and great ingredients. Nice outside area and overlooking the beach and park. what is there not to like!
We have not visited Dante's for over a year but are SO glad we decided to try it again. Decor is fresh and cosy and the food was delicious. We had the Cannelloni and a Pizza with a Tiramisu for desert. All exceeded expectations. Looking forward to trying more of the menu.
We had the Margherita pizza and the prosciutto and I would highly recommend both, the pizza base was perfect with a great flavour and texture. I will definitely be coming back here again.
The Calamari starter was ok but the pork belly and spaghetti dish was great. Nice atmosphere, service great with friendly staff. I'd go back there again!
First time here. As a confirmed lover of pizza and most things Italian I have to say that Dante's is a real delight.
Traditional wood fired pizza, simple, tasty, quality ingredients. Superb.
Management and staff were excellent, friendly service and knowledgeable regarding the food and wine. They clearly love what they do and it shows. Dante's has a great vibe to it and we will certainly be going again and again to try out the extensive menu.
A real fun night out, well done!

Dante’s is fantastic! We go there regularly & are never disappointed. The pizza is delicious, completely authentic, we can’t get enough of it! & the staff are amazing as well, so kind, attentive & friendly, always warm and inviting, which is why we will continue to come back to Dante’s Browns Bay xxx
Pizza is very good. There is a different menu on weekends where prices are higher. Have not seen the queue or many visitors to do prices higher. Up to $25 is reasonable price. In any case 5 starts for the best pizza in Auckland
Really impressed with Dantes Brown's Bay...we've loved their pizzas way back from their Huipai days and I was thrilled to see they were opening up more locations and one in Browns Bay! Rang up to place an order for pickup, within 15 minutes it was all ready to go...staff were all super friendly and lovely and the pizza was as amazing as I remember...tried the arancini balls too and they were delicious! Hoping to come back soon to dine in and try other things on the menu, looks amazing!!!
We ate dinner last night, the pasta was delicious, tasty and exactly Italian dishes. Dessert also very good. The chef Carmen sweet and gentle. We'll absolutely come back.
Thank you to all the staff for making my daughter's 15th birthday dinner a wonderful experience. So kind of you to have served the birthday cake we brought and we appreciate the special birthday serenade by your staff. Great pizza, wonderful staff and first class coustomer service.
We had a lovely night out at Dantes. Great food, seriously amazing pizza. Everything hand made from scratch. Best pizza I've had.
I fully fully recommend coming here for a wonderful dinning experience.
Absolutely enjoyed every mouthful ...the staff were so attentive and lovely!!
Best Italian for miles, but wait there's more: you must try the beef ribs! They are massive and absolutely beautiful. The first time I have seen hubby unable to finish. If you havent been before Dantes is also right on the beach with outside seating on sunny days overlooking Browns Bay beach. I great place to have a spumante or Peroni over lunch.
Real Italian pizza with sourdough base and yummy traditional toppings. Excellent service. It's great to have this place in Browns Bay. Highly recommended!
What lovely warm, personable service. Delicious pizza. Outdoor area looking at the beach and playground. Fantastic addition to our local restaurants. They deserve to be much busier than they are.
Best pizza in Auckland! The service from the lady working there was phenomenal. Highly recommend it for the service and food quality.
