Shellfish spaghetti at Etrusco at the Savoy in Dunedin.

Etrusco at the Savoy is a family-owned pizzeria and spaghetteria set upstairs in Dunedin's historic Savoy Building. The Gianone family has built the restaurant around Tuscan food and warm evening hospitality, with the next generation now sharing in the business. Service runs seven nights a week, giving the ornate heritage setting a dependable neighbourhood rhythm as well as a sense of occasion. The room suits a leisurely dinner, but the broad pizza and pasta menu also makes it approachable for families and groups who want familiar Italian formats with plenty of choice.

Pasta is organised around distinct sauces rather than one repeated formula. Porcini mushrooms enrich a creamy penne, while bolognese-style sugo di carne keeps to a direct meat-and-tomato profile. Cervo combines wild venison, porcini, tomato and Montepulciano wine; Nonno folds pancetta, vodka, cream and chilli through penne. Seafood marinara, puttanesca and a vegan Tuscan tomato sauce provide contrasting directions, and pumpkin-and-basil ravioli arrives with sage, white wine and parmesan. A mixed pasta selection lets a table compare several of these approaches together.

Pizza covers an equally wide range. Four cheeses make Formaggi deliberately rich, Vesuvio brings vegetables and chilli, and Leonardo layers zucchini, olives, tomato and oregano. Other combinations move through sausage and artichoke, seafood with garlic, prosciutto with marinated artichokes, or a simpler prosciutto, tomato and rocket finish. Before those larger plates, Tuscan flatbread with rosemary, garlic-rubbed fettunta, minestrone and an antipasto of cured meats, olives and artichokes establish the restaurant's emphasis on bread, olive oil and shared beginnings.

The restaurant is fully licensed and also offers BYO, with an extensive cellar designed to complement the Tuscan menu. Tiramisu and gelato provide a recognisably Italian ending after the richer pasta and pizza choices. Gluten-free pasta and pizza bases are available, alongside vegetarian, vegan and dairy-free dishes, although the kitchen clearly advises that gluten is present and cross-contact cannot be ruled out. That candid guidance, together with smaller and larger serving formats, helps diners shape a meal to their needs without losing the generous, family-style character of the restaurant.
