Public Italian Kitchen on Steamer Wharf: handmade pasta and modern Italian classics, with indoor and outdoor seating over Queenstown Bay.
Public trades now as Public Italian Kitchen, on the ground floor of Steamer Wharf with the water a few metres away.
The cooking has moved to Italian: handmade pasta and modern Italian classics built on regional ingredients, still in the relaxed, pass-it-around style the place has always been run on.
The bar is worth arriving early for — an aperitivo before you sit down, Central Otago wine, and the view across Queenstown Bay to the Remarkables. Seating runs indoors and out.
It opens at midday and runs into the evening, seven days.
