Hospitality of the heart: Enzo Bresolin on the art of service
with Enzo Bresolin
If you know Wellington’s dining scene, you’ll know the Bresolin name. But this story isn’t just about legacy - it’s about how Lorenzo Bresolin has taken that heritage of hospitality and shaped it into something uniquely his own. Growing up in the family that helped define Wellington’s restaurant culture, Enzo learned early what it meant to make people feel welcome - not just through food and service, but through genuine care and connection. Over the years, he’s carried that spirit with him, through each of his many incredible businesses and venues he's opened with brother Leonardo. Now, with his wife Misa, Enzo runs a beautiful wellness studio on Tory Street - a space that happens to overlook the old Il Casino site, where patriarch Remiro Bresolin once set the standard for hospitality in the city. It’s a poetic full circle, but also a clear expression of Enzo’s own vision: one where caring for others begins with caring for ourselves In this episode, we talk about the unique skills of a maitre d’, the essence of true hospitality, and how those same qualities - empathy, intuition, generosity - can transform the way we live, parent, and build community.
