"This uber-cool and stylish restaurant is located within the Bulgari Resort Hotel, and diners are cossetted from the moment they step through the door by the charming Italian team. The sleek, design-led interior boasts an impressive cocktail bar, and the atmosphere is intimate and romantic. The terrace overlooking the marina is the place to be, weather permitting. Experienced Italian chef Giacomo Amicucci cooks assured, sophisticated modern Italian dishes with precision. Many of the top-quality ingredients are flown in from Italy; fish dishes are a highlight, as is the pasta. For the full experience, plump for the ‘Degustazione’ menu." - Michelin Inspector

Maybe I simply chose the wrong menu, but this experience did not feel worthy of two Michelin stars. We went for the seasonal truffle tasting menu, and overall it felt heavy, predictable and lacking in playfulness or creativity. The cheese fondue with truffles was especially overwhelming, more like a dense mass that just filled the stomach rather than something elegant or refined. After this dinner, I have honestly lost my excitement for truffles for a while. On the positive side, the service was wonderful. The whole team was Italian, warm and professional, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was truly pleasant. Next time, I would probably choose a more diverse menu instead of a truffle focused one. In the end, we agreed that the best part of the meal was actually the bread.

The atmosphere felt serene and elegant, almost like stepping into another world. Each dish was so pure and intentional that every bite felt meaningful, not just delicious. The staff made me feel truly cared for, and there was a quiet beauty in the way everything flowed – from the service to the flavors to the view of the marina. I left feeling not just full, but deeply grateful and inspired. It was more than a dinner – it felt like a moment of presence, beauty, and joy that stayed with me.

To be honest, I’m unsure how this place has earned two Michelin stars. The experience was fine, but nothing exceptional. • The wine was outstanding – 10/10 • The cheese plate felt average – 6/10 • The bite board lacked depth – 6/10 Second Visit: • Tiramisu – 6/10 • Tea – 7/10 • Serving – Not Michelin standards

My husband and I like exploring Michelin-star restaurants, and Niko Romito remains one of our top choices. The dishes are refined, perfectly balanced, and beautifully presented. My Italian husband appreciated every dish we tried here. Service is excellent as well: professional, attentive, polite, and welcoming staff. We’ve been a few times here already and we will definitely come back again.

The restaurant has great ambience, The food is well presented and looks high-end, but unfortunately, the taste didn’t meet my expectations. I tried several dishes to give it a fair chance, but none of them really impressed me. if taste is your priority, it might not be the best choice but if you're looking for a place to chill or drink wine then it's a good idea.

Absolutely amazing experience at Il Ristorante Niko Romito! Everything about this place was exceptional — from the elegant setting to the incredible food. Each dish was perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and full of authentic flavor. A special thank you to Emanuele, our waitress, who made the evening even more special! He was so kind, attentive, and professional — always there at the right moment, with a smile and great recommendations. His warmth and care really elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended!
