Nunziatina Ristorante

The most delightful dinner that pleased all the senses. From start to finish, the meal was perfect. Nunziatina is a gorgeous restaurant with a fun style throughout the dining room. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Matteo was very knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. The duck liver ragu arancina was sumptuous and decadent. The braised rabbit fusilli was heavenly. The beef was so incredibly tender and delicate. We finished with the chocolate sphere which was to die for. Don’t forget the cocktails, which were delightfully refreshing and flavorful. We cannot wait to return to Nunziatina on our next trip to Taormina!

Fancy romantic restaurant with an amazing outdoor terrace with full views of Taormina. Very well decorated. The prices are steep ( 50-70eur) per person and the portions are on the smaller side. If you’re someone who eats and is looking for “Nonna’s food” this isn’t the place. The service wasn’t good- they wouldn’t leave the olive oil on the table and it’s only poured on your plate upon request. This was quite annoying. They kept being sarcastic with us and made us feel this wasn’t a place for us ( snobbish). The food was delicious but you need to choose wisely- the pasta with garlic and prawns tartare was absolutely amazing ( 30 eur). The risotto did not pass the test.

We are super satisfied with our choice! The food was very tasty, the service attentive, and the atmosphere cozy. I was pleasantly surprised that the team remembered our note about my birthday – they even brought a dessert with a candle, which was such a lovely gesture. All in all, a wonderful experience, and we would definitely come back when in Taormina again ❤️

Amazing experience at this beautiful restaurant. We were served by Deborah, Oussama and Mateo - very friendly and nice people with good energy. The food was delicious. You have to pick 2 courses per person so we ordered 2 starters, 1 pasta and 1 main course. They were all up to our expectations and more! The drinks were next level we had an espresso martini made with cinnamon whiskey, and their own made spritz. However, one thing to mention is that their prices are quite high considering the portion sizes or the drinks (30€ per drink). So if you’re looking for a high-end place with good vibes but willing to pay the price, this is the place to be.

I am very surprised by the negative reviews of Nunziatina. We had a wonderful experience here and couldn't recommend it more! We got two first courses and one main course to split and the size was perfect, especially paired with their great bread service. We had a unique experience because we noticed that they accidentally did not include our bottle of wine on the bill, so when we raised it to them we were ushered over to the bar for complimentary shots of limoncello and very expensive cinnamon whiskey. They were so appreciative of what we did and treated us so well the whole night. The location itself was also well positioned near downtown but in a nice, quiet area near the Four Seasons.

We had a wonderful experience! Amazing food, service and decor! The lobster with Sicilian curry was out of this world! I was so thrilled to meet Head Chef Dion and this was the absolute highlight of our holiday in Taormina - highly recommend!

If you’re looking for flavorless food, tiny portions, and a good dose of tourist-trap attitude — congratulations, you’ve found your spot! Nunziatina somehow manages to turn Italian cuisine into a masterclass in mediocrity. The dishes are so bland and uninspired, you’d think they were assembled by a robot on autopilot. Frozen ingredients? Almost certainly. Freshness and creativity? Not even on the menu. They graciously require you to order two dishes per person, because apparently one disappointing plate isn’t enough. Generosity clearly isn’t part of the concept — unless we’re talking about how generously they charge for such underwhelming food. The only thing they seem to have put any effort into is the cocktail. It was actually good. Shame the food couldn’t catch up. As for the service, don’t expect warmth or personality. Salt on the table? Nope. A welcoming atmosphere? Forget it. Just servers pushing you to order more — in English, of course — because why bother pretending this place is for locals? In short: Nunziatina is all style, zero substance. If your idea of a great night out is overpriced frozen food and being treated like a walking wallet, by all means, book a table.

Quite possibly the best dinner we had in our two weeks in Italy. Amazing food, service, and ambience. The entire experience stood out. Best lamb my wife ever had. Make a reservation!
