MINNECI - Italienisches Gourmetrestaurant Nürnberg (2024)

If you’re looking for the soul of Italy, you don't have to go to Florence, Rome or Messina. You will find it in the heart of Nuremberg's old town, at MINNECI. Our gourmet restaurant is recommended by the renowned MICHELIN Guide and ranks as one of the 20 best Italian restaurants in Germany according to "Der Feinschmecker" magazine.

Our recipe for satisfied guests: sophisticated Italian cuisine combined with warm hospitality and perfect service. We have been following this philosophy since Leonardo and Elisabeth Minneci opened the restaurant over 20 years ago, and we will continue to follow it under the new patron: In 2023, long-time restaurant manager Boris Jakir took over the MINNECI and is now working with us, his dedicated team, to ensure that the magic of the Belpaese remains alive in the hearts of our guests.

Our gourmet restaurant is the epitome of "alta cucina", fine Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. Every month, we you with the finest culinary delights the Mediterranean and Italy have to offer - as a fine dining menu, à la carte or as part of our business lunch.

We place particular emphasis on fresh and high-quality ingredients. Whether it’s pasta, fish or meat - all dishes are carefully prepared à la minute using fresh seasonal and regional products. This way we can give our guests what they came for: a perfect fine dining experience - and complete enjoyment at any time.

Summer Garden of Delights

The wine list at MINNECI is perfect for true wine lovers: More than 200 red and white wine positions from different vintages are stored in our cellars, starting with Supertuscans and famous sites in Alto Adige or Piedmont to fascinating autochthonous wines to innovative wineries in Marche or Sicily.

But that's not all: In addition to our high-class wine range, we also carry a large selection of exquisite aperitifs and digestifs. And for those who prefer to take it easy, our non-alcoholic alternatives are a perfect choice.

Fine dining requires passion and time. As we put a lot of effort into preparing your dishes, we rely on binding bookings. Nevertheless, you can cancel your reservation free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. If you cancel later or do not show up, we will charge a fee of 50,00 € per person.

We would like to point out that dogs are not allowed in our restaurant.
