We had an exceptional dining experience at Nui, Atlantis Bay this past June. The team at Nui; Inez, Salvatore and Teresa made our night with their hospitality, attentive service and wonderful dinner and wine recommendations. They also went out of their way in helping us celebrate our anniversary in a very special way making it an evening we will long remember! Thank you! Thank you!

I found this restaurant by mistake. What an amazing view and atmosphere. Definitely worth it for a romantic evening. I was with both my kids that we were sort of loud and I came straight from the beach. Staff were very friendly and did not say anything about the dress code. Food was very tasty and creative.

“Dreamy restaurant by the beach in Taormina, set inside a 5-star hotel. The white piano by the pool and soft live music made the evening unforgettable. Wonderful food, attentive service, and the perfect romantic atmosphere.”

This was exceptional dining experience at Nui. From the moment you step in, the welcome and the dining experience that follows is attentive and beautifully curated. The cocktails were excellent and wine was lovely, even if rather pricey for local Sicilian wine, but seems to be the case across the island. Every dish was well cooked and beautifully presented, and tasted just as well as it looked. It wasn’t so busy when I was there but the ambience and was calm and beautiful, with the restaurant overlooking the bay. It was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to others visiting Taormina, even if a little pricy.

Nui Restaurant, overlooking the Baia delle Sirene, Ristorante Nui, run by Sicilian chef Tino Privitera, offers a modern vision of traditional Sicilian cooking. The service was professional and friendly. The food was properly prepared. The fish was fresh. The desserts were outstanding.

Excellent food in a super charming and beautiful setting. We had dinner under the stars to celebrate my husband’s birthday and the ambiance was just perfect. We had live music on a Wednesday night that made the whole experience magnificent and memorable. Nui is definitely worth it! Thank you Stefano, Salvo, Glusy, and Giuseppe for making our evening special!

The place is beautiful on the water and built into a small inlet. The food is excellent especially when it comes to fish. Mid meal, like others have said, the service disappears when you need more water or wine. Its in the Atlantis hotel. Yes the meals are expensive but you are going to the more expensive areas of Sicily. The food is prepared very well and is very fresh.

Upscale classy restaurant in a beautiful setting viewing Isola Verde cove. Extensive menu with elegant dishes, well presented. A bit tricky to get to through a lobby, steps, elevator, more steps, past the pool. The tables are generously spaced on a large terrace, very private and intimate.
