The Italian Gourmet Restaurant in Nuremberg
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.
