A corner of Italy with a lagoon view
Anyone who visits Cancun knows it’s a paradise for the senses. But among all its treasures, there’s one place that transports you straight to Italy — no plane ticket required. Nicoletta, an elegant Italian restaurant with a lagoon view, blends authenticity and sophistication in a way that feels completely effortless.
Far from tourist clichés, Nicoletta has become a landmark for those seeking an Italian romantic dinner, an anniversary dinner, or simply a dining experience that captures the essence of Italy, elevated by the charm of the Mexican Caribbean.
Italian tradition, reimagined with elegance
Where technique meets soul
Italian cuisine has always been about heritage — recipes passed down through generations. At Nicoletta, that tradition is honored but elevated into an experience where technique, quality, and aesthetics come together with precision. Every dish tells a story, united by one philosophy: turning simplicity into art.
The Beef Tenderloin Tartare with Dijon mustard, truffle oil, and quail egg achieves the perfect balance between classic and refined. Meanwhile, the Burrata & Mortadella Bruschetta, topped with pesto and pistachio, redefines what most people think they know about traditional Italian cuisine.
A journey that begins with the first bite
Nicoletta’s menu celebrates the best of northern and southern Italy, bringing together freshness, balance, and depth.
The Bi Tonno Carpaccio, featuring white and red tuna with lemon vinaigrette and caviar, pays tribute to the delicacy of the sea. Meanwhile, the Casarecce Pesto, made with freshly blended basil and pecans, embodies the soul of handmade Italian pasta — aromatic, vibrant, and timeless.
Italian dining with a view of paradise
An ambiance that defines the experience
Few things compare to dinner at Nicoletta as the sun sets over the lagoon in Cancun. Natural light fades into a warm interior glow — marble, wood, and soft lighting combine to create the ideal setting for an anniversary dinner or an intimate celebration.
Every detail of the space contributes to the experience: the unhurried service, the perfectly curated music, and the thoughtful arrangement of each table. Together, they create a harmony that feels designed, but never forced.
More than a dinner — a statement of style
Nicoletta doesn’t seek attention; it earns admiration. It’s a restaurant that understands true luxury lies in understatement — in the quiet confidence of excellent wine, refined service, and an ambiance where everything feels naturally aligned.
Pasta, pizza, and risotto — Italy’s legacy on every table
Pasta, the heart of the experience
At Nicoletta, pasta isn’t just made — it’s honored. From the Frutti di Mare Fettuccine with calamari, shrimp, and mussels in pomodoro sauce with white wine, to the Shrimp Capellini with roasted peppers and fresh basil, each dish is a journey through Italy’s culinary regions.
The Shrimp Risotto, infused with saffron and topped with edamame, shows how a classic can be reinvented through technique and precision.
Pizza, elevated to art
The menu also embraces Italy’s most iconic creation — pizza. The Prosciutto Pizza, with mozzarella, Grana Padano, and basil, proves that perfection doesn’t require excess. For something more daring, the Scampi & Lobster Pizza combines the freshness of the sea with the irresistible texture of an artisanal, wood-fired crust.
Desserts worth remembering
The perfect ending to an unforgettable evening
At Nicoletta, dessert isn’t an afterthought — it’s the final act of the experience.
The Pistachio Panna Cotta, with meringue, white chocolate shavings, and a hint of lemon zest, offers a perfect harmony of texture and aroma. Meanwhile, the Crostata ai Frutti Rossi, filled with ricotta and red fruit compote, celebrates the subtle sweetness of traditional Italian desserts.
For those craving something more indulgent, the Pizza Fritta alla Nutella®, with its crisp texture and toasted hazelnuts, is pure temptation.
