An Authentic Italian Experience Facing the Caribbean
Between the serene Nichupté Lagoon in Cancún and the iconic Fifth Avenue in Playa del Carmen, Nicoletta has become the go-to Italian restaurant for those seeking a dining experience that blends tradition and elegance. Whether you arrive with the curious eyes of a tourist or the refined palate of a local, you’ll find much more than just a meal here — you’ll immerse yourself in authentic Italian flavors with a sophisticated signature touch.
From the very first aromas that greet you at the table to the last bite of dessert, Nicoletta delivers an experience that combines flawless technique, carefully selected ingredients, and an atmosphere that could easily be mistaken for a Tuscan dining room — only here, it’s paired with turquoise sea views and Caribbean energy.
Italian Gastronomy with Character
In a world where “Italian” is often loosely interpreted, Nicoletta stays true to authenticity. Our menu is a tribute to classic recipes reimagined with a contemporary touch, carefully crafted to match the standards of Italy’s most emblematic trattorias.
Fresh, handmade pasta prepared every morning, locally caught Caribbean fish, and perfectly cooked meats share the menu with a curated list of Italian wines and cocktails inspired by Mediterranean mixology. Every service reflects what an authentic Italian dinner restaurant should be — where quality is never optional.
The Dessert Menu: A Finale Worthy of the Experience
At Nicoletta, desserts are more than just an ending — they are the perfect epilogue to a memorable evening.
- Pistachio Panna Cotta — Delicate and smooth, elevated with fresh lemon zest and the crunch of caramelized almonds.
- 24K Tiramisù — Designed for sharing, featuring layers of cocoa sponge soaked in coffee, silky mascarpone cream, and a shimmering chocolate shell.
- Tarta Tenerina — A molten-centered chocolate cake paired with house-made pistachio ice cream, striking the perfect balance between intensity and finesse.
- Affogato — Vanilla ice cream meets freshly poured Nespresso® espresso for a bold, elegant finish.
- Pizza Fritta alla Nutella® & Crostata ai Frutti Rossi — Playful yet traditional desserts that celebrate the joy of authentic Italian pastry.
Cocktails & Wines: The Perfect Pairing
The Nicoletta experience extends far beyond the plate. Our beverage menu ranges from the perfectly balanced traditional Italian Negroni to exclusive creations blending premium spirits with fresh Mediterranean ingredients. The wine list, predominantly Italian, is designed to complement each moment — from a carpaccio appetizer to the last toast with lagoon or city views.
