Wow, we arrived ready for a typical Freo eatery and were so happily surprised. Very underdressed😬😬.The wait staff were so perfectly professional and yet so friendly. Food is fantastic đŸ‘đŸ»đŸ’•. One very lovely attentive waiter overheard my daughter mention it was my birthday and when it came time for dessert even though we only ord one, the staff bought out a beautifully decorated birthday treat for me. We will definitely be going back.

Love Nunzio’s .... ambience, staff, service, wine list and menu cannot be faulted and having Nunzio himself greet, stop by your table for a chat and serving his diners is a very special touch .... can’t wait for our next dining experience.

Fantastic place. Food great, service excellent, atmosphere friendly and comfortable. This was our second visit and both times have been brilliant. Tip- try to book on a Saturday night when the male opera singers and the piano accordionist are playing, they are absolutely awesome but I don't think they're there every week so check when you make your booking.

Totally unexpected the venue, the choice of menu, wine choices with Chianti Classico and the food and service was really great. Congratulations Nunzio. The Duck Raviolj was perfecto. The Goat was cooked perfecto! The Service by Lisa was perfecto ! Can’t wait to return again and try all menu items. Grazie e Salute !

Yum! Best Italian I’ve had in a long time. Venue is gorgeous, so warm and inviting. Staff were brilliant, very knowledgeable and friendly. Great wine list. The complementary home made bread and garlic butter was delicious. Squid Ink Fettuccini was absolutely perfect. Ample amount of seafood. When the staff found out it was my birthday they brought out a free cake and a lovely song. Will def return. Lovely night!

Amazing food, drink, service, atmosphere, staff - what more could you want for dining out! This place is the real deal - authentic Italian is truly the most delicious cuisine. And for those commenting on the price - I think it is a very fair price for the quality you receive. It costs money to hire decent professional chefs, to source the best produce etc. You get what you pay for! So glad my husband found this place for us - it is our new favourite. The only negative I have is that it’s half an hour’s drive away for us haha!!

Visited Nunzio's with my wife using the half price dimmi deal.
Food:
- complimentary warm bread and flavoured whipped butter were quite tasty.
- pork belly appetizer could have used a few more minutes on the heat. Wouldn't order again.
- wife ordered the squid ink fettuccine with prawn, fish, and chilli ragu. Delicious prawn and fish, perfectly cooked pasta. Light on the chilli. Expected more sauce in a "ragu". Overall enjoyable.
- I ordered mains size 4 cheese gnocchi. Delicious fluffy clouds of gnocchi in a tasty cheese sauce.
- bailey's dome: wife enjoyed it. I thought the chocolate dome was neat but could have been more flavorful. Baileys overrides any of the other subtler flavors that may have been there.
- bunet flan: nice chocolate flan with crunchy biscuit crumb on top. My preference over the dome.
- ended the night with 2 tasty espressos.

Staff were friendly, prompt, and attentive. We were made to feel very welcome.

Cosy "nonnas house" atmosphere sectioned off into a few rooms. Interesting art pieces decorating the walls.

Beautiful date venue, well lit with amazing service and split into smaller rooms so that it feels very intimate. The saffron and truffle fettuccine was a standout dish with amazing balance, very generous on the truffle and not heavy for a pasta.

Dined at classy Nunzio's lastnight with the Dimmi special. The food was delicious and service from the waitress outstanding but not enough to go back and pay full price. We were greeted by a grumpy Nunzio on arrival which was disappointing, and he was the same when we left unfortunately! Wine started at $12/glass. We shared a Malborough Sav Blanc for $48. Beef Carpaccio for entree was lovely ($20) as was the Squid Ink Fettucine ($35) which was surprisingly filling served with some lovely seafood and a delicious sauce. The Lamb Ragu Spaghetti ($30) tasted great too but was made with mince. Nunzios is an old house filled with lots of artwork, old fireplaces and lots of rooms that were filled to capacity but we felt it was quite noisy for an intimate restaurant. Our table was also placed right in the middle and very close to other diners. Fresh bread rolls & garlic butter on arrival were great.

What a great place!! The food is simply delicious, Lisa, our hostess, was friendly and attentive and even Nunzio himself poured our wine for us. It was such a wonderful evening for myself, hubby and 2 friends. But what topped it off was a visiting musical group that serenaded us with beautiful Italian music. A SUPERB night!!!!!

Been here for the night out with my fam. The first impression is the warm welcome. The vibe is so warm and nice. At the starter, we have been served a bread and signature butter which was so yummy(and free). At the main course, we never regret ... we ordered spaghettie, squid ink pasta and chicken. The food is so yummy, the service is also good and nice. Highly recommend.

I'm beginning to think Zomato is rigged!!!! I can't believe this place is only rated 3 stars yet just about all the reviews are 4 star plus......
Anyways, fantastic is a word that comes to mind as does Bellissimo and brilliant. Our small party of 4 was looked after with precision, the wait staff relaxed yet on point. The front of house was full yet the food came out in such a way the Australian synchronised swim team would have been proud. Flavour wise, all plates went back clean. Having been a chef for a time longer than I can remember this place ticks all the boxes of fine Italian dining at a casual setting. Bravo Nunzio's..... we will be back for sure

In a week i have visited this place twice. Both the times the service by the wait staffs and flavour of food were amazing. I had ordered the saffron fettuccine, pasta with salmon and prawn ragu, lamb shank and fish wing. My most favourite was the saffron fettuccine. Desserts: Limoncello sponge cake was amazing. Cocktails were well balanced
Overall experience: will definitely be making me their regular.

Wow! Great food, great service and just a prefect night of being spoilt. Absolutely love the vibe and the timing of all your food comes out perfectly. Enough time to digest your entree and enough time for the dessert. The desert was on display which made a huge difference and it made it easier to make up your mind on what you wanted. The coffee was delicious! I would 100% recommend.

We visited Nunzio's recently on the recommendations of friends who gave it two thumbs up, and it certainly fit the bill. The food, the wine the service were all amazing. Having gone with both a seafood starter and mains, that didn't stop us eyeing off the other diners food as it was brought to their tables. Lisa and Nunzio himself who looked after us, couldn't have been more attentive or knowledgeable and went towards making it a very memorable evening. We would have no problems recommending Nunzio's to anyone for some fantastic Italian food if they are anywhere near Fremantle.

Had the most incredible seafood feast at Nunzio's last night. Oysters two ways, marinated octopus, scallops, prawns, cuttlefish, clams, whole baked gold Band snapper, matched Italian wines - the whole experience was spectacular. Fresh seafood, incredible flavours and outstanding hospitality by host Nunzio and his attentive and considerate staff. Took out of state visitors with us who really enjoyed the magnificent food and experience and are already talking about flying back to WA for a significant celebration early next year. All round fantastic dining experience. Thoroughly recommended.

Amazing fine dining experience!!
Fresh hand made pasta was to die for.
Our waitress was wonderful and professional
Service was slow at time because they were a bit understaffed.
A couple of small things were forgotten- eg milk with tea and side of cream.
But all in all a fantastic experience and I will definitely go back again for a special occasion

Interesting dishes, great flavours and exceptionally friendly and efficient staff. It was a last minute decision to dine there on a Saturday night when they were full but they managed to fit us in anyway. We dine out a lot and were looking forward to eating at some of Fremantle’s best restaurants and we were not disappointed. Don’t expect a cheap meal, this is a very well thought out menu with “real” wait staff and this makes it well worth the price paid.

There are some exceptional Italian Restaurants in Fremantle, but you have to be in the know. Nunizo’s has had not been around that long, and tucked away on Essex Street is off the beaten track, but not out of reach. What deceptively looks like a small quaint cottage is in fact filled with several intimate dining rooms all with crisp whites heralding fine Italian dinning. It is a beautiful space, and there is the option, to sit outside under the verandah, but with today being a little wet and chilly, the front cozy dining room looked inviting.

My friendly Italian waitress gave me the menu and sorted out the water. I decided to go with scallops, puff pastry shell, zucchini and saffron sauce for entrĂ©e and for mains the pumpkin gnocchi with four cheeses sauce. I had an Italian Pinot Grigio with the first course, and staying in Italy, a Sangiovese with the gnocchi. Before the entrĂ©e, I received complimentary bread with a wonderful flavoured butter; I felt like just consuming the butter, but that wouldn’t have been a good look! Then came the entrĂ©e along with the wine, and the dish was beautifully presented with liquid gold. I could smell the sea immediately when the dish was placed in front of me, and the taste was sensational. All the flavours were well balanced requiring no additional seasoning. Perfecto!

My main too was beautiful. And the gnocchi, they were excellent. Melt in your mouth, as good as I had them in Torino. The sauce was amazing with excellent strong cheese flavours. Hearty and perfect for a wintery day. The wine, both which suggested by the waitress, was a good accompaniment with this dish.

I had room for dessert as I went with the entrée size gnocchi, and I have not seen this in as long as I remember, but the dessert selection was wheeled out on a trolley. All options looked good, but I decided to go with something different, and went with the fruit tart suggested by the waitress as being her favourite. It was bliss with nice berries and custard, and a very light sponge like, but well flavoured, crust. Bellissimo; t was so good I took a slice home for later! Some house made limencello was a perfect finish to an excellent meal.

Nunizio’s gave me excellent and friendly service, wonderful food and wine, and brought me back to Italy without the cost of a flight! Grazie mille! Highly recommend.

Italian dining in Fremantle. How Fremantle is not nicknamed Little Italy I’m not sure, but the “Cappuccino Strip” on South Terrace is testament to how closely this area is related to Italian dining and culture. At times it has been more cheap and cheerful, than anything else, but across Australia diners tastes and preferences have been changing over the years, and this extends here. Think places like Little Creatures that took up the challenge and won by incorporating their ideas in a manner consistent with the breezy Freo culture. Bread In Common is another good example of the growth and I’m told The Mantle complex is another good addition.

I had the scallops for entree with the squid ink linguine for main. The food is always good and just the right amount. My main was not ordered so came late, an honest mistake for anyone. The manager on duty however was incredibly horrible to the staff member who didn't put my order through. I thought this behaviour was not appropriate especially in front of customers. Overall a very nice restaurant and very nice food.

Beautiful Italian cuisine. We came in around 2pm on a Tuesday - quick service, very attentive waitstaff but not overbearing. We enjoyed an entree, mains and a few glasses of wine. We have just come back from being in Europe (Italy included) and can say that the food is on par with what we've experienced. If you are after a true Italian experience (homely, warm yet white table service included) definitely stop by and find out for yourself. A must stop for Fremantle.

Brilliant. Friendly faces everywhere, attentive staff and a welcoming owner.

Food was delicious. Simple, Italian flavours that transport you as soon as they hit the palate. Wine list is varied and suited to the venue.

Highlights were the Veal, and the Lime Sorbet with Prosecco.

We stumbled across Nunzio's whilst strolling down the streets of Fremantle, drawn in by the inviting ambience of the restaurant. The menu was helpfully out the front to further entice. We were warmly welcomed by all the wait staff (especially Damien) who could not have been more helpful if they tried. From the homemade bread and butter, stuffed calamari, eggplant stack, chicken involtino and beef fillet to the delicious dessert trolley, we were delighted by the quality and freshness of all. Accompanied by a delicious Italian sparkling rose recommended by Nunzio we couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. We would not hesitate to return or recommend it to all our friends. Nunzio and all his staff are to be applauded. Thanks for a memorable evening.

We arrived at Nunzio's full of expectation. The setting is an old Fremantle house, repainted and with a carpet that deadens sound. My husband chose fillet steak and I chose snapper. We then settled in to chat about our different days. Chris enjoyed  good red while I chose Prosecco. Our table was elegantly and appropriately set and before long, beautiful, fresh rolls were brought to us. Our food arrived and it was excellent. Faultless! In time, we decided to indulge in desserts-- excellent again. The waitstaff provided the sort of service that we have come to expect  from any restaurant under Nunzio's command. The ambiance of the whole establishment was part of the whole experience of dining at Nunzio's. Four stars from me!! Anne Wortham.

Buonissimo.. Nunzio Gumina, who introduced Fremantle to al fresco coffee with Papa Luigi's, has stormed back to introduce us to Nunzio's Restaurant. Four of us dined out at this new Italian and were blown away with the well constructed menu from pasta to deserts. My Stuffed Calamari entre to the Seafood Risotto was faultless. Tender and full of flavour. My wife's Eggplant Stack to the Cannelloni was amazing. Our friends were equally impressed with their choices which included the Gnocchi, always a good tester for Italian fare, to the Lamb Shanks. The sweets trolly was given a good going over as well. Fremantle has been screeming for an authentic high end Italian restaurant, and Nunzio has deliverd at a very good price. We were told that the menu will change according to the produce available which gives the opportunity to exercise the chefs' creative mind.

Fantastic lunch; we'll be back!. My colleagues and I just had a business meeting over lunch at Nunzio's new restaurant in Essex Street, Fremantle. All four of us work in the hospitality/wine industry and get the opportunity to eat out often. It was unanimously agreed that this lunch was superb in regards to atmosphere, food, wine & service. We highly recommend Nunzio's as a wonderful place to dine, with a menu that showcases simple Italian food done extremely well. Nunzio himself is a charming and warm host. The picture below is of the prawn risotto.
We'll be back for sure.

Delicious!. We went to Nunzios on Sunday night after walking by and spotting a new place. We are glad we did! It wasn't officially open yet so it wasn't a full menu but what there was on there was well priced and lots of variety. We had the tagliateli with porcini mushrooms and Sun dried tomatoes which was delicious! Tasted really fresh and home made. My partner had the lamb Ragu pasta which again he said was lovely. Our only suggestion would be to serve the bread warm at the beginning of the meal!
We will definitely be back when its fully open with a full menu!

Fabulous service and decent meals! I’m not a fan of olive, but these green one was alright, not very salty at all. Nice bread with olive oil vinegar dressing, for me I’d like to put some chili to increase a bit kick! Yeah I smashed all of it! The cuttlefish was perfectly cooked with nice and simple seasoning, the creamy ravioli was delicious, and it wasn’t too heavy or greasy. The other dish is mushroom risotto, really rich flavor and great seasoning. Also staff are all pretty approachable and friendly!

I took my wife here for a New Year’s Eve dinner as we hadn’t been before. This place didn’t disappoint. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the owner. A charismatic man who was a great host. We had some Sicilian olives and bread to start along with a couple of drinks. Nunzio then offered a half bottle of Chianti Classico which was perfect as I was the only one drinking. The wine was great and went perfectly with my meal. We shared two pasta dishes, the beef Ragu and the duck ravioli. Wow that duck ravioli was incredible!! I then had the eye fillet which was cooked to perfection! Will definitely be back! Great service and a nice atmosphere and to top it off the food was great. It was the perfect way to see out the year!
