Da Nunzio Caffe Bar Ristorante

Very poor (less than one star).
Booked a table on the Saturday for the Sunday morning at 9: 30am after being told the place opened at 9: 30am. Reworked our morning for 9: 30am only to find on arrival it had in fact opened at 9: 00am. Allocated a table and coffees arrived. Then for some unexplained reason the table had to be moved about 15cm after it had already been set, had coffees water, etc. (who knows why the position on Saturday night was now unworkable on Sunday morning).
Then someone else's food arrived and after a prolonged conversation, the wait staff realised it was indeed for a different table.
Finally our food arrived. My wife asked for no toast so her "hot" food was cold because it had been plated up onto a cold plate. I had the same thing but with toast which seemed to insulate the food from the plate. Both of use thought the bacon was bland / lacking taste and "crispy" seemed to be a new term for "burnt".
Anyway we wont be back.

Service was extremely slow and had to request beverage/wine menu. I will say it was busy but my husband and I have been there before when busy but the service wasn't as bad as it was this night.

Completely over priced set valentines day menu. The staff couldn't cope, had to ask after every course. The shared desert was advertised as a chocolate mousse in a chocolate basket
. It came in a glass jar and tasted like something I would buy from a supermarket. Not good

Ordered a grilled chicken dish, pizza and garlic bread.

Bread was very plain, almost no garlic.

Chicken was burned badly and had more oil than a high school change room.

Pizza was alright, certainly the star of the evening, if a little oily as well.

Our one and only previous experience with this restaurant is that it is was bland and overpriced but the reviews were great so we decided to give it another chance. Upon entering, we found out that they were not serving pizzas which was highly upsetting. Our table that we were seated at had small bugs scattered on it and the owner ‘discretely’ tried to brush them off when pouring our water. The portion sizes are atrocious. We paid 36 for small child’s palm size amount of steak that was rare when we requested medium and the mash potato was so salty! The pasta and the gnocchi that we ordered just barely covered the base of the plate. It was bland and soggy. By the end of our meal, we felt in no way fulfilled. It felt like we each ate an entree. We went to another restaurant after as we were still hungry. We are outraged that we spent 88 dollars on three kid sized meals that were highly disappointing to eat. We would definitely not recommend eating here - please don’t waste your money.

It's a wonderful Italian place with amazing food and service. The main guy is always friendly and great with the kids.

Wonderful restaurant! Second visit here and both occasions the food has been plentiful and tasty. Reasonably priced menu with a good variety of choices. Tonight the Gnocchi Ragu receives my tick of approval.

Picturesque location. Main courses are delicious, but a tired and inadequate sweets selection. Service was erratic but prices are reasonable. Only a single Italian White and Red on the wine list, however of good quality.

Da Nunzio is a local legend and great place for coffee, a drink or gelato. Food quality is great Italian with modern influences and good for family and friend gatherings or a romantic couples evening. Go enjoy this relaxed, casual and delicious place however you choose to be welcomed!

Excellent restaurant. Food & service is amazing & the prices are very reasonable. Will definitely be returning

Food is excellent, comfort food. Staff and owner are very friendly (occasionally too friendly with my shy 4 year old, lol).

Lovely little restaurant, food is always amazing, service is outstanding as well. If you live North side you should visit this place.

My first and best Italian restaurant experience. I knew it was going to be good, but it ended up being amazing. The owner was very friendly and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Anyone who has rated this as less than 5 stars is delusional.

Beautiful food, friendly service. Location is really lovely. Probably the best Italian food in Canberra.

Reasonable food, bit over priced for such small portions. Felt a little bit daunted/pressured to purchase desserts and alcohol by a man who appears to be the owner. Other than than friendly staff and nice view.

Good service, good range on the menu. Nothing wrong with the food. Just for the price, one expected something more tasty.

I used to go here all the time when I lived in the area. Good food and great deserts/ coffee and the owner is nice as well. I hope to go back one day.

Lovely place with the most welcoming service, they really treat you like family! Consistently impressed with the dishes, lamb shanks are a must

Absolutely exquisite pizza and great service. Nunzio is very friendly and always says hello to us.

The food was nice but the price did not match the quality. It’s a bit squishy and crowded here sometimes. Once went and it felt like they were relunctantly letting us have a table.
