Trattoria Nonna Maria

Eccellente! No more words needed...

Very nice restaurant, colourful with fantastic service and family atmosphere... food absolutely delicious

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch here on Dec 8, 2012, after it was recommended to us by the couple who run Anticha Polonia (a shop full of beautiful Polish crafts) several blocks away. The restaurant has two large dining spaces, each of them beautiful. The food was absolutely delicious; my wife and I will remember the orecchiette and calamari forever. (I cook fresh calamari at home, but theirs is even fresher.) The wife and husband (son of nonna Maria) who run it could not have been more welcoming. We will plan to dine at Nonna Maria whenever we have reason to spend time in Termoli (which is 30 minutes from our home in Bonefro).

Went to dinner and had such a terrible experience I had to eat somewhere else. Our ordering was rushed and unwelcoming due to our multiple rambunctious servers. After ordering everyone got their meals at random times including myself who recived my dish over an hour later. When it did arrive the dish was not cook and was no where near al dente. We payed for everyones dish who ate after getting yelled at by a server. Then went to eat at a chips place down the road.

Lovely restaurant, the staff very kind and welcoming. Amazing tagliolini allo scoglio, and fritto misto was delicious! The wine suggestion perfectly complemented the dishes. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

Today me and my boyfriend had dinner at Nonna Maria. The food was nice. Unfortunately this does not apply to the service provided. I have never experienced such bad service before in my life. I will explain to you why. - the general tone of all (also English speaking) waitresses was very unfriendly. They were very short in their answers and made us feel very unwelcome. I know that it is the busiest time of the year, but this does not allow you to treat guests like they are a nuisance; - On top of that we were treated differently than the Italian guests. Who were treated with a smile and got sides like bread, while we had to ask for it; - We received Italian menus even though the lady knew we did not speak Italian and there were English menus available. We were again approached by a non English speaker for the order, even though there were English speaking waitresses. And this person mixed up the order; - Furthermore there was a dirty glass on the table. This can happen, not a problem. But it was not removed until end of dinner when I put it on the plate; - My order was mixed up. This resulted in the fact that I only got my main course when my boyfriend had already finished his dinner; My boyfriend did not want to post a review online. He rather provided the feedback in the kitchen to the waitress. She acknowledged the feedback, but said the following: - it’s a very busy time for the restaurant. She mentioned he should return in January when it’s less crowded; - it’s a trattoria not a restaurant, so he should not have too high expectations. I am sorry but this is exactly why I am posting this review online. This does not excuse you to be nice to your guests, make them feel at home and treat them equally. I hope you will take this feedback to heart and use it to further improve your business.

We ended up eating at the restaurant twice for a lunch and a dinner as we enjoyed it so much. The fish soup which is a specialty of the region was amazing with an abundance of different type of fish and seafood. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with two different styles on either side and the hosts and waitress's were extremely welcoming despite our poor Italian! We were traveling around Southern Italy and the dishes we tried here we some of the best we ate, the small starters with the Octopus cooked with onion was something i will be dreaming of in years to come!

Great fish restaurant in the center of Termoli. Dishes are delicious, we came here 3 times while our stay and were always satisfied! Besides the main menu offer, we also tried a mix of “carpaccio” made of tuna and salmon, with fresh scampi and shrimps. For our last night we ordered crayfish (aragosta), served with fettuccine in tomatoe sauce. Prices are fair, considering it’s fresh fish. I can highly recommend a dinner here!
