About Lombardi’s Ristorante

Handmade pastas and pizzas anchor the 38-dish menu at this Italian spot on Trafalgar Street in central Nelson, where options range from classic Margherita and Salmone pizzas to Fettuccine Alfredo, seafood Fettuccine Scoglio, and rich carbonara. Starters and small plates lead into mains alongside seasonal specials, accompanied by a drinks list spanning Italian wines, cocktails, and craft beers. For dessert, traditional dolci include house tiramisu, Torta Di Formaggio, and affogato.

Set to a backdrop of Italian music with rustic decor, an active bar area, and both indoor and outdoor seating, the dining room accommodates casual lunches, coffee dates, and evening dinners for solo diners and groups alike. The premises provide step-free wheelchair access, nearby paid parking facilities, and offer takeaway, delivery, and dine-in service, with table bookings recommended ahead of busy dinner services.
