Tapasitos restaurante y bar in Nürnberg

The ambiance is very nice, and the waiters were very helpful in navigating the menu. I ordered a full meal instead of small tapas plates. The food was very good. It came with a medium-dry wine. The wine was good. Otherwise, there were only dry wines. Unfortunately, there were no sweet wines at all. I would gladly come back to try more.

The quality was excellent. We were a group of six and had a bit of everything. The Patta Negra was especially fantastic.

Some tapas are better, some worse. Overall, though, it's perfectly fine. Unfortunately, the restaurant is very loud, making it difficult to have a conversation in the evening without shouting. The tables are also set so close together that it doesn't seem very inviting to me when others are sitting 30 cm away.

Typical tapas restaurant, good cocktails 👍 Service has improved a lot

I really enjoyed it. The tapas are a bit larger than usual, but also a bit more expensive. It's better to share between two people.

Our visit to Tapasitos was unfortunately very disappointing. Right from the start, we had to ask for our drinks several times; orders were mixed up, not delivered, or we were served things we hadn't ordered instead, even though the place didn't seem particularly busy. Questions about the gluten-free menu (due to celiac disease) or whether dishes contained raw egg (we had pregnant women in our party) were not understood. Instead of the gluten-free bread we ordered, we were initially brought a regular bread basket; only after persistently asking another waitress did we receive the correct version. Communication was generally difficult and seemed uncoordinated. Clearing the table also took an unusually long time. When it finally happened, the waiter (Mahmoud) threw several tapas bowls over me and my handbag, covered in sauce and vinegar. As a result, the floor in that spot remained uncleaned for an extended period and made a very unappetizing impression. Overall, there was a massive lack of communication and service quality. For me, it is unacceptable that no redress was offered for such an incident.

We went there for dinner on Saturday evening and the food was absolutely delicious; they've even started offering gluten-free bread baskets (Schär). However, the service was extremely poor and sometimes non-existent. Drinks sometimes only arrived after 1.5 hours and multiple reminders. The waiter in charge (who said he had been working there for 3 years) couldn't answer questions about the menu and mixed up the dishes. Plates and empty glasses were only cleared away after an hour, and the waiter tipped the entire tray of leftover food and plates over a friend, breaking the plates. He didn't apologize, and when we asked for a free drink, he didn't even clean up the mess on the floor. The remaining plates and glasses were simply left at our table. Only when another waiter saw that our table was full of dishes did she clear them away. We like eating there because they have a good selection of gluten-free tapas, but I hope the service will be better next time.

Food was OK and the red sangria was acceptable. The best part of this restaurant are the staff for their warm and friendly service plus the amassing vibe of the place.

Buzzing restaurant, top quality

We went for tapas as a group and were very pleased with the wide selection. There are some vegetarian and vegan tapas, and the drinks selection and happy hour(s) are also very good. The service was very friendly and attentive. The only downside was that we had to sit very close together to be heard, and some of us had sore throats the next day.

The food was good, but not excellent. We tried a bit from every tapas what is served. The cocktails were good! The service personal was friendly. Highly recommended for a touch of Spanish flair!

We ate there in the afternoon. The food was good, but rather expensive. Drinks arrived with the main course, and the sweet potato fries that came with the main course arrived after it had already been on the table for 10 minutes. The ambiance is quite nice.

What an amazing find, we didn’t book ( it was only two of us). We walked in to a wonderful buzzy atmosphere, it was packed with people having a great night. The food was delicious ( as were the cocktails), our waiter was chatty & helpful & really couldn’t have been more charming - highly recommended would definitely go back.

The food is good, but could be spicier. The beef fillet was superb. The white wine sauce with the salmon was, unfortunately, not my taste at all.

The place truly has a captivating Spanish atmosphere: thoughtful decor, background music, and a lively atmosphere that instantly makes you feel on vacation. The dishes are delicious and tasty, perhaps not particularly original, but overall they leave you satisfied. The prices are definitely affordable, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The only slightly less positive note concerns the service: due to the large crowd, the wait times were a bit longer. That said, the staff has always been friendly and helpful, so the overall impression remains positive. All in all, it's a place I recommend: ideal for a casual evening with friends, with good food, a cheerful atmosphere, and fair prices. Despite the extra few minutes of waiting, it's worth it!

We were there to dance, and the atmosphere was simply fantastic. It's lovingly decorated and you just feel at home. We'd love to go back.

Only one type of tapas was available. Service was too slow, especially when asking for the bill.

My favorite cocktail bar in Nuremberg. Especially nice to come during the hours when cocktails are 1/2 the price of the list price.

Very mediocre place. The waiter doesn't understand the menu. The ice crushing at the bar is very loud.

Fun and lively restaurant. We didn’t try any mains. The tapas were tasty, and they came out quick! Favorites were the pimentos and gambas. And I loved they had plenty of vegetarian/vegan options.

We ate there as a group of 4 colleagues. Noone paid attention to us if we wanted more drinks or food. Although the place was pretty empty. We left early therefore.

Wheat-free A preliminary email inquiry received a friendly response. There is a separate menu with gluten-free dishes; the dips are served in glass bowls. Gluten-free (separately packaged) Schär bread with dips has also been offered recently. However, the gluten-free bread isn't on the menu yet because it's so new. The gluten-free bread basket with aioli costs €3.00. Once we got there, however, we opted for "paella valenciana." For groups of two or more, the paella is freshly prepared. When ordering, I mentioned my allergy again and was informed that the paella I wanted was completely wheat-free. I didn't have any reaction, so I can recommend this dish accordingly. The waiters were very friendly and helpful.

Very authentic! I'll be back, and it's vegan-friendly.

Update 08/14/25: Unfortunately, I have to change my review. After not having been there for a while, about two years, I was shocked at how things had changed. Back then, you were given a baguette basket with aioli, but now you have to pay extra for it. The aioli is a joke; it has absolutely nothing to do with the original Spanish aioli. Is there even garlic in it? The tapas have been better. The only good thing was the octopus salad. The prices have gone up quite a bit, way too high. Despite higher procurement costs, other restaurants manage to raise their prices moderately. The service is okay so far. That was the last time we were there! A great place with very tasty tapas. Bread basket with very fresh baguette and aioli - I ate seven of them myself...oh dear :-) The tapas were very good, and the very nice trainee Jonas recommended fried anchovies to me - they were delicious. If I hadn't already been full from the baguette :-) I would have gotten another portion. My wife had the octopus salad (highly recommended) and the meatballs (also highly recommended). The drinks and food arrived very quickly, and the atmosphere was great—what more could you want? Kudos to the trainee, he's doing a great job.

Very cool place, great food, good drinks.

Unfriendly staff, they don't depend on people, only tourists come, locals don't go in there.

Kind service, great variety of tapas, the restaurant is with nice vibe and Spanish atmosphere. We tried 10 different dishes and they were very similar to original Spanish tapas. Fried olives were a highlight for us. Location is great and parking right around the corner.

The food is delicious and something different. The prices are reasonable, but the food could be fresher. The ambiance is very nice. Unfortunately, the service could be improved. The wrong drinks were brought, a meal was forgotten and then served later after a request, and the server was quite overwhelmed and inattentive. Nevertheless, I would give the restaurant another chance.

Good staff, not too expensive. It reminds a typical central Spain bar.

We happened to be in the area spontaneously for lunch...the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The tapas were really good, and we felt completely at home. We'll be back!

Good but not outstanding food, service is good and attentive. The ambiance is good, but quite loud.

We visited this place with friends for happy hour and ordered many tapas to share along with drinks for each person. Four bread baskets came with only two sauces, and when we asked for two more (so each basket would have its own sauce), the waiter insisted on charging extra —which felt extremely rude. The place was uncomfortably hot with no A/C, service was unfriendly, and the tapas were mediocre at best. We had planned to try the paella, but after this attitude, we decided not to.

Food was great and the service very friendly.

Honestly not great, the service and food were not up to scratch... Move on, it's quite expensive...

We were seated immediately on a Friday night. The service was friendly and the selection of tapas style entrees are spot on! Highly recommend the shrimp or chicken breast!

To start, the service was slow in taking orders and was generally slow. The atmosphere was fine, with Latin salsa music, the most "Spanish" thing we had. The food left something to be desired, lacking much flavor or new tastes, which are far from Spanish. I understand the prices are higher than in Spain, but the varied selection of meats was a shame for the price. The beer was at room temperature... (not cold, not fresh...). We couldn't enjoy it even a bit...

From a Spaniard: Food quality and quantity are low considering the high price. Service is slow and somewhat ungrateful. Owners/shift manager are aggressive.

Tastes like a supermarket product. JUICE SHOP!!!!!!!

According to the website, there were still plenty of slots available. I booked, and after organizing everything, they canceled. A table wasn't available until four hours later. Otherwise, it was completely full. It says you'll get another confirmation email, but it shouldn't be possible to book again if it doesn't work. This is very annoying because we organized special ramps for a wheelchair user. I'm keeping my mind open to updating the review if I eat there again. Apparently not today, though. Very annoying!

Authentic tapas experience in the heart of Nuremberg Tapasito is a true gem for lovers of Spanish cuisine! The restaurant offers a fantastic selection of authentic tapas – simply delicious and beautifully presented. You can tell the attention to detail is evident here. The atmosphere is cozy and lively – perfect for an evening with friends or a relaxed dinner for two. The service was attentive, warm, and prompt – you immediately feel welcome. An all-round successful evening with Mediterranean flair – we'll definitely be back!

Well I have to agree with my colleague, no taste and as a Spaniard I thought it only had a Spanish touch, at least the cold cuts were Spanish but €50.50 for 4 tapas pieces and then I have to go to Subway to be full, overly expensive, 6.5 chorizo with potatoes, you'd think it was at least grilled chorizo, no, 3 slices 4mm thick, so that anyone would go there at all, I gave a 9.50 tip but I'll never be back! So €50.50 for 4 small things and a Coke and then immediately going to Subway to eat a whole baguette to be full, really bad! For one person, a baguette costs €11, half a baguette costs €6.50, €50.50, still hungry 🤔 apart from the fact that it doesn't taste good, everyone who wrote otherwise has no taste and no idea, you're at a Spanish restaurant, it tastes like Indian 🤔

Beautiful restaurant but the food was not good. Not much flavor in the food and drink was water down

I've been visiting Tapasitos for years. It's centrally located in Nuremberg's city center. I find the quality and taste of the food there to be okay, but not outstanding. The prices are high and, in my opinion, overpriced for the portion sizes. Tapasitos is a place where you can meet with friends or larger groups in a cozy atmosphere. There's an indoor and outdoor area. The very loud noise of the mixer at the bar is annoying...

A very nice place to laugh, eat, and enjoy cocktails, whether alone or with friends. The food and cocktails were great. The waitresses should clean the tables for the next guests without being asked. The toilets didn't flush, and cleanliness should be checked regularly. Overall, still worth a visit.

Delicious and an authentic atmosphere.

We've never had such bad tapas. No flavor, no spices. Nothing that defines Spanish cuisine. We left more than half. We paid €90. Not recommended. The waiter was attentive and friendly. He didn't react with concern to our criticism; it probably wasn't the first time he'd heard it.

A tapas bar that exudes a touch of Spain. And with a Tinto di Verano, you'll quickly feel transported to the Iberian Peninsula.

The restaurant has a flair that reminds you of Barcelona or Madrid rather than Nuremberg. Tapas are unusual here, but certainly charming. And it was delicious, too, so 5 out of 5 points.

I waited over 60 minutes for the food after ordering.

Good tapas even late at night on Sundays.

Cocktails recommended Food, okay We had lukewarm tomato soup Paella for 2 people = vegetable rice mash garnished with squid and crab Far from a paella Like the chef, he's German and has probably never eaten a typical paella, otherwise he wouldn't have spaceships like this.

Always happy to go. Especially to satisfy a little hunger.

The food was delicious, but for me personally it was a bit overpriced considering the amount of food in each bowl.

We had dinner here on Saturday. Since it was a nice day, the tables outside were full, so we sat inside. It was a bit warm as there was no air conditioning. Our server was attentive and offered excellent service. It would be a great place to meet up with a group of friends.

My impression was fantastic, with a lasting flavor and diverging taste notes. If a culinary dream comes true, then this is it.

This restaurant was recommended to me because it has the most authentic flavors. I didn't eat everything, but I really enjoyed it, and we'll definitely be back. Maybe next time we're with eight people and we'll order Fiesta Fiesta, so we can really try everything 😍

I recently ate at Tapasitas – and it was an all-around fantastic experience! The food was truly delicious, with a lovely selection of authentic tapas, freshly prepared and lovingly presented. But the absolute highlight of the evening was the service. I would especially like to mention Ali, our waiter. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and warm – you immediately felt welcome. Ali made the evening perfect with his smile and charming manner. I will definitely be back – not just for the food, but especially for the fantastic service. Many thanks to the Tapasitas team and especially to Ali!

Everything is great but it's so salty, my blood pressure went up.

We sat outside yesterday and ordered four tapas. 1) Patatas Bravas 2) Beef strips with cream cheese 3) Vegetable platter with feta 4) Fried chicken tenders – a truly delicious treat! We also had an aioli with two types of baguette (where can you get that...?) – the aioli was super fresh and very well-seasoned! Not too overpowering with the garlic – just perfect! Really good value for money 👍 The service was very polite and always looked after us!

The atmosphere is nice, but very loud. The portions are a bit smaller, but more expensive. Still, it tastes very good!

Decent atmosphere. Mediocre food. Slow service.

Good location and ambience. Unfortunately, the service and price-performance still left room for improvement.

Started raining heavily 10 minutes ago. Sat outside with my girlfriend. Received our food and drinks just before the heavy shower. Despite the umbrella, it rained on our food from every corner. A younger waiter offered to replace anything that had rained on us. Even though it actually completely rained on our tapas and our drinks, we were humble and didn't want to replace the food and continued eating it as is. We just went into the restaurant with our drinks and asked for an exchange (the waiter offered it to us). Another waiter then refused us the offer and said that it wouldn't work. We are deeply disappointed with the location and a competent service person would satisfy the guest and not scare them away,

The gentleman behind the counter who described himself as the person in charge was completely unfriendly and not competent to provide service. Service means friendliness at all times. Food wasn't tapas like. The taste is not at all like in Spain.

You don't need any more bread basket with aioli 👍and non-alcoholic cocktails are also highly recommended!

Went to the restaurant again today because we were very impressed the last few times. Unfortunately we were very disappointed today. The tapas portions were significantly smaller today and the quality of the dishes was also disappointing. Our bread basket consisted of baked goods from the supermarket and arrived significantly later than our tapas. Price performance is a disgrace. The service was very friendly every time. Unfortunately the atmosphere was also very restless. The noise in the restaurant due to mixers and clattering dishes was very disturbing.

As spanish and lover of spanish food, very disappointed with this place saying they cook spanish food. Nothing was alright about the tortilla de patatas (simply see picture), overcooked dry egg, random mix of vegetables, very disrespectful with original recipe. I didn't even try the paella, just by looking at the ingredients they put in what they call Valencian paella (where I come from) is enough reason to call the international paella committee (see picture). Please, not every arroz is paella. It's okay if you want to cook spanish food but please a minimum of study and practice before doing it for the sake of respecting a great gastronomy. I don't think any Spaniard would approve this place at all. Rest of tapas very unflavoured.

Paella, especially Spanish paella, tastes more like fried rice. He brought the leader here, and he was completely embarrassed.

C’est peut être des tapas mais pas espagnoles. Pata negra qui n’en est pas, prix absolument hallucinant par rapport au quantité. Service assez médiocre, personnel limite arrogant. Très déçu !!

Food and service was really good

Super delicious! Great service, definitely worth a visit if you are in Nuremberg.

Das Personal war insgesamt relativ unfreundlich. Auf eine Cola haben wir 30 Minuten gewartet, nach mehrfachem Nachfragen. Das ist aber alles im Rahmen und kann man akzeptieren. Beim bezahlen und Eingabe des Trinkgeld-Betrags wurde ich jedoch unaufgefordert gefragt, ob mir meine Firma ein Limit für Trinkgeld vorgibt, denn normalerweise wären 10% üblich. Es ist vollkommen unverschämt, dem Kunden zu sagen, wieviel Trinkgeld er geben sollte, A-K.! Leider für unsere Geschäftsessen keine Option mehr!

I was in Nuremberg to visit a friend of mine, and she introduced this spectacular restaurant, im in love with that's food. Very nice place and it's a really nice taste experience.

Good food, a little loud, when crowded

Very well done from start to finish

Overwhelming... Since I often have to travel to Nuremberg for business reasons, I enjoy trying out the culinary cuisines, and I haven't tried Spanish in a long time. The ambiance: In short, a very inviting, lovely atmosphere. The service: Wow, what friendly people. Charisma and always a smile, thank you for the inner sunshine. The food: I had three tapas and was very impressed. It was honest. It tasted as good as it looked, and appealing. In two weeks, I'll be back in Nuremberg and repeat the inner flower-picking.

They pass off terrible ham as jamon serrano, frozen tortilla, inedible chicken. Only good thing bread + garlic sauce. Absolutely avoid.

The food was good but we were really surprised to see on the receipt that we got charged 6 EUROS FOR TWO GLASSES OF WATER !!! Whereas we specifically asked if we can have tap water in two glasses. We checked two times if the waiter understood what we asked and said it was okay. So I really don't understand this attitude. The waiter didn't appear to want to be there.

Super tasty and inexpensive! Nice service and it's very quick.

We were there 2 days ago. The bartender Hanna was very nice and competent. She mixed my cocktail to my taste. She was very attentive the whole evening. The food was very tasty. We can highly recommend the restaurant.

NeoTaste Flop of the Year… only one voucher per group… no matter whether you are 2nd or 20th! Food tastes below average, alcohol is cheap.

The food was good, but nothing special. The salmon cubes are almost a little dry. Still a very solid meal/restaurant for a Saturday evening. We found it a shame that our table was occupied twice - but we hadn't been told this before - the service couldn't be faster due to the stress and we couldn't even order dessert. The service person also rolled his eyes several times and was mushy...

The seating is far too tight, extremely loud – you feel like you're eating in a train station!

Perfect for everyone who likes to pay premium prices for discounter quality - and as a bonus, the boss personally shows each guest how little they count here. Every cent well invested!

Extremely delicious tapas... Great atmosphere 👍👍👍👍👍

Had a selection of tapas and some shots. All very tasty and the shots went down very well! Service was excellent and beautiful location.

Terrible service, especially if you don’t have the ‘right’ look. Staff ignores you, and the manager treats you like you don’t belong there.

The food was bland, the ham came straight from the supermarket package (sometimes not even torn apart!), and the paella tasted as if they were trying to disguise old ingredients with spices.

We celebrated our friend's birthday. It was a fun place. The food is also very tasty.

Nice atmosphere and service. Unfortunately most of the tapas were not good (2/3). Sanitary facilities were ok.

The food wasn’t fresh. I threw up after I got home

The restaurant has a great atmosphere and is very inviting. Unfortunately, it was extremely crowded and loud during our visit. We were seated in a poor spot, and the waitresses were hard to reach, which caused delays and incomplete orders. Despite this, they did their best. The food was excellent, but the crowd made the experience less enjoyable. We’ll definitely return, but at a quieter time.

This restaurant has many good reviews, but criticism is not accepted - everything is dismissed as a "misunderstanding". The food is overpriced (like frozen food) and the service is poor, especially towards Asians. The boss is passive-aggressive. Here criticism is labeled as a “subjective feeling” – customer satisfaction is replaced by manipulation and gaslighting. If you're looking for disappointment, this is the place for you. Paying money for a psycho-manipulation lesson in a restaurant – just fantastic!

We paid over €170 for six people. If the service had been friendly and the food had been convincing, I would have happily paid even more. But obviously this restaurant is not a good choice for celebrations. My friends arrived first, but the staff was too busy with themselves to even greet them. Instead, people just continued chatting while the guests were ignored. I made a reservation a week in advance, but our table was squeezed into the tightest corner of the restaurant - uncomfortable even for a short person. Coincidence? Or selective placement? I would like to emphasize that the waitress who served us was very friendly - there is nothing wrong with that. But the reaction of the restaurant management, especially the boss and the female manager, was more than disappointing. If a birthday cake is considered ‘weird’ here, why is there an option for a ‘birthday party’ on the website? If that wasn't planned, I would of course have asked beforehand. Apparently the information on the website is just as misleading as some of the restaurant rules. The meal itself was disappointing: the salad was consistently bitter and barely edible. The seafood paella? It had little taste and was more reminiscent of a cheap package of curry rice from the supermarket than a Spanish dish. And yes, our table was in a good mood - after all, we didn't want to let it ruin our evening. But that doesn't mean the food tasted better or the service seemed friendlier. 170 euros later, I ask myself: If I could go back in time, I would rather donate the money - because then at least someone would have enjoyed it.

Solo quería tener una celebración de cumpleaños agradable sin preocuparme por detalles menores, pero aparentemente, el restaurante tenía otros planes. Si no permite pasteles de cumpleaños, ¿por qué ofrecer una opción de “celebración de cumpleaños” para reservas? Eso es engañoso. Una simple aclaración por adelantado podría haber ahorrado a todos el trabajo. ¿La comida? Digamos que la ensalada fue una amarga sorpresa, literalmente. ¿Y la llamada paella ‘española’? Tuvo tanto que ver con España como esta noche tuvo que ver con el buen servicio. A pesar de que nuestra mesa se mantuvo de buen humor, la experiencia general fue decepcionante. 170 € más tarde, puedo decir con confianza que si pudiera volver atrás el tiempo, preferiría donar ese dinero a alguien que realmente lo merece.

Great food, great visual accents (spatial), but unfortunately far too loud when the restaurant is full.

Great but the prices are expensive.

I came from Montenegro and waited an hour for a cocktail but I didn't get it

I don't know how they can say it's Spanish cuisine, I don't know what it looks like at all, How can they call pata negra ham and serve you the worst ham I have ever tasted, totally industrial? It is a disdain for Spanish food

..my favorites....tapasitos cooler...and....Long Island iced tea....many greetings from me and my wife to the gentleman at the bar who has been preparing the drinks for years with consistently high quality and passion for me....
