If you're planning an Italian dinner on the south end of the island, Nonna Mia is Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa's coastal Italian restaurant, at 142 Racquet Park Drive. It took over from the resort's Verandah restaurant during Omni's multi-phase renovation. Omni's November 2025 announcement set the reopening for early December 2025 and described the new room as a nostalgic nod to Italian coastal cuisine.
The resort pitches the menu as coastal Italian flavors with a Southern twist, inspired by the warmth of a grandmother's kitchen and garden. Dishes are hand-crafted and meant to be shared around the table, and Omni calls the atmosphere lively. Inside, the columns carry murals by artist Chera Brooker, part of a series she painted across the resort as a modern take on Amelia Island's natural and cultural history.
The basics, from Omni's dining pages:
- Dinner only, served daily from 5 to 10 p.m.
- The restaurant's direct line is (904) 277-5958.
- Reservations can be made through the resort's website.
For a more casual meal earlier in the day, Surfcaster is the resort's poolside seafood spot. The Omni sits within Amelia Island Plantation, several miles south of downtown, so if you're staying in town or on Fletcher Avenue, transportation coordination can set up the ride down island and back after dinner.
