At Restaurante Nomada Dénia, Italian cooking is about much more than following tradition. It is about family, quality ingredients, sharing food around the table and finding new ways to bring familiar flavours to life. At the heart of this philosophy is Chef Mauro Gullì, whose cooking combines the traditions of his native southern Italy with years of international experience and a constant passion for quality.
Originally from Calabria in southern Italy, Mauro brings the flavours and traditions of his roots to Dénia, enriched by years of experience in kitchens around the world, from Asia and Australia to the Middle East. Today, these global influences come together at Nomada, where he combines the warmth of authentic Italian comfort food with modern techniques, carefully selected ingredients and an uncompromising focus on quality.
Homemade Cooking at a Higher Level
Mauro’s approach to cooking is centred around the idea of taking homemade food to a higher level. The dishes remain approachable, generous and comforting, but every element is considered, from the ingredients and preparation to the final presentation.
Fresh pasta, sourdough pizzas, breads, sauces and other elements are prepared in-house, keeping the feeling of an Italian family kitchen at the centre of the experience. For Mauro, quality does not mean making food complicated. It means starting with excellent products, respecting them and using technique to bring out their best qualities.
This philosophy is reflected throughout Nomada. The restaurant offers a relaxed setting overlooking Dénia Marina, where guests can enjoy carefully prepared Italian food in an informal and welcoming environment. The combination of quality cooking, attentive service and the atmosphere of the marina has helped establish Nomada as a destination for both locals and visitors looking for a memorable meal.
Italian Roots and Seasonal Creativity
While Nomada’s much-loved pizzas and fresh pastas remain staples throughout the year, Mauro also enjoys allowing the menu to evolve with the seasons. Seasonal cooking gives the kitchen an opportunity to introduce new combinations while remaining connected to the Italian foundations that define the restaurant.
Previous seasonal creations have included basil panna cotta with strawberries, tuna carpaccio and seafood cavatelli. These dishes demonstrate the balance Mauro looks for in his cooking, combining Italian techniques and flavours with fresh ingredients and a distinctly Mediterranean character.
The philosophy is also about keeping the connection to home cooking alive. Nomada’s food is designed to be shared, enjoyed and remembered, whether guests are sitting down for a relaxed lunch, gathering for dinner or stopping by for one of the restaurant’s seasonal experiences.
A Kitchen Built Around Family
For Mauro, the quality of the food begins with the people behind it. As head chef, he is also responsible for mentoring and training new members of the team, passing on the techniques, standards and values that have shaped his own career.
Family is an important part of the philosophy at Nomada. It means supporting one another, sharing knowledge and working together to maintain the same level of quality throughout every service. It also means taking pride in making food properly and keeping the homemade element at the heart of the restaurant.
This sense of teamwork can be felt in the dining room as much as in the kitchen. Nomada’s approach is built around creating an experience where guests can relax, enjoy good food and spend time together, while the team takes care of the details.
A Taste of Italy in Dénia
From Calabria to Dénia, Mauro has brought a little of his culinary heritage with him while continuing to evolve as a chef. His international experience has broadened his perspective, but the foundations remain firmly rooted in Italian cooking, family and an appreciation for quality.
At Restaurante Nomada Dénia, this translates into food that is familiar and comforting while still offering something new to discover. With homemade pasta and pizza, seasonal creations, carefully sourced ingredients and a menu that continues to evolve, Mauro and his team are creating their own interpretation of contemporary Italian dining by the sea in Dénia.
