Nomad Market Eatery

We’ve been to Nomad twice since the change of ownership and the food wasn’t good both times. We got fettuccine Alfredo a couple days ago and it was very plain, no flavor, no protein and pricey. It used to be a great spot with some unique items on the menu, always fresh and delicious. It’s become less than average and, unfortunately, we won’t be going back.WARNING: if you post a negative review, the owner will respond in a very rude, unprofessional manner or just tell you that you haven’t eaten there. Just scroll through other people’s negative comments and you’ll see what I mean.To the owner: this review is not factual?! Wow! Let me refresh your memory! It was a to go order, my husband picked it up and paid with a gift card. The owner (I believe) even commented, “oh it’s one of those”. Unfortunately, we still had a balance on it because the only other time we went, the owner asked if we could pay partially with cash so we did even though we didn’t want to! They just reopened under the new ownership and needed the $$$. So when my husband Went a few days ago to pick up the order, he paid about $20 for the pasta and there were a few bucks left on the gift card so the owner gave him a small chocolate. Owner, does this ring a bell or do you need me to find and post a picture of the receipt?!! Are you still claiming my review is “not factual “?

Italian dinning at it's best. The eggplant parmesan is to die for. Lightly breaded and fried perfectly, let's all the eggplant flavor come through nicely. The gnocchi was like fluffy little pillows of air and the tomato sauce was like grandma's. Just the right amount of spices. The moussaka was very tasty. Francesco was very helpful in determining what wine went with what dish, a very knowledgeable man and extremely helpful. A very great experience in Italian dinning.

My husband and I, along with our two Havanese, Ernie & Fredo decided to eat at Nomad Market Eatery today and the experience could not have been better. We arrived at an "off" serving time of sorts, around 2:45 pm, or between "shifts" and were greeted with welcoming smiles and a bowl of cold water for our dogs. The food was beyond delicious and expertly prepared, the service was fantastic, the dogs were shaded and relaxed on the patio and everyone was super kind & friendly, ultra accommodating and extremely nice. As we were leaving, a lovely man apologetically approached us about "not having more servers and having us bear the Florida August heat on the patio." We were told the restaurant was moving "island side," ie: on the barrier island over the causeway(s) come September 2022 and to please come again. Thank you to these wonderful folks, and their superb food & drink, gracious accommodations and kindness towards humans and dogs...and YES we will definitely return!

Amazing owners, atmosphere, and food. Definitely making this a regular family dinner spot. They put so much care into the menu and presentation. Such authentic Mediterranean food with a lot of it made in house by the lovely owners. I got a blackberry jasmine tea that I would love to buy bottles of for home.

We had an excellent meal at the nomad Market. We had two pasta dishes, a meat tortellini and caccio y pepe, both sauces were outstanding. Our wines were very good and service by the owner was special. They also have a toffee candy that is excellent. I wish we were in town longer to try more menu itemsDefinitely try this place, it was our best meal in the area and compares favorably with meals in any city. The dish of oil, garlic and herbs with bread in the beginning was unique and delicious. This is a place that the owner and staff take pride in and do it right

Great quality food cooked and seasoned properly. So many options for gluten free, meat, vegetarian eaters. It’s hard to see it hasn’t been as busy as it should be due to Covid.

The owner is very friendly! Great authentic Italian pasta, you can tell they use very good quality ingredients. I have been there 3 times, we had great experiences!Recent update: I love the gelato ice cream sticks there, so creamy! My favorite is the yogurt blueberry ?!

Boyfriend and I went to Nomad Market Eatery and I was blown away. The service is so cozy and personal, our server was so sweet and made us feel like we were enjoying fine dining service. The menu is full of delicious sounding options that I had a difficult time deciding what to try. I finally ended up ordering To the Beet appetizer to start, roasted beets, apples, goat cheese, candied walnuts with a honey drizzle which was the absolute best way I’ve ever had roasted beets. Hands down. Must try even for those who don’t typically like beets. Boyfriend ordered their soup of the day which was potatoe and leek soup. So smooth creamy and well rounded flavor. We then got our main dishes, mine was chicken parmigiana which was cooked to perfection and had a fresh delicious sauce, he got the meatball sub which was also great. We finished everything off with some baklava which they served with freshly ground pistachios and honey. This place is easily my new favorite place to eat in all of Melbourne. A little pricier than your typical lunch spots, but will absolutely go head-to-head with some of the finer eateries in both Melbourne and Vero in terms of quality and flavor. Must try!!!!!

Can’t say enough about dinner last night. We tried so many different plates and everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for such a lovely evening ❤️

I can’t say enough about this eclectic little restaurant. The food is delicious and the people are super nice. All of our meals were obviously freshly made to order. Next time I plan to have dessert as well!!

I’ve been wanting to try Nomad for awhile & finally made it there last night for my birthday dinner with friends. When the reservation was made we said it was a birthday dinner, our table had cute little celebration confetti on it. The owners were so friendly but best of all was the food, from her homemade bread to the Bruschetta to all the dinners, Shepard’s Pie, Lasagna, Tortellini, Chorizo steak and some Flan at the end. We will definitely be back. It’s a hidden gem in Downtown Melbourne that should be checked out. Thank you for a memorable birthday and my macaroon!

We went for dinner from a recommendation by someone we had met that day and Nomad did not disappoint! The owners/chefs were delightful and very kind and the food was amazing and delicious!!! Low key, European feeling and so relaxing!

Best place to eat by Melbourne beach hands down. The owner Francesco is the best! He speaks to all his customers and is the sweetest human. Let's get to the food- the churrasco is 10 out of 10. The appetizers all hit the spot and his wine is 10/10 as well. Definitely stop by when you're in the area.

Tremendously good food at good price. Staff are good people too. Always a go-to when I’m in town.

We have always made a detour for lunch or dinner when traveling by Melbourne to eat at what was the Nomad Cafe. The last time we stopped, we were disappointed that it was unexpectedly closed at lunch time. So, when we were able to stop for lunch this past week, we were surprised. It had completely changed. Changed and different, but still terrific. It was no longer a farm to table type place, but an Italian/Mediterranean marketplace and eatery. Delicious fresh and freshly prepared foods, salamis, cheese, prosciutto, pastries, etc. We shared Prosciutto, Mozzarella, tomato, basil salad. Very good. We then had the Warm Duck and Brie sandwich on brioche bun. Wow! And a nice wine list. Friendly and enthusiastic server.It had always been pet friendly, but now the new owner, Francesco, a fellow Schnauzer lover, has added more tables to the outside, covered patio making even more tables available for folks with pets.We will continue to stop at the Nomad Market Eatery whenever we are in the Melbourne area.
