nico

from our brief experience in little italy in boston, all of the restaurants are small. nonetheless, the food was amazing! the antipasti appetizer was large enough for an entrée with 3-4 different meats, at least 3 different cheeses, grapes, artichoke hearts, and olives. my friend and i were glad we shared! fortunately, our waiter took our appetizer order, brought it to us, and we ate it before orderingdinnerso we decided to just share an entrée too. we were glad we did - it was a huge portion for more than just 1 of us and we wouldn't have been able to have leftovers since we were in a hotel. we had the swordfish special that was cooked and spiced to perfection! very tender and flavorful with a tube type of pasta. i would definitely return to this restaurant! we did make prior reservations and i highly recommend you do that for any restaurant in this area.

we had a great dining experience at nico last night. our waiter was terrific. not only was he professional, friendly, and welcoming (i felt like i was adinnerguest in his home), but he was also extremely knowledgeable about the menu. he was able to accommodate almost anything for us. nico is part of the varano group, which owns strega and strega waterfront. both have gluten free pasta everyday. nico, you must call a few days in advance, let them know you are coming, and voilà, they will have gluten free pasta ready for you! there’s a great groupon deal available! get it here . you can choose tow options $30 for $60 or $35 for $80. go for the $80, you will want it, especially if you have 3 or more people. we started with complimentary olives and the capesante al pesto appetizer. in english – pan seared deep sea scallops served over grilled baby eggplant and garnished with pine nuts and a pesto sauce. omg. to die for!! the scallops were huge and i just loved everything ab
