nico

we had agreatdining experience at nico last night. our waiter was terrific. not only was he professional, friendly, and welcoming (i felt like i was a dinner guest 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 agreatgroupon 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

decent food, fantastic service. we dined here last night thanks to a generous giltcity voucher. the space is bright and inviting, with windows opened to the street. the food that we got was just fine - excellent arancini with wild mushrooms, a really nice creamy burrata on a bed of rocket lettuce with fresh artichokes. the homemade pasta served with our main course was the highlight of the meal, i could have eaten an entire plateful of that exquisite fusilli. the accompanying veal parm was tender and pounded quite thin. so i give this place a thumbs up for the food, but would likely come back anyway just to enjoy the terrific warm hospitality of the staff.greatrecommendations on wine, guys!
