   Great little Italian resturant. Booked on a whim and glad we did. Got a table right next to the open window and it was lovely to look out over at the fire house. Food was really good - tomato’s were fresh and the pasta was delicious. It was busy and loud but as expected and the staff managed well.

   Nico is our "go to" in the North End. We dined there Saturday with friends from out of town and everyone was extremely pleased with their selections. For apps, we shared the best meatball in Boston and also the crab gnocchi. Both were outstanding. My wife and I shared the parmesan wheel (our fav) and our guests had the mushroom ravioli. We topped the meal with a nice moderately priced pinot noir and walked out happier than a clam at high tide. Nico never ceases to amaze. Enjoy!

    The drinks either didn’t have seltzer in them, or it was dead. When we asked for more seltzer water they charged us for it. The rigatoni was good but the cacio e pepe was sickening.

    Very small portions and not worth the money. We had the cacio e pepe in the parmesan cheese which was fun to watch but the flavor wasn't that good and the portion size was ridculously small for the price $34 pp. They also had run out of desserts so that was disappointing.

    I took my Wife and Daughter to Nico for Mother’s Day, and we included our Two Grandchildren: The restaurant was Very accommodating toward the children. My wife and I have been going to Nico for many years and the food is usually excellent. It wasn’t “Bad” this time, just not at par with what we normally would get. Overall it was a good time.

    Made a reservation for two months in advance requesting a more private area. When we got there, we were sat next to the bar. So loud. We had to ask 3 times for a different table. Once we got sat service was good but then was asked to move again mid dinner in order to accommodate another reservation. We were mainly excited for the cheese wheel but we got told they don’t do that on the ground level due to space, which if we had known we would have ordered something else. Overall food and service was average.

    We have gone to Nico’s for 12 years. I requested the 2 top near the bar a month a go for our anniversary. We showed up early for reservation. The 2 top we requested was open. The lady seating people gave the requested table to 2 people instead of us. We waited 45 more min for another table. Still waiting, we went to the bar to eat!! The long haired strawberry blonde who seats people very rude and didn’t care that we reserved that 2 top. Tough luck!! So, good food at nicos, but we will find a new favorite in North end. She was horrible. She never did seat us!!!!

    The ambiance of the restaurant was cute and the bar seets were nice. The bartender specifically was amazing and service was fast and drinks were amazing. However, food arrived so slow that the simplest pasta I ordered was already cold and presentation seemed sloppy. The food itself was not impressive in taste - it was bland. In an italian restaurant when the salad is 10 times better than the pasta it is dissapointing. Along with the wait and the simply “okay” food, everything seemed overpriced for what you were getting.

    READ BEFORE GOING: We reserved bar seating but we were seated in the basement, in a tightly packed area surrounded by 4-5 large, noisy parties with loud music playing that made it very difficult to hear each other. Then, we attempted to order the Nico specialty that we had come for - table side Cacio e Pepe made in a wheel of Parmesan - only to be informed that they cannot make it that way downstairs (there was no indication of this until we attempted to order it). We begrudgingly decided to order it (and as a note, you still pay full price for it even though it just shows up already made without the fun of it being made at the table). When the food arrived, the Cacio e Pepe was just bad. There were full peppercorns in the pasta, rendering it practically inedible being far too peppery, the pasta was mushy and not very cheesy at all. The rest of the food was fine but not good. Wanting out of there, we quickly asked for the check and left, feeling ripped off at the entire experience. Don’t go to Nico and expect anything at all or you’ll be disappointed. One of my worst meals in a very long time.

    Ordered the Cacio e Pepe and someone must have quadrupled the peppercorns. We never saw the peppercorns added because I would have said WHOA! IT WAS INEDIBLE!!!! I sent I back but my MIL picked at hers and left a large mound of peppercorns on her plate. My lips burned hours after tasting it 3 hours later. My daughter said this did not taste like the one she had 1.5 months ago. It was also a 79th birthday dinner for her and no recognition of that, even though it was on the booking comment. The Fusilli alla Tartuffo and Fusilli con Rabe were delicious after family let me have their leftovers. What does it take to get a table upstairs? Book 2 months in advance and still ended up in the basement.

    Busy vibe. Small dining area. Standard food options on the menu. Interesting plating -receiving entrees in the pans which cooked the meals. There were four of us: Gnocchi dish was thoroughly enjoyed-small sized gnocchi made the dish. Rigatoni vodka sauce and pasta were tasty however the sausage in the dish would have been better if sliced differently -was tough and hard to cut. Ricotta in the dish was fresh and complemented nicely. Lobster ravioli was overwhelmed by the sauce. The lobster fra diavolo with fusilli was not what expected -assumed lobster meat chunks -instead entree arrived in a cast iron pan with a good sized halved lobster (good value) which diner found difficult to remove. The dish was so hot that the fusilli continued to cook in the pan so it was over cooked. We also ordered calamari appetizer,asking for aioli on the side. It was ok,would have loved some lemon. Overall a little disappointed in our experience. Maybe our expectations were too high.

    I have been a regular at North End Italian restaurants for many years and there is none better than Nico's. The food is fresh and prepared to perfection and staff is very attentive without being overwhelming. In short, Nico's offers an unforgettable dining experience that is second to none in the North End.

    Very loud basement level table outside of restroom…not overly romantic or nice. Wait staff was inattentive but food was delicious! Octopus appetizer was best I’d had in a long time. Veal parmigiana and mushroom ravioli were delicious. Too bad the ambiance didn’t match the food!

    Reservation was for 7:30pm but ended up waiting until 9pm before we were seated. The “famous” cacio e pepe ended up being very flavorless and drowned in too much olive oil.
