Nico Osteria

Great Sunday bruch.Eggs in Purgatory were amazing.

Service food and atmosphere were great. We had breakfast.

Service was less than what we had expected. Server ignored us after we ordered. We had food issues and manager was helpful, but we were really surprised at the lack of attention and follow thru from the server. Server assistant was a star though and was non-stop all night!

Great food and service. Creative dishes. Always consistent across the board. A must while in Chicago

Service friendly and attentive, and room is still very appealing but the big problem this time was the food- we found the brunch menu limited and my dish (corned beef hash) sounded good but was poorly executed. Nice setting, though

Nada que me sorprendió, no hay bien ambiente y los precios exageradamente caro

Nico was terrific. Both the scallop and stuffed calamari appetizers were outstanding. And the pasta and king crab cioppino were equally excellent. The portions were ample. The deserts were a great end to the meal. The service was outstanding, the ambience most pleasant, and, even though we were there for about 2 1/2 hours, we were never rushed or pressured to leave. I will definitely go back.

Excellent and interesting food. Amazing wine list with small and organic producers. Good cocktails. Just great overall setting with terrific food and service. Very consistent but exciting go-to you will always enjoy!

Not a fan of the host, but overall great service!

Mother’s day

The food was absolutely delicious! I will dream about the Brussels sprouts bruschetta until I can go back and enjoy it again. And the gnocchi with mushrooms and peas was amazing - the sauce was incredibly flavorful and I wanted to lick the plate! The striped bass was perfectly cooked and very tender and delicious. Their homemade pistachio gelato was reminiscent of being in Italy , and the tiramisu was by far the best I’ve ever had. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and accommodating and the service was excellent. I very highly recommend this restaurant!

This was such a disappointment! We had a great meal here last fall and were excited to eat here again, but we’ll never come back. We were celebrating 2 birthdays. Our server could not have been ruder or less attentive. We had to ask someone to get her so we could order, had to find someone to get her again so we could get our check at the end. The food was a big disappointment, too.

Wonderful dinner! Highly recommend Nico Osteria for a special meal.

Great food and service.

Great meal!! Everything was fantastic!!

Simply amazing.

Food was outstanding but the place was packed, pretty noisy and our waiter trying to cover too many tables, so it made it difficult at times for service. That said we would return and hope a few tweaks make it even better.

Great food as always. Attentive waitstaff

Great food in a nice environment with the vibe of a neighborhood restaurant. good for any type of occasion. Loved it.

My friend & I had the delicious Eggs in Purgatory.

We loved everything about the experience except the desert! Otherwise a wonderful evening!

this is an overpriced average italian restaurant. the ambiance is ok service was good but the main attraction- the food - is pretty poor.

We had requested a table by the window as it was one of the first nice days in Chicago however we’re seated in the middle of the restaurant. Our waiter was also not very attentive, disappointing experience overall.

Service has always been pretty poor but food is solid. We went for Easter brunch and made reservations specifically for the patio. We were honestly pretty peeved to arrive on a gorgeous 75 degree day to find they had the patio closed, when all other restaurants nearby had packed patios. I asked why and the hostess was pretty cold in her response of “it just isn’t open.” Unfortunately it was too late to get in anywhere else so we just settled for a quick brunch here and went somewhere else for drinks and dessert.

All of the dishes were delicious and exactly as we imagined. The chef brought out a complimentary appetizer that we loved, and a complimentary birthday dessert for my Mom. Both of these gestures were pleasant and delicious surprises.

Really good food, but the tables were so close together it felt like communal dining!

Food and service were excellent. The red wine was warm, almost hot. Bottles should be stored at 55-60 degrees, especially when you’re paying $100 for a decent wine.

Very small tables making it difficult to share plates, tables WAY TOO CLOSER TOGETHER making it difficult to have a conversation, chairs uncomfortable and when we asked for a booth (several were empty) we were told they are reserved. Wouldn't go back!

Nico Osteria is always our go-to spot for celebrating all of life's happenings. They expertly combine a warm, fun vibe with tons of food and beverage knowledge. I really do feel like this is one of my happy places in Chicago!

A superb atmosphere with amazing food. Just beautiful!

Food was excellent, well prepared. Plenty of choice. The service could have been better. Our server never came over to see if we needed anything or if the food was well prepared. We even had to ask someone to get us our check. We would definitely go again.

We eat here every single time we stay in Chicago

Left the note when booking the table that this is a birthday dinner for my daughter, told the front desk that we prefer the window table with the beautiful sunshine so that we could get some good photos and memories. However the lady in the front still gave us a very tidy spot by the cooking area and left the whole plenty of window booth spots empty...So sorry we had to tell the kid that maybe we could sit at your fav table next time. But Still feel disappointed. Won’t get back. The food is good

Everything was fantastic. Food was incredible. Service was impeccable.

Tables were maybe 4 inches apart, if that. No privacy. They might as well put all the tables together. Food was overpriced and just okay, nothing to rave about.

Food very good. Nice ambiance. Have eaten at Nico numerous times and enjoyed it every time.

Lovely ambiance, incredible flavor, great wine list and fast customer service! Would absolutely go back in the future.

We sat at the chef’s bar and enjoyed watching the chefs assembling plates. We also got to see which were the most popular dishes. Food is terrific. Service is easy and knowledgeable. Definitely on the top of my favorite places to dine list.

Overly salty; long wait between courses, something has clearly changed ...and not for the better.

Need to expand the menu. Pasta serving size are so small. More like an appetizer. Over priced for serving size. With everything a la carte it really adds up and again— the portion sizes are ridiculous.
