The food never disappoints. I appreciate the consistency of quality when it comes to the dishes.

We met for a girls night out. We realized that one of us had just celebrated a birthday two days before. Phil who is the manager ( matre-d) was very instrumental in bringing the birthday surprise to our girl at the 11th hour! So much fun. Nico's had two AMAZING singers serenading the whole restaurant! The vibe was happy and lovely. The food was superb and the cocktails were strong. The way it should be! This was my first time dining at Nico‘s and definitely just the beginning of a new relationship!

What a fantastic little restaurant! Everyone was super friendly and very helpful. The espresso martinis were fantastic and the food....the food......THE FOOD was incredible. I got the burrata and prosciutto to start and there was hardly any left. Then I also ordered the Chilean sea bass with lobster raviolis and they were to die for the bartender had recommended it and she was dead on it was delicious. I will definitely be back

we went here before a show at TD garden. It was hands down the best Italian restaurant I have ever been too. I honestly can't decide between Hell's kitchen at foxwoods or Nico's. I ordered the Tableside Cacio e Pepe but because we chose bar seats I didn't get the tableside experience. I was asked what I would like for protein and I picked the meatball 🧆 which was at least 1 lb of beef, it cut like butter and I have never had a meatball so good but the pasta was just as good. we also had the Lobster alla Boscaiola i was informed not only was it the best lobster dish ever, they were very generous with the amount of lobster.🦞 also Nico's paradise rum drink👌

We had a reservation but still felt rushed. My food arrived lukewarm and I asked for it to be reheated. It was delicious.

Excellent food and ambiance! We had a wonderful time watching the people pass by outside of the window and the Italian singer was fun and engaging!

One of our favorite North End restaurants. We enjoy sitting upstairs. Sadly, I was disappointed with the eggplant parmigiana. I could not find any eggplant or pasta in the 10lbs of cheese. I would not order again. The meatball and Sea Bass are still amazing! Veal parmigiana was good as was octopus. Red Wine seemed watered down or just didn't pour what I ordered.
Loved our first night out at Nico Ristorante! It was an intimate setting and the service was very good. Phil was beyond welcoming and even took time to chat with us sharing stories from his own mother's kitchen. The wait staff was observant and checked in frequently. The chef accommodated dietary needs easily. We will definitely recommend it to others.

Had quite the treat with my family at Nico. We were promptly seated (had a reservation) and the staff was quick to attended to us. The meatballs they serve here, whether as an app or main course, are huge, flavorful, and tender. I ordered the short rib, worth the price! While the lobster bits were succulent, they didn’t add much to the dish overall. The bartender was kind and thoughtful to the point of gifting the table limoncello shots after dinner. Our waitress was knowledgeable and offered me a bottle of the balsamic vinegar they use because I had inquired about what brand they use with their bread. Nick, the owner, was on-site and was welcoming and made sure all diners, not just our table, were taken care of. I highly recommend Nico for a night out on the town!!

Another great meal at our favorite spot! This is always a must when in town...The meatball, Cacio e Pepe & Burrata salad are simply the best... super energetic fun spot and if you want something a bit quieter, there is seating downstairs. If you are looking for a fun atmosphere and great food, this is your place!

Really good food and service, but the techno music in the basement was very annoying.
