Nica Trattoria is a highly regarded restaurant, known for its excellent food and cozy atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for social gatherings. The Italian cuisine on offer is delicious, with standout dishes including penne alla vodka, ragu rigatoni, and linguini with clams. The restaurant provides a lively and personalized experience, making diners feel like guests in the owner's house. While the pricing is typical for the area, it offers great value, especially considering the quality of the food and the extensive wine selection. The restaurant is small, with limited seating, and about ten tables, so reservations are recommended. A few reviewers mentioned that the food can sometimes be a bit salty, but many agree that the flavors are elevated, even in traditional dishes like chicken parmigiana. The gnocchi are noted as being particularly light, and service is prompt and friendly. Nica Trattoria now accepts credit cards but prefers one card for the table. It is a great local spot that many plan to return to.
