" I had high expectations for Nico Ristorante after hearing so many good things, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the calamari to start, which was crispy and well-seasoned. For our mains, the lobster ravioli was a standout—so much fresh lobster! The ambiance was busy, yet warm, making it a great spot for date night. There were a few small hiccups with service during busy hours, but overall it was fantastic. Plan to book a reservation to avoid long waits! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great lunch at Nico Ristorante! I tried their eggplant rollatini, and it was delicious. The waiter was attentive, and I appreciated the warm bread as a starter. It was busy, but you could feel the positive energy in the restaurant. The only downside was that the seating was a bit cramped for my taste. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone looking for satisfying Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pros: The lobster ravioli was amazing, and the tiramisu was divine! The ambiance was very cozy, and it felt perfect for a date night. Cons: the service was a bit slow at first, but they warmed up as the night went on. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience! The food was incredible—each dish crafted with care and bursting with flavor. The cacio e pepe is not to be missed, especially when made tableside. The energy in the restaurant was buzzing and fun! Staff were clearly passionate about what they do. This is my new favorite Italian spot in the North End. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nico Ristorante had some of the best pasta I have ever eaten! We ordered the famous meatball, which was indeed giant and delicious. However, I was disappointed by the wait time; despite the staff being attentive, our food took a while to arrive. The atmosphere was vibrant, but I would recommend going during off-peak hours for a more relaxed dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nico Ristorante truly lives up to its reputation! The service was exceptional; our server made us feel welcome. The rigatoni alla vodka was a highlight of the meal—creamy and rich. The décor added to the charm of the place, too. I can't wait to visit again and try their other pasta dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I had dinner at Nico Ristorante last night, and we loved every minute of it! The ambiance is perfect for a date night—intimate yet bustling. The tiramisu was the best I've ever had, and the homemade pasta was fresh and delightful. Service was timely, and the staff were attentive. Overall, an enjoyable evening! " (*Curated Review*)
