" The moment I walked into Nico Osteria, I was captivated by the elegant decor and the pleasant aroma wafting from the kitchen. The charred octopus was a revelation, perfectly cooked with a delightful char. The pasta dishes echo traditional flavors while offering a modern twist. However, the service left something to be desired as it took time for my drink order to be fulfilled. Despite this, the wonderful food experience will definitely bring me back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am so glad I chose Nico Osteria for our team dinner! The waiter was knowledgeable and the ambiance was perfect for conversation. However, the portion sizes were a tad small for dinner. The food itself, though, was executed beautifully, and I appreciated the careful attention to detail in every dish. It was still worth it for the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a memorable dining experience here, with friendly staff and top-notch food. The brussels sprout bruschetta was standout and so delicious! I found the mains a bit pricey for the portions, though. Overall, the quality of ingredients was clear and very much appreciated. I can see why Nico Osteria has such a great reputation.

" Wonderful time at Nico Osteria! The pasta dishes had that homemade taste that I've missed. The staff is attentive and made sure our experience was enjoyable. I particularly loved the hand-pulled noodles with the lamb—the flavors lingered on my palate beautifully. I would definitely recommend it to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed in my visit to Nico Osteria after hearing so many good things. While the ambiance was nice and the service was friendly, the food was severely lacking in flavor. I expected fresher ingredients considering their reputation. I would consider giving it one more chance, but this experience left me unsure. " (*Curated Review*)
