" If you want fresh, authentic Italian food in a relaxed atmosphere, Nico Osteria fits the bill perfectly. I savored the gnocchi and tiramisu, both of which transported me back to Italy. Service here is usually attentive, though they were busy on the weekend, so a reservation is recommended. Overall, it was a delightful experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Nico Osteria has become a delightful tradition for me and my friends. We love the ambiance and the intimate setting. The food quality is impressive, particularly the seafood options. Just be prepared that it can get busy; reservations are highly encouraged. I can’t wait for our next night out here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Nico Osteria was a mixed bag for me. The ambiance is superb, and the dinner setting is romantic. However, my meal, while tasty, was smaller than expected for the price point. The service was also a bit slow, but the staff was friendly and accommodating. I'd return for the atmosphere and hope for larger portions! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nico Osteria has a unique charm, with a menu that reflects authentic Italian flavors delicately balanced with modern flair. My dining partner and I split several dishes, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed. From the cozy atmosphere to the exceptional wine list, there's lots to love. We will certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Nico Osteria for brunch and the food was tasty, but the portion sizes were disappointing, especially for the price. The avocado toast was bland, and I expected more for the money. On the bright side, the service was swift and the vibe is enjoyable. I might stick to dinner next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
