" Overall, Nicko's Grotto is becoming my go-to Italian spot! I've dined here several times, and I've never been disappointed. Each visit has been filled with dishes that taste like they're from a true Italian kitchen. The carbonara I had lately was creamy and rich, while the service has always been fantastic. All around, you can't go wrong! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Nicko's Grotto last weekend with friends, and it was quite the dining adventure! The veal scallopini I ordered was perfect—tender and accompanied by an exquisite sauce. The service, however, was not as speedy as we hoped; we waited close to 40 minutes for our food to arrive even though it was not too busy that night. The atmosphere was cozy with soft music in the background, so we enjoyed our time nonetheless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant, but hopefully next time the kitchen will be quicker! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm all for supporting local businesses, but unfortunately, my visit did not meet expectations. While the ambiance was inviting, the service was lacking and our orders took much longer than expected. I ordered the seafood pasta which was tasty, but considering the price, I expected it to be more generous. I feel like it’s hyped up a bit too much; I'll think twice before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for a casual dinner. The atmosphere makes it comfortable and inviting. I enjoyed the seafood pasta and the flavors were fantastic! My only complaint would be the staff seemed a tad overwhelmed; we expected a smoother service. Overall, I'd recommend checking it out for some hearty Italian meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely dining experience! From start to finish, we really enjoyed our time. The calamari starter was crispy and delicious. For my main course, I opted for the lasagna, and it was truly fulfilling—not too heavy but packed with flavors. The portions were reasonable compared to the prices, and I left happier than when I arrived. Can't wait to share this place with my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can honestly say this is the best Italian restaurant I've been to! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly. The food was authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor. I particularly loved the pasta dishes, which were all made to order. The ambiance was lively yet comfortable; it was a memorable experience I’d recommend to anyone visiting Port Townsend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I appreciated the warm ambiance at Nicko's Grotto, but sadly, the food fell flat, leaving me feeling unsatisfied. The lasagna I had was on the saltier side and lacked freshness. Furthermore, our service was extremely slow, and we felt neglected at times. There are better options in town, so I doubt I would return. " (*Curated Review*)
