" It was a wonderful choice for dinner! The restaurant has a warm feel, and the food delivered in terms of freshness. I enjoyed the lasagna that had plenty of flavors. However, my only hang-up was the portion size for what I paid, it seemed a little small. Overall, it was a lovely experience, just a few areas could be improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me start with the positives: Nicko's Grotto has a charming ambiance and the food was mostly good. I had the potato gnocchi, which was light and flavorful. Unfortunately, the service was frustratingly slow, and our server was not particularly friendly. I would ideally love to return, but after this experience, I'm unsure of what to expect next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today we visited Nicko's Grotto, hoping for a delightful meal. The atmosphere was cozy, but we were a bit let down by our service. It took ages to be seated and we felt ignored by our waiter. Despite this, the Bolognese I had was fantastic, full of rich flavors and cooked to perfection. If they could improve their service, this could be a top spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Nicko's Grotto is absolutely delightful, especially for a date night! The candlelit tables create such a romantic atmosphere. The seafood dish I had was flavorful, but I found the menu a bit limited, making it hard to choose. Also, while the staff were attentive, the food took longer than expected to arrive. Still, we enjoyed our meal and left feeling satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a rather underwhelming experience at Nicko's Grotto. The carbonara was pleasant, but nothing extraordinary. The prices seemed high, especially given the portion sizes, which left more to be desired. It felt like a typical tourist spot rather than a genuine local dining experience. The atmosphere is nice, with an inviting atmosphere but sadly, I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. " (*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*)
