" This was my first visit to Nica Trattoria, and I can't express how delightful it was! We were greeted by the owner who made us feel like family. We started with the grilled artichokes—absolutely delicious! For mains, I opted for the lamb chops while my friend had the famed gnocchi. I appreciate that every dish is made with love and attention. A bit on the pricey side but worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)
