The food here was so fresh and amazing! The wine was excellent and the service was the some of the best we have ever experienced in a restaurant. I am a vegetarian and they even made a special Pasta Primavera for me that was out of this world good! Loved this place, would highly recommend!

My wife and I frequent the North End very often but had never been to Nico. After purchasing a GROUPON certificate we went this past week. It was as promised and more. The food was wonderful....light, subtle flavors and a perfect presentation and portion. The wait staff was attentive and helpful with recommendations. The restaurant had a nice ambience with... More

Nico, in the North End, one of restaurateur Nick Verano's original establishments, consistently serves up traditional Italian fare as well as outstanding specials incorporating fresh, local ingredients. I visited recently as part of a large group and as usual the service and food were very good. Our large party had to be seated in the basement, which is a little... More

Good food and varied selections. Wine list good if not a bit pricey and tables are a bit too close to each other. I would return if in the area.

With all the choices for an Italian restaurant in Boston's North End, we did our research and decided on Nico. We were not dissappointed. The hostess was most accommodatiing. We arrived an hour before our reservation and she was able to seat us. The server was very personable and made us feel really welcome. Something you don't always see at... More

While our waiter was friendly, the food left a lot to be desired. The wine was excellent. We had a Barata as an appetizer. This dish has tomato, buffalo... More
