Beautiful venue with delicious drinks. The service was wonderful and we had a great time at the bar while waiting on our table. The food was good but nothing too special in my opinion.

So happy we stumbled on Nico’s the food and service here was great! Jason was very attentive to our table and did well explaining everything they had to offer. The Nico old fashion tasted great! We had the Brussels sprouts and the carrot hummus which both had great flavors. For dinner I had the chicken which was very juice, and refreshing. I’d love to go back and try more things on the menu!

This is expected for the typical Italian, steak and chops, seafood joints in this area, over priced food, mediocre quality but you are paying for the great location.

The food was very delicious. Everything tasted so good, I have never had anything like their chicken. Everything we got tasted great. Our waiter was amazing, we even got a little history about their menu and how it has evolved over the years. Good waiter+ good food=evening made!!

This is a great place for sunny afternoons or late-night people watching at the bar. I’ve always found the pastas and desserts to be delicious. Have not yet tried a full meal, so I’m rating based on what I know. Their wine list is great. Special mentions for the sparkling rosé and the super Tuscan, which are both excellent. Leans a little more on the pricey side (wine $14-19, dessert $11-14) but very much on par with other venues on the Triangle. I’ve never had bad service, either. Would recommend.

Amazing service! My glass never got below half full. The server was very helpful with suggesting a wine to go with our dinner. My fiancée and I tried the scallops, rabbit tortellini, and seared duck. We will be back soon to try more delicious courses here!

The cob salad was okay, but only because I added grilled shrimp. Without the shrimp I’d be disappointed. I’d also ask for them to go easy on the dressing next time. The Sauvignon Blanc was perfectly balanced and simply delicious.
