Nico Ristorante

A small Italian Restaurant in Boston's North End. Watched servers do tableside Cacio e Pepe and decided we would have to try it if we ever got back to Boston. Both my wife and I had great meals, enjoyed with glasses of Montepulciano. The restaurant has a limited liquor license, so only wine was available. Parking: Extremely limited. We chose to use Lyft.

Typical Varano group restaurant. Decent food, no regard for reservations, bottom of the barrel service. You’d think they are trying to drive away business it is comically bad.

Amazing. Delicious food, casual atmosphere, attentive wait staff. Highly recommend

Arrived for our reservations and proceeded to wait half an hour as they sat other people who came in afterwards.

We had a good dinner, my husband ordered cacio de pepe, which was prepared tableside -- very cool! Our waiter was great, very helpful, and there were plenty of busboys, etc to take care of us as well. One of our party is gluten-free, and all their pasta can be prepared gluten-free, so that was a treat. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, pescatarian

Let me start by saying, we didn't have a resy and just walked up at 6pm. They seated us right away. The ambiance was my jam...lively upbeat music, the staff were very happy and extremely attentive. I can honestly say we had our favorite Italian meals here and we've been to Italy more times than we can count. My husband is Italian! The Linguini scampi was the best we have ever had! ❤️ The burrata and proscuitto hands down the most flavorful dish we've had. The bread was fresh and soft. The service could not matched. I would come back here in a heartbeat and come every week! It was that good! I would suggest a bigger wine list with less expensive options. We settled for a $95 Vino Nobile... but less than that was far and few. They are not big on dessert since they can't compete with the pastry shops within walking distance! One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to! Bravo Nico Ristorante!

Best spot in Boston, incredible service, food, and atmosphere

I'll get right to it. I ordered the cacio e pepe and it was incredible. Best pasta I've ever had. Best food I've ever had.
