In this case, 3 Stars means more like mediocre
We *thought* Barry Manilow was playing tonight & knew we were hell & gone from anywhere outside the Hilton so opted to dine at Casa Nicola
Sis got soup & salad & reaction was meh, it's okay but not bowled over
I got the Penne Alla Vodka & thought the same....wasn't wowed, but it wasn't horrible either
The Tiramisu was quite yummy & Sis' Fruit w/ Creme Anglais was tasty as well
Merlot & Zin were exceptional - like any good Napa wine
Turns out, Barry ended up blowing off tonight's show & we've been kicking ourselves all evening since we could have had a really spectacular meal somewhere else, instead the mediocrity that was Casa Nicola
Lesson learned to verify the artist!
