Got the octopus appetizer and wasn't disappointed. Pieces of octopus were really tender and it had great flavor. Oddly enough, the texture reminded me of well cooked chicken.
I heard Nico's had great pasta but I didn't want something as simple as pasta pomodoro. I was intrigued by the Timballo, a pasta stuffed crepe. The outside was crisp and the inside was filled with pasta and ragu. I wish the pasta was more al dente. It was novel and good but not mind blowing.
My husband got the rigatoni, that had great al dente pasta with an earthy pork sugo sauce. Not very saucy but all the pasta was evenly coated.
Dessert was decadent and delicious, I'm glad we saved room. Sticky toffee with moist chocolate cake, topped with a refreshing marscapone gelato. Yum
We went on a Tuesday evening, not many people, great date location.
