| - This is probably the most food forward establishment in Downtown Gilbert. All of the other places were "Just ok" or decent....they didn't suck. But it wasn't anything to write home about. But Nico Heirloom Kitchen looks like they take time and put effort into planning their menu. We had the grilled octopus fir an appetizer, and that was unique. The texture of the geilled octopi was unlike any I've had before. But being that it was grilled, the amount of smokiness detectable in the octopus while paired with the pepperiness of arugula.... it was a bit overwhelming for my tastebuds. For my entree I had the chicken that was a 1/4 chicken with sauce on it, laying on a bed of creamy polenta. It was so savory and rich, and it reminded me of comfort food meets haute couture dining. Very yummy. Generous portions (I had to box the rest up), and excellent service. We spent $90 between the octopus, my dish, an Old Fashioned, my hubby's dish which was the lasagna, which he thoroughly enjoyed, and a sprite...and a mochamisiu dessert which was excellent. It's pricey, but a nice choice for a special night out. Nico Heirloom Kitchen definitely stands out in the sea of restaurants on Gilbert Rd.
