Nicco's is one of my family's favorite spots. If you want to eat inexpensively, purchase the pizzas ($10 to $13) that are large enough to split. Plus, if you have plans to hit the movie theater after, Niccos has a deal where every $15 you spend nets you a Majestic movie pass for $5. That can add to the savings. Dinners are exceptional. Dishes like Marsala, Saltimbocca, or Piccata come with s delightful risotto cake and the vegetable you choose (Asparagus, spinach, zucchini, if they still have the swiss chard it is highly recommended.) Other pasta dishes give you a choice of pastas. All tables get bowls of warm bread and olive oil dipping sauce that is loaded with fresh garlic. While I think I make a better picatta (nothing personal) the chef excels at the Marsala, Fruitti de Mare, and the bolognese sauce. Vegetarians will find eggplant parmesan, marinara sauce, salads, and some of the antipasto platters to their liking. Overall, the staff has been exceptional. For those with children, only one waiter seems to be rather unfriendly towards children, we've had him three times and he ignores their request for extra drinks. He's great with adults though, so if we are going out as a family, we just request a row other than his. Otherwise, we have never had a problem there.
