    Sitting at the communal table is always a wild card. In this case, the other five diners were quiet and didn't really interact with us. The same gamble applies to the chef assignment. Nick did a good job (considering there was a strange dietary restriction that completely changed the way he seasoned the food) but he was pretty low key, didn't talk much or interact with us. The two chefs at the closest tables were both more gregarious. The food is basically $50 per person. It was delicious but my chicken was prepared at the end because the chef "miscalculated" at gave all the meat to the others.

    We had a family celebration at Tavern and the entire family loved their meal and experience. The seasonal specials of the lamb gnocchi and osso bucco were wonderful along with the staples of the tavern burger. Our server was personable and attentive while allowing family time.

    Service was good, food was just average. Had the mahi mahi & coconut shrimp with rice which was quite bland. Another at table had the chicken pot pie & thought it was very good.

    My wife and I thoroughly enjoy coming to Nicoletta's Table. The food is consistently excellent, the service always attentive, and the ambiance very comfortable and relaxing. We always take advantage of the take-out bar, as well, and stock up on some Italian cookies and meat sauce. An outing to Nicoletta's Table is well worth one's time!
