Nicolino Ristorante Italiano

Tuscan bread - 1/10 - soft, doughy, overly herbal. Lemon chicken pasta - 1/10 - dry, rubbery, flavorless. Atmosphere - 3/10 - Extremely dark Service - 5/10 . Nothing to remark. Sorry, but try something else.

To those with allergies: We had a very inappropriate and strange experience at this restaurant. It was our first time coming into the restaurant to eat. We had ordered some of their food to-go during the pandemic and we were excited to be back. My friend has life-threatening allergies to eggs and nuts so eating out can be challenging for her. They had previously stated that she was able to eat some of their food so we came into the restaurant thinking it would not be a problem. She handed the staff her allergy card and a man came back to our table to talk to us. I was unsure of what exactly his position at the restaurant was but he had come to ask us how deadly my friends allergies were. He stated he needed to ask for liability purposes and proceeded to tell us a bizarre and disturbing story about someone who had died from eating food that contained an allergen and said that my friends allergy card was a legally binding document and if something were to happen the restaurant would be completely liable in a court of law. Both of those claims are false my friends allergy card is not a legally binding document. It is simply a card that has her allergies in writing for accessibility purposes and does not have any legal implications. He urged us to think carefully about our decision to eat there, stressing that he does not like losing customers but wanted us to be sure about our decision. The person who was waiting our table was kind and tried to reassure us that my friend could eat many food items on the menu, but the damage had already been done. I am unsure of what his intent was, but this interaction made my friend very uneasy which led us to leave the restaurant. Neither me nor my friend has ever had an experience like this when we have eaten out. I was very disappointed with the level of unprofessionalism my friends allergies were handled with. It was hurtful to see this man treat my friends allergies as a liability and act as though accommodating her would be a considerable risk. Unfortunately, eating out for people with allergies often comes with various levels of inherent risk, but there are so many precautions restaurants could be taking to mitigate this and create a safe environment for all of their customers. It seems as though many establishments feel it is too much work to go the extra mile and that it does not pass the cost-benefit analysis. Although our past experiences with this restaurant had shown us that this restaurant was a safe place for people with allergies to eat, the way we were treated last night made us question this. In the future, I would urge you to please train your staff on how to interact with people with allergies and do your research on which documents are considered legally binding. By doing this, you will help avoid making an already stressful situation for the customer much worse. Giving you two stars because the wine was good. Thank you for your time.
