Review:
Nico Kitchen and Bar is an enormous restaurant in the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. Its dining room can fit 185 people and 50 more can sit at the bar. On show nights and oftentimes during lunch hour, the restaurant is absolutely packed. It is an elegant place, with spacious, private boots. High ceiling makes the dining room look even larger, but the soft earthy color scheme and comfortable seating make it feel cozy.
Consulting Chef DePersio serves polished Italian food that isn’t at all pretentious. People flock to this restaurant to try his Mascarpone Polenta Fries. Check out the dessert special of the day; their pastry chef is an absolute magician.
