| Nicola's contemporary honey and ochre interior and white, linen-covered tables belie its history as a nineteenth-century car barn for Cincinnati's incline trolleys. The restaurant's food has its own historic beginnings, rooted in chef-owner Nicola Pietoso's native Tuscany. Entrées include tagliolini with browned cauliflower, cream, garlic and Maine lobster as well as seared cod with Mediterranean couscous and Sicilian sea salt capers. Save room for cannoli with fresh fruit compote, ricotta cheese, chocolate and pistachio. |
