Nicola Restaurant is the vision of Executive Chef Nicola Allegretta. After creating several successful concepts such as Mama's Meatball and Mistura Restaurants in San Luis Obispo, Chef Nicola opened this new project as an homage to the *Bachiche*. In Peru, *Bachiche* refers to the unique combination cuisine born from the blending of Italian and Peruvian culinary traditions. It describes dishes that merge Italian ingredients and techniques with Peruvian flavors—or vice versa—a style that emerged after Italian immigrants, particularly from Genoa, arrived in Peru during the mid-19th century.At Nicola Restaurant, you’ll discover both the latest trends in Italian and Peruvian cuisine as well as timeless classic dishes.

    Great service and good. We arrived early and the manager took our drink order and served us some great cocktails while we waited. Waiter (tall blonde kid) was working hard and really took great care of us. His support team was all over it and engaged. Parking in rear makes it very convenient as SLO weekend evening parking can be challenging, especially with all the construction that’s going on in DT SLO. Artwork is exceptional. Looking forward to our next dinner at Nate’s.

    The restaurant is a little dark in the late afternoon. We had the calamari to start. Crispy, tender rings and tentacles. Good sauces. Then we had mussels basquaise. Fat, perfectly cooked mussels in smoky garlicky chorizo tomato sauce with a large tasty slice of garlic bread. Delish. The third dish was broiled oysters with Parmesan. These were a little sandy but tasty. For dessert, we shared an outstanding slice of Basque pumpkin cheesecake with whipped cream and cocoa nibs and pumpkin seeds on top. We were swooning; it was so good. Service was prompt, competent and friendly. Thanks for a great dinner.

    Peruvian food is the best in the world, too bad a lot of North Americans don't know it! We Peruvians have been winning many world culinary awards lately and we have surpassed the French! Mistura is a very upscale Peruvian Restaurant and I'm so happy they are doing well. We have so many varieties of dishes in Perú and that's due to our 3 distinct regions in the country. The coast, the sierra and the jungle . Our food has variety, many ingredients and we have our beloved immigrants that came from China, Japan, Arabia, India,Germany bringing in all their ingredients and adding them to ours creating out of this world culinary experiences. I was introducing my friend to the Peruvian Experience and she was blown away! Thank you for providing the platform on where to launch her into the Peruvian Experience!
