Came to Nicolettas after a hair appointment I had which is in the area, normally Im not up this way (however after eating here, that may change!)
The inside is absolutely beautiful. Wonderful ambiance, quiet and a huge chandelier that immediately draws your attention upwards. Diana was our server and she was an absolute delight. So incredibly friendly, kind, told us a little about the wonderful changes to come.
We ordered the mozzarella sticks, arugula pie, chicken pesto and goat cheese pizza (with the chicken on the side as I was with a vegetarian), a limoncello spritz and raspberry tartufo.
Diana actually came around with these limoncello spritz samples as we were waiting for our appetizer and well, I loved it so much I ordered one! Light, refreshing and a great way to beat the Florida heat for a bit.
The mozzarella sticks were delicious. A bitter better than your run-of-the-mill mozzarella stick, definitely had more flavor, and was a nice way to kick off the meal.
The chicken pesto and goat cheese pizza was incredible. The chicken was grilled to perfection, and it being on the side didn't alter the taste at all. Juicy, charred the right amount, could probably just eat a bowl of the chicken by itself! But paired with the fresh pesto and tomatoes, along with the creamy goat cheese made for a truly unforgettable meal.
The arugula pie, however, was the star! It has mozzarella and ricotta cheese, garlic and rosemary, topped with arugula and a lemon dressing. After the first bite my eyes were rolling in the back of my head. The peppery arugula combined with the bright lemon dressing would've made a fantastic salad, but then also put it on a pizza with fragrant garlic, rosemary and a blend of melty mozzarella and creamy ricotta? Actual heaven. I don't think I'd be able to revisit Nicoletta's without getting this pizza.
For dessert we were stuck between the tartufo and the tirsmisu. Because of the heat, we ended up going with the tartufo. Ive never had anything like it. It's a classic dish that is a wonderful way to end the meal, though I would definitely try the tiramisu next time!
With all the food we ordered, the drink, and two soft drinks, our total came to $101.65. Between the quality of the food, the exceptional service, and the quiet and ambient atmosphere, it was 100% worth every penny and I can't wait to come back!
