NICOLA'S ITALIAN KITCHEN – Restaurant

Two decades in Englewood have given Nicola's Italian Kitchen the steadiness of a neighbourhood fixture — a garden area for warm evenings, a kitchen that long ago settled what it does well. The cooking is Italian comfort at heart: spaghetti carbonara all'italiana, aglio e olio with crumbled Italian sausage, calamari in white sauce over pasta, chicken and veal parmigiana, chicken piccata, stuffed shells, and a limoncello cake regulars order without discussion. Diners talk as much about the welcome as the plates. Take it away or stay in the garden; either way it delivers.
