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.

    All the parts of our meals here tonight were exquisite. The rack of lamb with sweet potato as sweet as a desert, the perfectly cooked and assembled pasta dishes, and the scallop antipasto, a party in the mouth. Our waiter was understanding and helpful, taking care of our table and helping us navigate the menu for a picky eater in our party.
