Wonderful and delicious Italian food served at this establishment. We have been coming to Nicolisi’s for about 7 years, since it was previously located by Cowels mountain. We absolutely love the 6 cheese pizza which is flooded with so much flavor. We also tried the lemon chicken pasta which was divine. It has a creamy texture, mixed with diced chicken and artichoke hearts. It is zesty and not too tangy. The service we received from Chris was exceptional. This is a must try restaurant!
