    From entry to exit, Nicosi is nothing short of an experience that will transport you and your taste buds to an entirely different world. The setup and layout of the space set the chefs up for center stage, where you can admire their precise placement and plating of each dish before serving you. The storytelling of each dish and how it plays on your palate is truly art. Chef Tavel and his team made an incredible space to indulge in the culinary curiosities you wouldn’t believe are available in San Antonio. The worst part is when it’s all over. The experience and ambiance are so amazing that you won’t want to leave! 12/10, highly recommend!

    They were flexible with my reservation as our group was running late from a convention. That was great. My favorite feature they offer is half serving sizes for most of their entrees. This was so nice it allowed my wife and I to try different entrees and share.
