I go to Nicaro's at least 3 times a month- have yet to be dissapointed. My favorites are the Walu fish and the Cuban sandwich. The wait staff is wonderful.
Simply put the food at this Silver Spring newcomer cannot be beat. Often times, high quality cuisine is paired with a stuffy atmosphere. Not so at Nicaro. The atmosphere had a relaxed, neighborhood feel infused with excitment. Our waiter Rich had a great sense of humor and made excellent recommendations throughout the meal. The pace of the meal was also seamless, we had time to enjoy each course of our meal, feeling neither rushed, nor wondering where the next course was. The portions were also perfect, leaving you full unlike some nouvelle cuisine spots. Nicaro is the perfect spot for anyone looking for amazing and original cuisine without a pretentious atmosphere. Don't miss out on the gnocchi or Thai butternut squash soup.
Three and one half stars for food, minus 2 for racket. Perhaps lunch is OK, and certainly the bar is nicely buzzing and eating there is fun, but the noise in the dining room ranges from simply painful to full-on torture. Can't hear the wait staff, can't hear companions, and CAN hear the bellowing at each and every adjacent table. And in order to BE heard you start bellowing yourself, which causes all the other tables to yell even louder. WHAT a pity. Given the fun and well-thought food, Nicaro's should be THE Go-to Place. Jackie Greenbaum-- you win! your service is horridly uneven, seating can be crowded and your wine list is variable, but at least your clients are not maimed for life upon departure and your food just as good.
Bethesda has about 10 gems and Rockville has a handful but what city/town can say they have a #1 restaurant? From the consistency of the food, service and ambiance.....Nicaro rules the roost of Silver Spring. Today had the lentl soup and a Cobb salad for lunch YUMMY!!!!! All of their American and seafood dishes are cooked perfectly everytime and from friendly Pedro to manager Andy you feel welcomed in a special way not canned at all. The 60 or so seats on the one side are perfectly balanced in the beautifully designed interior while the bar side could be a restaurant in itself and don't miss out on happy hour and its specials!!!!!
