North Downtown / Pearl: NICOSI DESSERT BAR-

The Vibe

Dark, intimate, and a little mysterious. Earning a Michelin star in 2025, Nicosi is less traditional restaurant and more culinary experience, with an immersive setting that keeps the focus on creativity, technique, and surprise. It is made for adventurous diners who are happy to let the chefs take the wheel.

Must-Order Items

Nicosi’s pre-set menu is an 8-course dessert tasting menu of 4 bites and 4 mains progressing from savory to sweet. A beverage is paired along side each four. Your choice of alcohol or alcohol free, which you choose when making your reservation.

Pro Tip

Go in with an open mind, and don’t peek for spoilers beforehand. The experience is built around discovery, so the less you know going in, the more fun it is. This is one dinner where giving up control is kind of the whole point.
