Have you used the iPod Touch Urban Spoon app to find your dinner before? Niko's Bistro was what it came up with when my friends and I were looking for a place to eat last week. Friday night, and thankfully, someone cancelled...so there was room for us. Score! At least the place was popular...
The atmosphere in this Italian restaurant is cozy but modern - a long bench along one wall of the narrow dining room, dimly lit lamps for a romantic ambience...and lots of buzzing conversation - some of it sounded distinctly Italian! Score 2! Italians go to this Italian restaurant!
I ordered the Smoked Salmon Spaghettini, which was a nice big portion of pasta for $14. The fragrant flavours of the creamy tomato sauce infused with a mouth-watering smoked taste was so delicious! I really enjoyed my pasta. One of my friends ordered the lamb, and it wasn't too great - a bit overdone (well, she DID order it well done) but the taste was gamey, and not very flavourful. The penne with tomato sauce that accompanied the lamb was an absolute disaster - soggy noodles - ick! The calamari appetizer was so-so...a bit too heavy on the tomato sauce - I prefer the breaded fried calamari myself.
I'd go back just for the pasta though ;)
