Meghan N.Meghan Newell: Best thing not on the menu: nickys polenta, sub scrambled eggs for polenta. Veggie and protein explosion! Soooo good!

VegNews MagazineVegNews Magazine: Nicky's Polenta goes south of the border with the addition of salsa ranchero and black beans, while a side of stir-fried veggies and cabbage salad helps this dish err on the side of healthy.

Richard M.Richard Meaney: The Polenta is nothing special, but the sardines, gnocchi, caesar salad and spaghetti apps are all fantastic.

DAN C.DAN COX: I am addicted to the polenta. Try it as a starter, then substitute an order for the salad, and ask for a side to accompany your entree. Polenta for dessert is a good idea, too.

Julie G.Julie Gauthier: Decent bread with butter! Great polenta, clams, and amazing spagetti! Don't forget to take the panna cotta (Italian desert they to with buttermilk instead of mascarpone), it's worth it!
