"We went to la Nicchia for a nice dinner, I would say that first of all, the view when eating outside is extremely nice, the best time to go would be just before the sunset to enjoy a bit of the view with light out. The service was very good, they were on point, elegant and cordial. They take a bit of time to bring out the food but it is reasonable because the food is complex and tasty. They also brought us a small taster of another dish (no extra charge) when we were waiting and this was super good. All and all a great experience, you can definitely spend less than 50 euro a person here, but you won't want too"

"For a restaurant like this one, it should deserve moons other than stars! Everything and absolutely everything was perfect! Even the weather was so good that me and my group had the opportunity to enjoy a magnificent lunch on their beautiful terrace facing the lake. I think we have been very lucky to find this place. We just came to visit the lake but we had no idea where to go for lunch and because we had 2 big dogs, it wasn't so easy to find a spot that could accept all of us. We actually tried another restaurant before with tables outside but apparently (and I could say luckily) they didn't want us. So we kept walking and when we reached the beautiful terrace of Ariston hotel where Nicchia restaurant is located, we thought to ask and here we are. The service was spot on. We mainly had a guy helping us who was very friendly and nice. We were in 6 adults, 2 kids, 1 little one and 2 dogs, so not that easy. But apparently it wasn't a problem at all, so we managed to enjoy magnificent starters, followed by amazing first dishes. I was the only one ordering a second dish and I've never been happier of my choice. The "guance di bue brasate" were really over the moon. In the end, we had desserts and, obviously, they couldn't be wrong. Most of us had tiramisú which was really good. I wanted to try something more typical so I went for a strudel and, my goodness...it was divine! But it wasn't just an amazing flavour. Every dish was beautifully dressed. It was like facing a famous artist painting. I couldn't believe how everything was so great! There weren't many people or other tables around, so we never had to wait for long. In the end we went inside to pay the bill and I was impressed by how beautiful was even the room at the bar, with these windows facing a perfect view of the lake. Considering what and how much we ate, I think the price was very honest! This is truly one of my top restaurants! I'm looking forward to coming here again soon...I'm actually thinking of taking a room at the Ariston!"

"Esperienza super a La Nicchia di Molveno! Atmosfera accogliente e vista impressionante, perfetta per una cena di montagna. Il piatto che ci ha conquistati? Il cervo: tenerissimo, saporito e cucinato alla perfezione, accompagnato da contorni che esaltavano ogni boccone. Porzioni generose e presentazione curata, il tutto con un servizio impeccabile e sorridente. Abbiamo mangiato con gusto dall’inizio alla fine, sentendoci coccolati in ogni momento. Se amate la cucina tipica e volete provare un cervo da applauso , questo è il posto giusto!"

È una vera Nicchia in quel di Molveno!"
