Wondering if anyone has tried it yet, and whether it's related to the Nico in Melrose. Menu here: http://www.nicoristoranteboston.com/ Not winning any awards for neighborhood innovation there.

The menu looks pretty ho-hum also, I think I'll pass. I'd also be curious to see if anyone's tried it, I would love to have my first impression be wrong.

Is it possible to top Strega for amateurish, hideous, eight-disparate-styles-in-a-blender interior design?

Waiters uniformed like Tony Manero, Hpnotiq on the bar, David Gest-like overtweezed eyebrows, disco balls, and Roger Clemens (Boston's most beloved sports celebrity). So, there seems to be plenty of entertainment value here, but is the food any good? Sun Dec 14 15:47:04 -0800 2008 4246391 10143 MC Slim JB 4 4246483 well, everyone looks well fed......
