Comfy booths & dim lighting set the mood at this classic Italian spot with an old-school feel.
The NICE GUY is a place where sophisticated meets sexy. Order modern Italian dishes under a staggered wooden interior and dimly lit lanterns. Then settle into the vintage feeling with an elegant cocktail menu and encompassing mobster vibes. Loved by fashion icons and tastemakers alike, The NICE GUY is a great place to start your night with an elegant bite or take it to the next level with live music. This innovative concept revives old-school Italian roots and adds a level of spontaneity—for those looking to play a little less nice.
