Hi ladies and gents, my name is Josh. I try to keep my digital footprint as low as possible, but I wanted to share my lovely experience at Nicosi. For background I am not a big fine dining person, I’m not a chef or a food critic. I just like food and I have only been to one other restaurant that was given a star by the tire company that has a hold on the restaurant industry. It was difficult not to compare the two when they had so much in common at baseline, such as how they presented every dish with care, creativity and reason; but were very different in the type of food and flavors. Unlike other restaurants, Nicosi focuses on desserts, a seasonal menu, and going through the natural flow of tastes from bitter, sweet, umami and sour. It was a joy to partake in. Like my other experience, the host and chef walks you through every ingredient on the course and why it was chosen. It’s a fun show and experience. I understand why it has a star, but I felt that Nicosi lacked one thing, that I wish it had.
I wish it had an extra bite, an extra course, an extra drink, 8 felt a little lacking. I needed something spicier, like literally spicier, from maybe Indian or Latin heritage to fill my mouth and stomach. It was just missing that one extra course that would have captured the whole picture for me.
Yet, I don’t regret going, I had some of the best desserts of my life and a fun time, which is saying a lot as I’m extremely lactose intolerant and took like 9 lactaid pills throughout the meal.

Congrats Nicosi on the Michelin star- well deserved- changing the game with a dessert restaurant!!
Finally getting around to my review of Nicosi- it took this long to craft the review because of how great the experience was! When I heard about an restaurant with an 8-course dessert menu, I had to say yes and am so glad I did!! No pics are allowed during the dinner which helps you be present. Shoutout to Ben, Katelynn, and Delissa! You all made this such a wonderful evening!! Being an Emmer & Rye concept, I knew it was going to be excellent. I won’t give much more about the food because you need to experience it for yourself and the menu may have changed by the time you get to go.

We tried Nicosi that features an 8-course dessert tasting menu with four flavor profiles highlighted—acid, umami, bitter, and sweet. Two courses were presented for each flavor profile and are paired with either a cocktail or non-alcoholic beverage offering. It’s a very unique experience curated from Chef Tavel, who San Antonio is blessed to have as founder of this Michelin restaurant, Esquire Pastry Chef of the Year, and James Beard National Outstanding Chef Nominee. No photography was permitted during the experience, and the menu rotates every 3-4 months

What a cool and fun experience in San Antonio, we had a great time. The dessert menu was filling and the chefs did a great job with presentation. Would definitely go back!

It’s hard for me to rate Nicosi because even though I personally didn’t enjoy half the dishes, I can’t deny they are trying something worthwhile.
I was really looking forward to this because at the few tasting menu style Michelin starred places I’ve been to, the desserts have always been exceptional. I actually really enjoyed the acid course and the umami course was genuinely amazing but I really struggled to eat both the bitter and sweet courses.
They accomodated dietary restrictions really well and were very open to talking about their dishes in detail if you asked.

This dining experience was absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I went here tonight and everything was delicious. There was a few dishes that I was skeptical on, but these guys know what they’re doing! If you’re leaning away from this experience due to how mysterious it is, I promise it will not disappoint. Take an adventure with this experience, you will enjoy it!

I don’t even know where to begin – everything was exceptional from start to finish and the chef and team so attentive, personable, and passionate/knowledgeable. Truly inspiring and the most incredible dining experience we’ve ever had. Nothing remotely close to it – don’t hesitate if you’re thinking about going. Every surprise, every dish, every drink pairing – wow! Just wow! Blown away. I had to shake the lead chef’s hand at the end of the experience – bravo! Well done, Nicosi!

Experienced Nicosi on 02/08/2025. Menu 002
Methodically curated, Michelin recommended dining experience. To respect the chefs desire for mystery, I must omit speaking of the flavors of the dishes themselves. Nicosi seats a max of 20 guests in a horseshoe shaped seating arrangement with the kitchen located in the center. This allows for each diner to observe the chefs as they plate the dishes. The dessert focused tasting menu has the option of an alcoholic or non alcoholic drink pairing.
I enjoyed the experience. The chefs were personable and full of knowledge, clearly showcasing their passion. Service was great. Up to par with fine dining experiences.
The techniques used to curate the courses exemplified the creativity the chefs have to offer. There was certainly no lack of distinct flavors. Albeit to say, I was not quite wowed by any dish in this particular menu set – taste wise. Which is just to say, another person may have felt completely opposite. I did have a couple favorites but …
I’m always on the hunt for my next euphoric bite.

First off, I want to say I was fighting my wife tooth and nail to not go here all the way until we got in the door! I had my reservations about the place as I am a very picky eater. That being said I loved it!! The food was amazing and just the setting and experience was great! I tried and enjoyed every course that was presented! Highly recommend. If you don’t think you will enjoy, like myself, I encourage you to be open minded and go for it!!
