Nicole’s is a low-key Italian-focused BYO off River Road in Bogota in the site of the former Buon Amici. It offers a menu of upscale yet familiar dishes, a classy atmosphere, relatively moderate pricing and much more room to breathe than many neighborhood restaurants of the same scope.

Chefs recall the most memorable meals they've cooked for their loved ones.

Heading up Nicole's Ristorante is a duo whose experience in the business comprises both a culinary family and a career in local restaurants.
