From the GLV archive: March 2015. Nicli’s Next Door closed in February 2016. This review covers the former restaurant at 68 East Cordova Street and its lunch menu at the time.
A little hungry for something more than a soggy sandwich for lunch? Nicli’s Next Door now offers a prix fixe lunch menu. For just $15 enjoy a veggie-packed salad and delightful pasta. 
Chef Josh Gale’s menu is rustic Italian and focuses on using fresh and seasonal ingredients. He makes his pasta in house and his sauces fresh daily. The TAGLIATELLE with fennel sausage and creamed garlic was superb. Super tasty house-made sausage, just the right amount of garlic and quite a lot of deliciously reduced cream.
I will definitely be back to try the other pastas. Which include PAPPARDELLE with pork ragu and kale and TOMATO-BASIL MARINARA SAUCE on either pasta.
Lunch: 12-2 PM Tuesday to Friday
Dinner: 5-Late Wednesday to Saturday
