Located around the corner and *down* the stairs in Port Townsend’s historic (and haunted?) “Undertown”, Nicko’s Grotto is as much about scene as it is scrumptious Italian dining. Every menu item is outstanding, but we are particularly fond of the burrata appetizer, cheese board, and pastas primavera and carbonara.
