Pici Nottingham Review. Mini Pasta Plates That Are Authentically Delicious!

heylollyUpdated on October 30, 2025October 29, 2025

This Pici Nottingham review finds a room built for appetite: generous “mini” plates, hot-from-the-pass pacing, and staff who keep things human. Consequently, it’s the kind of place where “one more plate?” feels inevitable and yes, I’m already plotting a return.

Juicy chicken thighs, crisp skin, coated in za’a Juicy chicken thighs, crisp skin, coated in za’atar — then topped with a roasted tomato & anchovy salsa that’s sweet, sharp, salty, and full of backbone.

This dish feels like a cheat code: all the depth of restaurant flavour, but cooked in 30 minutes. The anchovies vanish into the salsa, the tomatoes collapse into their juices, and the herbs & lemon bring it all home.

These salted caramel chocolate pots are soft, glossy, and deeply comforting. It’s chocolate and caramel in delicate balance, set just enough, with sea salt to keep things alive.

The trick? 15 minutes on the hob, then the fridge does the rest. By dinner, they’re swaying in their glasses, begging for the first spoon.

This risotto’s the kind I make when I want comfort that still feels a little fancy — sweet prawns, creamy rice, and that glossy tomato sauce that clings instead of drowns.

It’s rich, fresh, and quietly show-offy — proof you don’t need to be Italian, just patient.

Sealed with a Crisp 🥔👀 Crispy on the outsid Sealed with a Crisp 🥔👀

Crispy on the outside, tender in the middle — these potato cakes don’t mess about.

Smoked salmon brings the salt and silk, avocado cream adds a citrusy hum, and the whole thing just works — hot, cold, rich, light.

Brunch? Sure. But also dinner. Or late lunch. Or the kind of solo supper that turns your whole mood around.

I wasn’t planning to make soup. But then I roasted a butternut squash. And suddenly we’re here.

Thick, smooth and a little sweet, all you need is a thick wedge of buttered bread for dunking! Don’t skip the topping, crispy sage and burnt butter make this feel like chef’s kiss. 🫠

A splash of wine adds lightness; lemon, a clean cut of freshness.
