Nico is located at The Gatsby Mansion, an impressively restored 130-year old property
on the south shore of Long Island. The venue exudes all the grandeur brought to mind
by its namesake with a roomy and richly decorated space to meet friends at the bar,
have a cozy dinner for two, gather the clan for a Sunday family-style meal and host
private parties. A ground-floor lounge opens onto a spacious patio in season and
features a 28-foot mahogany bar topped by illuminated quartz marble. The spacious
ground-floor dining room and private upstairs rooms are ample for gatherings of ten
to 180 guests. Intimate seating for two, such as at a wine table nestled next to the wine
cellar, has helped the location garner a reputation as one of the most romantic on Long
Island. Comfort and privacy is afforded with burgundy and sepia tones, velvet drapes,
upholstered wing back chairs, alabaster chandeliers and ornate wood accents. Inspiring
images of a bucolic Tuscany line the walls.
