Cristian Pietoso has made an about face on moving Nicola’s downtown. Last September, the chef/owner announced that the Pendleton mainstay would move into the former Pigall’s space on Fourth Street but earlier this month, he said in a Facebook post that “with the thought of guests in mind as well as unexpected opportunities, we’ve decided to keep Nicola’s right where it is.” Those “unexpected opportunities” include purchasing the building that currently houses Nicola’s. “As we approach 30 years this April, we know this update may come as a surprise, but we’re excited about what’s unfolding behind the scenes,” the post read. “There are good things ahead, and we can’t wait to share more when the time is right.” Pietoso still has plans to launch another concept in the Fourth Street space so stay tuned.
