Glasgow restaurant's new menu inspired by famous New York deli

Six By Nico is offering diners a chance to embrace the New York food scene with the carefully catered six-course menu taking inspiration from some of its most familiar delis, pizzerias, cafes and more.

From street food trucks and hot dog stands to fine dining, the city that never sleeps is known for having some of the best restaurants in the world.

To discover the city, meet the locals and develop the menu, Six By Nico chef Nico Simeone and his team flew to New York for four days to learn more. 

The result is the new six-course tasting menu taking in flavours from visits to the iconic Joe's Pizza and Katz's Delicatessen which enjoyed a stint on the silver screen with a cameo in When Harry Met Sally. 

The menu is as follows: 

New Yorker Slice - pepperoni ragù, panzanella and pecorino foam, savoury cookie and truffle royale (Inspired by Joe’s Pizza)

Nico said: “I have visited New York with my wife before and fell in love with the city. It has such a vibrant energy and somewhere I knew we would have to visit to explore the local food scene. New York is a city full of surprises.

"Every neighbourhood and street has a hidden gem – it was amazing to experience this side of it in more depth with our team of chefs.

"We met with locals, wandered the city day and night and tried so many different food types. This made it really difficult to choose the final menu in all honesty.

"But we got there, and it’s pretty special. We’ve taken some of our favourite flavours and dishes we tried and adapted this into the tasting menu concept.

"It could be one of my favourite menus we’ve created so far."
