Executive Chef/Owner
Nicholas has had a growing love affair with cooking every since he was a child. That affair really took roots when he was working as a waiter in a retirement community and decided to earn his community hours, for school, by volunteering to learn and help cook on his days off.
Cooking had become such an obsession with him that he opted to give up his studies in mechanical engineering and attend Pennsylvania Culinary School in Pittsburgh. While going to culinary school, he worked full-time at Signeri Pasta Grill in Pittsburgh. Nicholas obtained his culinary degree with honors and decided to do his externship at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando Florida.
After his externship, Nicholas has worked in several known restaurants on the East Coast such as Bergamo’s Fine Dining, in Orlando, That’s Amore, in Columbia and Rockville, Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse, in New York and Clydes’ Restaurant Group, in Columbia and Rockville. Having worked in these different kitchens has given Nicholas an extensive amount of knowledge in the restaurant industry. This knowledge has enabled Nicholas to create a unique cooking and management style and the confidence to venture out on his own.
Nicholas plans to bring his style of cooking to the Bicycle, but keeping the overall concept the same. He likes to focus on presentation and making each component of a dish full of flavor, being able to stand alone while complementing the flavors of the other ingredients.
