Nicholle Lottman - America's Sexiest Bartender

From Porcelli's Bistro, Cleveland

PLAYBOY:This place is jamming.
NICHOLLE: Yep, the lunch rush at Porcelli’s Bistro is serious, we feed you, give you a glass of wine, cocktail or martini and get you back to your office in an hour.
PLAYBOY: What’s good to eat here?
NICHOLLE: Everything, we have the best Italian food in Cleveland.
PLAYBOY: Porcelli’s does have that old-school Italian feel.
NICHOLLE: It’s like being in the Porcelli’s dining room, we are a big Italian family.
PLAYBOY: Lottman doesn’t sound Italiano?
NICHOLLE: I’m honorary now; I’m in the family. The owners are like my parents and the other bartenders are my sisters.
PLAYBOY: Is this strictly a lunch spot?
NICHOLLE: No we have a great happy hour crowd too. We have a lot of regulars because there are a lot of offices around here. We have great chemistry with the customers.
PLAYBOY: They must have needed you during Lebron James’s “decision.”
NICHOLLE: We poured more than a few drinks the night he announced he was leaving to go to Miami.
PLAYBOY: What’s your drink?
NICHOLLE: I enjoy wine, and if I have a martini it is on the rocks and I like it a little bit dirty…
PLAYBOY: Of course. We’re a little swept up in the Italian feel, what do you suggest?
NICHOLLE: We have a drink that uses one of Italy’s favorite herbs, the Basil Cocktail.
