I have a Nicolozzi Faucet Monterosa style and the hot water handle is loose and there is no water flow. The cold water handle is fine and there is good flow from the cold tap. I need to know how to take the handle apart and adjust the flow abd then re-tighten the handle.
Determine which side of your faucet is leaking by shutting off the water supply valves one at a time. If the leak doesn't stop after the first valve is turned off, it's the other line that's leaking.
Once you determine which side is leaking, turn off both supply valves.
If your valves are stuck, shut off the water main. You will have to replace hardware for both sides since you won't be able to identify whether the hot or cold side is leaking.
Disassemble the Old Faucet
Step 1
Turn faucet handles to the "on" position to release any residual water. Close the drain and place a towel in the sink to protect the surface and catch any dropped parts.
Step 2
Remove the aerator and inspect it for damage. If it's stuck, soak a towel in vinegar and wrap it around the aerator to help loosen mineral deposits. After an hour, gently twist the aerator with a towel and pliers.
Step 3
As you disassemble the old faucet, lay the parts in order on a flat surface and snap a picture for reference. Then, put those parts in a plastic bag and take them to the store with you when shopping. You may only require one part, but it may be best to buy a kit and replace everything, including a new aerator if yours is damaged.

It could be one of two problems, one simple, one serious.
If you have steel pipes you may be experiencing reduced flow due to corrosion in your pipes. Reduced hot water pressure in the kitchen faucet is usually the first sign since this is the faucet that is most used in the home.
Repiping is a job for a professional. Another symptom you may need a repipe is orange colored or rusty water.

There is a flow restrictor in the faucet. You have a very common complaint for these faucets. The restrictor will be shown in the owners manual. Remove the restictor. If you don't have the owner manual, work cautiously and take notes/pictures.

Try tightening the allen set screw behind the spout "you need a special (allen keys) to do this, and one should have came with your faucet". You can also buy or borrow an set of them.

to tighten handle, you hold lever(top of handle) while unscrewing round piece below, entire assembly should come off.look down and should be screw down there, tighten it up. flow problem could be the areator, unscrew and clean if need'd. check supply tube's,shut off valve's, (if you have them)make sure they are wide open.
