We were there to celebrate our friend’s birthday. Service is good however we barely fit in the table, not enough room for all guests and I was sitting blocking part of the access to another area so it was a bit awkward. The food was delicious! and the ambiance is great!

Went there with some friends for dinner got seated as soon as we arrived. This Resturant is byob so bring your bottles of wine. For appetizers we got the Thai calamari and the shrimp they were both good. For the main I got the linguine with the seafood in marinara sauce the seafood was good the sauce was okay. My friend got the vodka sauce and they absolutely loved it. For dessert I had the cheesecake and my friends had the cookie they both were amazing. Only thing I would add if your going with a larger party they automatically take 22 percent tip also they take 3 percent for credit card so your pretty much paying 25 percent in tip and fees which is very high. Overall place was great

Fantastic meal and certainly one of the best Lobster Pasta dishes I’ve had. The fish was perfectly cooked, with cream sauce not being too heavy. We started with hot antipasto and opened up a great bottle of wine (BYOB). The service was impeccable and the restaurant packed—for good reason—this is a great restaurant.

I had my son’s baptism at Nicolas a few months back. I meant to call to tell them how amazing our day was but if anyone has a newborn you know how crazy life gets! Nicolas surpassed any expectation I had of the day. Everything I brought the night before (decorations, centerpieces, wine etc) was sent up so my family didn’t have to do anything prior to the party.

We had a baby celebration for my daughter and son-in-law on Sunday. The service, food and attention to detail was outstanding. I went to the restaurant a little earlier to bring the wine, cake, favors and the welcome sign for the easel. The staff took care of everything for me from the time I walked in until the end of the party. Everyone at the party raved about the food and the service. Thank you Nick and staff for your exceptional service. It was truly a beautiful day. I highly recommend Nicola’s for any type of party and also for dinner!

Zucchini flowers were delicious. Marsala sauce was a bit salty. Desserts were fantastic. Service was adequate.

We love this restaurant. Staff is ALWAYS super nice and food is ALWAYS great! I have been to countless parties here and also go there for dinner frequently too! Both are always a fun, delicious time! Bronzino Oreganata and the Mussels are our favorites on the menu. Seafood is always FRESH and DELICIOUS here!

I visited Nicola’s Ristorante for the first time recently. I’ve heard all good things about it but looked forward to trying it myself. I had the veal parmigiana which I usually only eat at home because most restaurants dry it out. Well! Nicola’s came through. It was “The best in the city!” To borrow a famous quote. Veal was so good I annoyed all my friends for a sample of what they were eating. Everything was great. I will return soon. Staff and owners visited the table too. Not only are they very nice but good looking as well.

Good food.. Fried calamari was excellent. The filet was also excellent. We ordered the octopus salad cooked perfectly. The orecchiette with braised shortribs, lemon cake were great. The chocolate lava cake there was no lava inside cake was dry. Service was very slow waiter did not check on our meal at all. However it was a busy Saturday night.
