Amazing. The service and atmosphere is just wonderful. If you by chance get Tina as your server, you’ll get the best service of your life. Fast, funny, kind, and predicted our needs before we asked. The food was glorious. Let the pictures do the talking.

As travellers coming from Europe were always surprised by the closing time of the restaurants, and so also this time on a Saturday evening. We arrived past 9pm. Kitchen was still open and we were received with a smile. Food was absolutely delicious! Music perfect and interior design really nice. This is a special one !

We were traveling from Boston back home to Buffalo and we googled recommended restaurants in the Albany area. We were not disappointed. Very friendly and attentive staff. The food was incredible as well. Beautiful ambiance in the gorgeously decorated eating establishment. We will go back again when we are in the area. Accommodated 3 weary travelers with no reservations on this Friday evening. We were lucky. Thank you Nicole’s!

What a gem!!!! Food was fantastic, Emily and Lisa were outstanding! Def need to recommend Lisa and Emily for their attention to detail and helpfulness to staff and customers. Lisa would make an absolute asset of an addition as a manager if the opportunity came about when staff or customers had a question she was on the ball ….both she and Emily ensured our first time at Nicole’s was outstanding!!! There was a wedding on the patio when we arrived and even they raved about the food and customer service given tonight! Kudos to you and your staff we will recommend and be back!

The ambiance is very inviting. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I had the calamari to start. The marinara sauce was to die for!! For my entree I chose the shrimp and scallops scampi. The portion was excellent and the flavor was definitely worth savoring!! I was so impressed I ordered the clams over linguine to take home.. which was excellent, just bursting with flavor. I would highly recommend Nicole’s to anyone who wants authentic Italian food served from a friendly staff and at great prices!!

Nicole’s was a really great experience for my mom and I for an early Mother’s Day dinner. She had a great time, the food and portions were enough for three meals, and our server, Nicole, was stellar.
