This place is one of my favorite Italian places so far. We just decided to go out, typed in Italian and this was the one at the top of the list and I'm so glad we went. The bruschetta.....so good! It does have the pesto on it so if you have a nut allergy be careful but it is a must try for an appetizer. I got the spicy chicken risotto and it had so much flavor and it was a good size portion I couldn't eat it all. They even have a dessert menu! Excellent atmosphere, it was a bit loud but people of all ages were enjoying their time so it was to be expected. Our waitress was really friendly and made sure we were taken care of. We didn't feel rushed or anything and really can't wait to go back and try something else!
It was a nice date night away from everyone. We visited on a Friday evening. It was a quick seating. The restaurant is very pleasantly spacious. It was not very loud either which was a surprise too. Our server was very friendly and kind. Katherine I believe was her name. She was wonderful!
The food was delicious and yes very fresh! We will most definitely be going back. 😊👍❤️
Menu had some good selections, but overall, it seemed sorta limited (no chicken alfredo with fettuccine, for example). Pricing a little higher than similar establishments. The atmosphere was sorta weird with the seating and lighting and left us wondering if we were in the right place.
The complimentary bread with oil was good. The mozzarella sticks and garlic knots appetizers were delicious and better than many places I've ordered them from. Service was great, and we were well taken care of during our visit. The meals we ordered were delicious as well.
There are too many other italian restaurants in the area that I'd try before returning. This place was decent but not that memorable to go out of my way to return. If you're looking for an Olive Garden type of restaurant this is NOT it.
With that being said...try this place yourself and see what you think.
Absolutely delicious! Food... Wine... We celebrated a friend's birthday and our server and her team made it perfect for us🥳🎉 that profiterol was exquisite. Thank you and I'll be back next time with my family ☺️
My all time favorite Italian restaurant. I love this place. Best food and service. I have never been disappointed in any way. The best food and dessert you can get. The reason it opens at 5 because they spend all day preparing for dinnjer.
We had a large group of men out for our monthly neighborhood guys night out Thursday and everyone loved their food. Service was better than excellent and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better all around experience. I had the Pappardelle and it was absolutely fabulous. 5 stars. Highly recommend.
Brought my dad to, Nicola's last night for his birthday. Excellent food with matching service. Portions so large we were able to take some home with us to experience it all again the next day. The wonderful waitress brought out a cream puff dessert as a surprise for my fathers birthday as well. Best resturaunt in town!
Looking for the most delicious Italian cuisine with outstanding service? Visit Nicola’s on Oleander Dr. We went for the first time last night. The food from start to finish was superb. We had bruschetta for an appetizer which was the best I’ve ever eaten. Everyone’s entrees were delicious. They make their pasta in house! We enjoyed cannolis for dessert, which were the perfect end to the best meal we’ve eaten in a very long time! Our server, Sara was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and nice. This was our first visit, but will now be our favorite date night restaurant. Our only regret, not visiting sooner.
Authentic Italian cuisine in a small, somewhat austere space with great service. Homemade pasta is the difference. Nothing fancy but it doesn't need to be. Recommended.
BLOWN AWAY - the variety of entrée choices & specials was diverse and spectacular!
The service was impeccable and the portion sizes reasonable.
It’s obvious that their pasta is house-made and delicious and that they care about every plate that leaves the kitchen. My husband and I shared 2 orders of roasted garlic bulbs ($5/ea) and they were fabulous!!
I thoroughly enjoyed my entrée of (house made) linguine with white clam sauce and chocolate bread pudding with fresh whipped cream for dessert.
Nicola’s is on the pricier end, but in this case, you get what you pay for… great service and excellent food!
Can’t wait to go back!
sidenote: we showed up around 6:30p on a Friday night with no reservation and no available seating at the bar but were still seated within 15 min of arrival.
These employees know how to hustle, and how to work together to satisfy their customers!
Bravo !
