Our waitress Shannon was helpful and knowledgable. Best lasagna in the Columbus area as well as creative and delicious specials.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGirls NightThis was my first time to Nicola and found it to be very pleasing. We had a group of 5 girls to celebrate birthdays. Bar was small, but cozy. Had a great round table tucked away semi-private. The service was outstanding. Thought the appetizers were just okay; however, everyone's meals were great. Reasonably priced on both food and wines. The music was a bit loud and after awhile the Italian based songs grew a bit old. Would go back and would recommend.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food is excellent andThe food is excellent and it is a very nice place to go if you want a quiet dinner.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMNicola's is wonderful. FromNicola's is wonderful. From Spiranza the manager/owner to Nicola the Chef/owner. I have had 10 people to dinner, friend get-togethers, lunch and even closed a huge business deal while eating the spectacular food. There are menu items you want to see at an Italian restaurant and items you won't see outside of Rome Italy. The delicious pasta is made on site and the desserts are gorgeous and light. My favorite is the Diplomatica. Chef Nicola even makes his own Limoncella. Awesome. Try the ravioli made as they do in the Tuscan countryside. Then next time the light and lovely Risotto, any one will surprise and delight. You will be delighted. If you need a place for a big get together they have a room and table for 25 or more that is beautiful.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMWe love this place. AlwaysWe love this place.
