A word from Nicola's Ristorante

After ten award-winning years at the Dallas Galleria, Nicola's relocated a few miles north to continue satisfying metroplex appetites for classic Italian Rustica cuisine. Its opulent, theatrical design features a sophisticated bar, romantic, high-backed booths, al fresco dining on the patio,… private dining room for fourteen, and a stunning mezzanine overlooking the main dining area for the best people watching in town. However beautiful the design and décor, Nicola's guests will return again and again for the food.Continued

"Visited for lunch. The food was well prepared as expected. The service was really not good at all.....slow and unattentive.....could never seem to find our waitress. I did let the seating hostess know about our poor service."

"We have been to Nicola's twice (Feb and April 2012) and both times we have had great service, delicious food and a great time. Our first visit they paid special attention to our requests and made us feel very special. Our second visit was the same. The portions are more than plenty. The food arrives at the time it should, and we have enjoyed everything we have had. We are so glad that a friend referred us to this restaurant. We have truly enjoyed it and plan to again."

"We've always found Nicolas's to be wonderful & their special Easter dinner was no exception. We had an outstanding seafood appetizer, a wonderful risotto, leg of lamb with Rosemary potatoes & an incredible strawberry tiramisu. Their regular menu is always agreat as well. I highly recommend their Porco Bucco and any of their homemade pasta dishes."

"We had dinner here for the second time on Monday, this time for a birthday. Everything was very nice, and the food was great both times. They are very accommodating on selecting multiple dishes and sharing among folks at the table."

"Lovely atmosphere, pleasant staff, nice and quiet at our 5:30 reservation. We ordered the focaccia siciliana as an appetizer.It was good but a bit dry and looked rather sparse;bits kept falling off of it because there was nothing to hold it together like a small amount of melted cheese, perhaps.
My favorite salad with pear and gorgonzola was lovely, as it always has been. The entrees came piping hot and mine (gnocchi) was quite good."
