We had an incredible experience at Nicola’s. The food was spectacular, but the service is what put our evening over the top. Ben took care of us last night and just when I thought amazing service at restaurants was a thing of the past, Ben proved me wrong. He clearly loves what he does and we appreciated his care and attention to detail and knowledge of all things Nicola’s. Plus he is a Sommelier so there is that too. My husband and I are vegan and we had no problem finding a couple of delicious entrees. We actually had to implement a dietary cheat day because the desserts were too tempting. Our friend had the ravioli! Fava bean salad- Amazing. Don’t skip the bread service.

We enjoyed another delightful dinner at Nicola’s. We ordered fun cocktails, the goat cheese salads, the classic duck breast and bolognese from the Prix Fix menu because we had tickets to the theatre and we didn’t want any delays.The service was excellent and they met expectations as they always do. My guest from Boston was duly impressed, in particular with the attentive service. Even the manager stopped by to visit. TY.

Mary, our waitress, was superb. The Monday pasta bolognese special is an unbeatable value-a generous serving of pasta with choice of Ceasar or Boucheron goat cheese salad. The boucheron salad was a delight for the tastebuds. Nicola’s bread basket is unsurpassed and a must have. We ended dinner with the Chocolate Complexity dessert. An innovative and beautiful creation to please all chocoholics served on a unique folded plate. Nicola’s never disappoints.

Hi, Judy! Thank you for the glowing review! We're so happy to hear that Mary took such great care of you and that you enjoyed the Monday pasta bolognese special—it's definitely a guest favorite. We're especially glad you loved the boucheron salad and the chocolate complexity dessert (and yes, that plate always gets attention!). Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’re honored to be a place you can count on. We look forward to your next visit!
