This is a wonderful Italian restaurant. Beautiful main dining room. Wonderful food with attention to seasonal ingredients. Current Tuscan salad with fresh favs beans is an example. Just warm and welcoming with no loud music! A wonderful experience!

My wife and I got the tasting menu, I got the wine pairing and it was one of, if not the best dinner, we’ve had in Cincinnati. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Our server Andrew gave in depth descriptions of the courses and wine pairings and it was a really good experience. We will be back to try more of the menu.

Nicolas has been one of our favorite fine dining restaurant since it opened 30 years ago. The cuisine is always amazing and very creative. Service is consistency perfect and attentive in every respect. The wine selection is superb and offers selections in every price range, with a large selection of Italian wines. I had their Lamb Wellington done in a favorite Italian recipe. My wife had the Duck breast. Both were impeccably delicious. We recommend Nicolas to all, you will never be disappointed!!!

We had a lovely dinner at Nichola’s this past weekend! The overall atmosphere was very pleasant and our table for 6 worked great for conversation and to celebrate three birthdays. Our server was clearly experienced and took such good care of us! He had read ahead of time the comments we provided on Open Table and did an excellent job with suggestions for food and drink selections. The food was delicious and the desserts were yummy. We always look forward to our dinners at Nichola’s and this evening did not disappoint!

As always, we had a wonderful experience at Nichola's. We left the Cincinnati area almost 4 years ago so we hadn't visited there in a while. Hannah's team provided great service from beginning to end. Starting with baked oysters, mussels, and mushroom soup, everything was exquisite .Two of us had the rabbit and two of us had the scallops. Both were wonderful. As was dessert. We will miss the patio space when they move next year, but we will certainly be back for a great dining experience.

As always Nicolas does an incredible job from the moment the greet you, to the extra details like a personally printed birthday menu. All of the service staff that helped with our table were friendly and on top of every request. It is my husband’s favorite restaurant so we celebrated there. I have to say their version of a cosmopolitan is so special you need to order one of the table just for the show! The bread basket is something you can not miss either, absolutely the best one in town. This time we shared the house salad, the gnocchi (which are truly little pillows of love), and the bolognese (the best in town), finishing with the tiramisu! Their version is rich and silky, the perfect finish to a meal.

Hi, Ann! Thank you so much for your kind words and for celebrating such a special occasion with us! We’re honored to be your husband’s favorite restaurant and truly touched by your thoughtful feedback. It’s wonderful to hear that our team helped make your evening memorable—from the personalized birthday menu to attentive service throughout your meal. We're thrilled you enjoyed the cosmopolitan experience (always a fun moment!) and that our bread basket, gnocchi, and bolognese lived up to your expectations. And we agree—the tiramisu is the perfect sweet ending. We’re grateful for your continued support and can’t wait to welcome you back for more celebrations and unforgettable meals!
