" Honestly, Nicola has some big shoes to fill regarding Italian food in my heart. This place came highly recommended, and while the food was good, it didn’t quite blow me away like I was hoping. My pasta was a little undercooked, so I sent it back for a quick fix, but the second time was just as chewy. Service was pleasant and attentive, but I think I’ll try another place next time. Perhaps I had high expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Nicola during the Sunday brunch hour. The food was creative and delicious, and the atmosphere was lively and friendly. It felt supportive of good family time, even if there isn’t a specific kid’s menu. We’ll definitely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely dining experience at Nicola! The ambiance was warm and welcoming, ideal for a romantic evening out. I ordered the pork tenderloin special, and it was cooked to perfection. The service was attentive, making sure we had everything we wanted. A delightful night overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience overall! Every bite was a sensation. The caprese salad was fresh, the gnocchi was divine, and their tiramisu was the best I’ve had. They use top-notch ingredients which reflect in their food. Service was friendly and very attentive—a perfect combination! " (*Curated Review*)

" Easily the best part of my trip to Columbus! It felt like I was back in Italy with every bite. The caprese was fresh, and their pizzas were perfect with a nice, crispy crust. While the service was friendly, they did seem a little stretched thin due to the crowd, but it didn’t take away too much from our experience. Great restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading so many great reviews, my friends and I decided to give Nicola a try. Let's just say we weren't disappointed! The fresh pasta truly sets this place apart. The atmosphere is very inviting, and our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I came here for a casual dinner and ended up having one of the best Italian meals of my life. The homemade ravioli had the perfect texture, and you could really taste the fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is cozy with a lovely garden view that makes you feel transported straight to Italy. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
