" Absolutely wonderful experience. The only downside was a fairly long wait for a table, but the food and ambiance made up for it. My chicken parm was beautifully presented and tasted heavenly. The wait staff was courteous and attentive without being overwhelming. It's safe to say, I'll be back to this fantastic restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Have you ever eaten something so good that it brings a tear to your eye? That’s how I felt after finishing my meal at Nicola’s! Each dish was a masterpiece, especially the baked ziti. I also appreciated the ambiance which was perfect for a family gathering. The service was unmatched, friendly and efficient. I’m already plotting my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Nicola's was good, but something didn’t feel right. The food was fine but not exceptional, and the service a bit slow. I wouldn't say I disliked it, but it just wasn’t memorable enough to spark my interest in returning soon. Maybe just an off night? " (*Curated Review*)

" We have been going to Nicola's for years now, and the food just keeps getting better! My personal favorite is the spaghetti carbonara; it’s rich and creamy with just the right amount of pancetta. The restaurant ambiance is perfect for both family dinners and romantic evenings. They’ve really nailed the Italian dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was nice, but the wait for a table was pretty annoying. I was expecting more from the lasagna, given its reputation; it was just okay for my taste. Service was also kind of slow. I'm pretty sure they were short-staffed the night we went. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, this place is a hit or a miss. My last visit was a huge letdown. The pasta was overcooked, and the wine choices were limited for my taste. I mentioned my concerns to the waitress, and she did help out by recommending a different dish, which was slightly better. I just feel that for the price point, I expect a little more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Nicola's is a treat! I love how cozy and welcoming the environment is. The homemade pasta options are just spectacular! I enjoyed the spicy arrabbiata pasta, which had a nice kick to it. Can't wait for my next encounter. " (*Curated Review*)
