" We decided to celebrate our anniversary at Nicola's after hearing so many wonderful things. The atmosphere was lovely, perfect for a romantic dinner. The service was impeccable, very attentive without being overbearing. I had the ravioli and my partner tried the lasagna; both were spectacular! The flavors just popped, so fresh and authentic! It was a truly wonderful evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my sister's engagement here last month and I must say, the food was lovely! I had the special pappardelle and it was delightful. Service was attentive and the restaurant wasn't too loud, making it a pleasant experience. Definitely a place I would recommend for significant celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Nicola's based on the reviews, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The decor felt a bit outdated, and while the food was decent, it was nothing that blew my mind. For the quality, I found the prices a little steep. I might give it another try in the future, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Just wow! This place knocked my socks off! I had the ravioli and it was the best I've ever eaten. Also, the bread they serve with olive oil is heavenly. The atmosphere was nice, great for a cozy dinner out. Our server was attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" We just tried Nicola's for the first time last week. It was a joyous experience! The cocktails to start were fantastic, and the food was even better. I especially liked the butternut squash ravioli; it had such a unique taste. Service was excellent and felt personalized. Highly recommend to anyone looking for genuine Italian! " (*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*)
