Nicola Restaurant & Bar

A group of four. A beautiful night which helped the overall experience. Service was good and thankfully not over eager. Food was so, so for 3 of us. The spaghetti dish with calamari and “claims” (misspelled on the menu) was awful. $60/person with a 18% tip. Had plans to go back with a group of 11 the following Saturday, but determined it wasn’t worth it. By the way, I don’t do critiques very often, so don’t think this is just some grumpy old guy letting some steam out. Frankly, I’m a tad worried about the clams and thought I would save others the potential misfortune I may have yet to experience.

This was our anniversary and we wanted to celebrate with fine tasting Italian food. This was it! Outside on their patio, sipping a tasty, tart cocktail and a nice Barbera red. We love caprese and adding basil pesto is a keeper. The Tuscan Nido was perfect-handmade and hands down the largest ravioli-the added surprise of an egg yolk hidden inside was genius! The Filetto Di Maiale(pork tenderloin) was perfectly cooked and the flavor was mouth watering, even as I ate it! We wrapped it up with their lemon cake. Oh, man, so light and lemony. We took smaller and smaller bites so it would last longer. Give them a go, we’ll certainly be back!

I don't post or write reviews but let me tell you something…..I had dinner here earlier today with a party from work and I enjoyed it so much I couldn’t resist not to write a review! We had the Seafood Spaghetti with the clams and it was absolutely delicious! I have eaten all around the world and this top of the top! Cheers to the homemade limoncello we had to top of a great night! ????
