Nicola Restaurant & Bar

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!

After having been to Nicola many times for good though pricey dinners, we decided to have our anniversary meal there tonight. It was a TERRIBLE dining experience. My veal was cold and my partners chicken was undercooked. After having sent the chicken back, the second piece was also undercooked. When we told this to John, our waiter he just said, “we tried”. He was indifferent to annoyed about our concerns from the moment we sat down. This is our last visit to this restaurant.

The server in the restaurant are nice and the atmosphere was good. However, The dishes at average level, though the plate size was small and very expensive. there are also much better Italian restaurants out there, I’d skip this place FOR SURE.
