nicola restaurant is such a trendy and wonderful place! i have been there numerous times and have never left disappointed! today i had the osso bucco special and i can honestly say i've never quite had anything so spectacular! 5 stars to them, once again! i highly recommend dinner and take a look at their extensive wine list! my last recommendation is the tiramisu, homemade by their daughter! simply amazing!

pleasant, cozy, very good food. my wife and i recently tried nicola once for lunch and once for dinner. we enjoyed it both times. nicely prepared and presented food, good wine (and the waitresses seem to know the wine list), nice atmosphere. the salads are good, the pasta is homemade, the sauces are superb, and the portions were just right. a bit on the expensive side but this is a small, upscale restaurant so it's to be expected. we'll be back.

terrific find. nicola is one of the best restaurants in columbus. i've been going to nicola for about one year now and the food and service are consistently superb. you need not even look at a menu--just tell them what you're in the mood for and chef nicola will prepare it. go there with a few hours to spare and an empty stomach, and be ready to eat excellent food, to drink lots of great wine and to feel like you've boarded a plane to italy for the night. salute!

the frutti di mare was unbelievable. it's not on the menu, but i was there with a friend who knew about it. this version features calamari, clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, and sea bass tossed in a linguine with light tomatoes sauce. sounds good, doesn't it? well, it is. one of the best renditions of this dish i've ever had; it even trumps many of the trattorias sprinkled along the southern california and gulf coasts.
great atmosphere, year long...great authentic tuscan cuisine.... a considerate, extensive wine list with a nice corkage policy...great wait staff....an overall pleasure worth repeating many times....i hope success doesn't spoil this operation...one of the best in the town

first, i must wonder how it took me several years before finding this gem of a restaurant.
we dined here last evening,and from the beginning of dinner to the end was just wonderful. each course was truly outstanding! the service was on point!
can't wait to share this gem with friends who are looking for farm to table and ingredients of the highest quality!
can't wait to go back very soon!

special occasions. we love this restaurant for special occasions but we were just thrilled with our recent special new years eve dinner here.we had special family and friends from out of town that we brought with us(it was a birthday celebration also) and our food ,service,and general ambiance was even more than outstanding this time.while the menu for special holidays is not the full menu offering the selection was excellent and everyone had lots to choose from-you could do the traditional italian lasagna(lovely and plentiful)or order steak, seafood, veal, etc...we were so pleased that we chose this lovely restaurant for this special holiday!

fabulous. the staff is outstanding-- if you have ever lived in italy, this comes close. you book a table for 6:30 and it is yours for the night. we were still there at 10:45 and did not feel pressured to leave. the menu selections are extensive. i had sword fish special in putanesca sauce with handmade fish ravioli and broccoli rabe. excellent! but the best part of my meal was the mussels appetizer. i lived in italy for 3 years and ate hundreds of bowls of mussels. these were as good if not better -- the sauce was perfect. the mussels were served with crostini, which i tried to use to sop up the sauce. when this was not successful i reached for the bread basket to use the fresh bread to do the same thing. fabulous! we will return again and again.

don't come here. i had to sign up for urbanspoon and waste time posting a review, that's how bad this place was. we were just there for a new year's eve dinner (a party of 6) and quickly learned it is not the place to go for new year's eve and we won't be back to try during a different day, as the owner suggested.

the server showed up in a decent amount of time, and we didn't have to wait too long for our drinks, but it was downhill after that. the waiter had to be reminded two times to bring out bread, and about 40 minutes later, we finally got bread after our salads!

once our dinner arrived over an hour later, a member of our party was informed that they were out of chicken and the waiter offered their basic pasta dish which could be out in 2 minutes. we all ended up having the pasta dish that we waited over an hour for, but magically, hers was able to come out within two minutes.

my fiance's pasta and mine was cold and we got half the portion that someone else in our party got. when we asked to speak to the manager, the owner's wife came out visibly irritated that we weren't happy and at first could only say "well, what do you want me to say to you? if you don't like it, then don't pay for it... fine then don't pay for it!" arguing with us while leaning over the table when she should have been apologizing and making things right.

won't be back, once it starts going downhill, it gets really bad. we could have microwaved a similar dish and not have to argue with someone for it.

interesting twist, one of our fellow diners was basically threatened when he wrote a review on yelp (you should check it out before eating here). he was contacted by the waiter and told to 'f off' among other things, and when he went back to the restaurant, was called a scam artist and told all of our credit cards would be fully charged (the owner took 50% off our bill). awful, awful place.

25 minutes before server took our drink order. nothing special about the food.
i would expect this if i paid 1/3 of the price.
