awesome italian dinner. i was at nicola tonight for dinner and had an exceptional grilled trout stuffed with fresh herbs. perfectly cooked. great wine (prosecco), very good service. the restaurant was packed, yet each dish came out on time and just right. i almost always have pasta or risotto at nicola because it is homemade (just like i remember from italy). this was my first time for the trout dish. excellent.
great friendly atmosphere andfoodthat always transports me back to italy just as i remember it.

authentic italian. i had the pasta with duck on my first visit, and risotto on the second, while my date had pasta with bolognese sauce. both dishes were exactly as i remember them from italy. the dining room has a great, warm feel. the place is well managed and thefoodhas been excellent both times.
i travel in italy for several weeks out of each year, and i am always thrilled to find a restaurant that cooks in the true italian style. right now, this is the one. handmade pasta, real bolognese sauce, perfect risotto with a glass of great dolcetto.
