Has been our favorite restaurant for quite a few years. I LOVE their Veal Chop (I've had close to 100 over the years!!) and if i stray and go to pasta, the Wild Mushroom Ravioli has one of the best sauces you'll ever taste. My friend loves the Lasagna, various Chicken dishes and this time, she said the Orechiette alla Maria was so delicious! We've been starting with the Hot Antipasto for Two to get a taste of varied favorites (but they let us substitute NO mussels for extra clams). The Caesar Salad is always crisp and tasty. The service is outstanding and friendly with ample busboys delivering the extras and cleaning the table. We should also mention the super-friendly hostesses who start your meal off with a very positive note. Thank you all for an all-around enjoyable evening time and time again!

I hosted my husband’s surprise 40th birthday here and everyone was INCREDIBLE with helping me pull off the best surprise. The staff is amazing and easy to communicate with. The food is AMAZING. The restaurant is clean. Everyone is so accommodating. Because this party was such a success, we just hosted our daughter’s baptism at Nicola’s and again it was nothing short of perfect. Everyone was so attentive to us, the food was delicious. They even set my dessert table for me so I wouldn’t have to worry about rushing after the ceremony. I can’t wait to host another party here!
Everything was AMAZING! The food, atmosphere, ambiance, service & staff was outstanding! They made our Wedding Day more Special than we could have ever imagined! They made us feel like family & our guests were treated in the same manner! Ten days later & everyone of our guests are still raving about the wedding! If you’re searching for a venue to host your wedding or any other event, we highly recommend Nicola’s! We promise you will not be disappointed♥️

Haven't been there in about 9 months. Three of us ordered chicken. Savoy, Francese and with Shrimp. I had so many fatty pieces and it was chewy. I said something to my friends and they also said theirs were the same. Waiter never checked on us to see how our food was. I had to flag someone down for more water. There was a party in the back and the place was super loud. Could not have a conversation with my friends at our table without screaming to them. Not sure what's happened to this place. I have been here several times and had great experiences. Unfortunately not this Friday night. Wont be back and will not recommend to anyone.

Surprisingly, great food, but I’ve said it once & I’ll say it again some of the best food in New Jersey comes out of a strip mall!
Attended My beautiful cousins baby shower and the food was just delicious! Eggplant rollintini was my favorite. And the salmon, oregano, for dinner was absolutely scrumptious

Celebrating both of my parents turning 80 with our family at Nicola’s last Saturday night was a night to remember! Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the service was incredible as well. Everyone from the busboys, to our wonderful waiter, Nick, to the amazing hostess, Samantha. Very friendly and professional staff and great atmosphere.
My parents still cannot stop talking about the food, Nick “the awesome waiter” and what a wonderful time they had with their kids and grandchildren. Highly recommend. Some of the best Italian food we have ever had!
