One of the most enjoyable and flavorful meals my family and I have had in a very long time! We were in Cooperstown for the weekend. Were told by the innkeeper how amazing Nicoletta's is. She was right. We went there on a Saturday night. We were greeted and served by Isaiah. Isaiah was a sensational waiter! Great recommendations and amazing service! Our meals were sensational! I had the filet over fettuccini in a blue cheese white sauce. Amazing! Not overbearing with the blue cheese. My wife had spaghetti with the absolutely most amazing, flavorful bolognese sauce. Isaiah said it was just made that day and we could tell. Sooo fresh and tasty! My son had tortellini with sausage. It was wonderful as well! We cannot recommend this place enough!

Walked into the most horrible stench in the restaurant. There was no one at the host stand. No one came out to greet or seat us, so we left after looking at the menu and waiting to be seated. They don't give many options as far as the menu goes. Also, there were tables at the very front of the restaurant as soon as you walked in. I'm not sure why the host stand was placed further back than the seating, so that was awkward.

I was pleasantly surprised!I was not expecting much for Italian food upstate, however…Great prices, Nice menu and the customer service was definitely present. Wait staff was attentive, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the chicken parm and it was on point. Nice menu choices, and I would say I found a little gem tucked away in Cooperstown.

We have dined at this restaurant several times over the years . This past Saturday was the absolute worst .Hostess who seated us came out in sweatshorts and tshirt . Waitress was horrible . Never came back to our table . I did however get to ask for another cup of tea only to find out she took the dish of tea bags off our table . Sooooo I had hot water . My husbands chicken parm sat in a puddle of water . We assumed the pasta wasn’t drained properly. Idk but that will be the last meal we will ever eat there . To bad really because we use to enjoy our dinner .
I got raviolis with eggplant to go. It was amazing!

This restaurant was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. Small, cozy atmosphere. Great selection of Italian dishes. The waitstaff was very informative about the different dishes. Would definitely make a return visit if I ever get back to Cooperstown.

Friendly server. I’m Italian and am critical of Italian food. My husband ordered the lasagna that was better than mine! Which is saying a lot. My muscles were perfect. The house wine wonderful.

Wonderful dinner with friends. Food was excellent and the atmosphere relaxed. Arrived around 5:30 PM on a weekday and did not need a reservation. Bruschetta was excellent as were the large portions of entrees.
