I had the ravioli and it was nothing short of delicious. Fun atmosphere, other than it was so HOT! I understand that it's an old building and it is really hot outside. But they made sure that we had plenty of water!

Had a fantastic time spending my 10 year anniversary at Nicolas. Service crushed it, chef was masterful and the atmosphere was icing on the cake. Thanks for the experience! We’ll be back.

Ideal for groups. Plenty of space and a diverse menu.

Beautifully cooked filet, amazing appetizers, and bar staff was incredible!!! Main dish was a little heavy handed on the salt. Otherwise an incredible experience!

Nice place with decent tasting food. Nothing super wow or extraordinary. We started with the octopus, the wagyu beef carpaccio, the baby carrot salad, and the bread basket. All the appetizers were tasty enough. Dinner we ordered the Bolognese pasta which was too sweet for my taste and tasted like canned meat sauce and the red snapper was quite overcooked, however the gnocchi was delicious. Service was just fine, he wasn't friendly or personable but professional enough and all the drinks and food came out in a timely manner. The atmosphere and decor is quite beautiful so overall it was not a bad experience, just nothing to write home about.
Made reservations months ago and it was great! We celebrated our friend’s 12th anniversary with the tasting. Great food and a great experience!

We had an amazing dinner. The food and service was outstanding. The atmosphere was very quaint and not too loud like many restaurants these days. My wife and I celebrated our 19th anniversary shh dinner there tonight. The special printing on the menus and hospitality was amazing.

Nicola’s always wows! Our meal last night was delicious and the service is superior. My favorite Cincinnati restaurant ❤️
Vegetarian options: Delicious pastas and fish if you partake!
Our server was Cindy. She was so great! She had entertaining stories to tell about the owners family and she was very helpful with the menu. If we had a question, she always had an answer ! She coursed out our dinner perfectly even though as the courses came it became more and more difficult to put them down. The tortellini truffle stuff was probably the most tastiest thing I’ve ever had the please of eating. Our dinner was for a special occasion, after the last course I proposed to my future husband and he said YES! Cindy knew ahead of time and she kept the secret safe, after it happened she gave us warm congratulations (as did the other staff) but Cindy also congratulated our engagement with a bottle of NA Champagne…which I didn’t even know existed! It made me happy to toast some bubbly with my future husband even though I’m alcohol free. Thank you Nicolas for helping make mine and my fiancées engagement night so special. You all will forever be a part of an everlasting memory of a night so special to us both. We will definitely be back!

Extraordinary menu to discover and enjoy. Balanced dishes and superb quality raw materials worked to perfection. We will definitely return also because the service is impeccable and the atmosphere welcoming. As a dessert I recommend the cannoli... An amazing pistachio cream!!!

We ate here many times in the past and it was always good. We went back recently for drinks and appetizers and were impressed with the menu changes. We can't wait to return for dinner.
