Nicola Restaurant & Bar | Italian offers a cozy atmosphere with a somewhat casual elegance, described as nice and dark. The food is authentically Italian, with excellent dishes including the best osso buco, burrata, octopus, ragu, raviolo, special pasta, and tiramisu. The menu has a decent variety of selections. The Mista Salad features a rainbow spring mix with arugula and lettuce, crumbled Gorgonzola and apples with a tangy vinaigrette. A spinach pappardelle pasta special with Sea Scallops, Crab meat and shrimp in a light ricotta/tomato freak sauce was excellent, with homemade pasta and fresh seafood cooked to perfection. The wine list is well curated with emphasis on Italian wines. Service receives mixed reviews; some experiences note excellent service with attentive staff like John, while others found service mediocre due to a busy bartender. The entire restaurant works as a team, and the chef visits the dining room, which is a nice touch. For parties, the restaurant handles reservations smoothly and is great for special events. Highly recommended for Italian food, though some guests noted salads arriving after the meal.
