I have been there twice and today was the first time in 6 years yet the food was delicious. The host was very friendly and very happy to see us when we walked in. After brief conversation you were set at our table it probably greeted by our server and soon we placed our order which arrived rather quickly. The environment is peaceful with soft music playing. It was not very crowded for lunch. I had the soup de fazool and chicken piccata with mixed vegetables and my counterpart had the crab soup and shrimp pasta. We cannot wait to return

Have dined at San Nicola many times and they never disappoint. Food is always very good with nice sized portions. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Enjoy sitting bar area at high tops or at the bar.
One of my favorite places to go for a nice meal.

I've been to San Nicola many times in the last few years and the food is always top of the line. Service is excellent and the ambience is great. This place is becoming my favorite place to go for a nice dinner. The Red Snapper is incredible.

Recently had lunch with four other friends. We each ordered something different and none of us were disappointed. I had the snapper fillet with lobster sauce and it was delicious. Others had salads and chicken parm. The dessert offerings were endless. Try the limoncello/gelato. Even though it was crowded for lunch the service was superb. Definitely a return restaurant!

We are frequent diners at San Nicola and for the most part we enjoy the food and the ambience. Recently, we have noticed a slide in the food and service. We enjoy eating at the bar because we like the bartenders and engaging with the other patrons at the bar. Always an enjoyable evening. This evening we sat at the bar for dinner and one of the waitresses that work at the restaurant came in to dine. She made everyone move down so she and her gentleman friend could be accommodated at the bar. This ended up making all of us squished in to each other. She then proceeded to be loud and obnoxious the entire time. Since she is an employee, she recognized her regular customers but failed to understand we are patrons not her friends. Big difference. Several of us were eye rolling over her loud, inappropriate behavior and commented on how employees really should not be allowed to patronize with clientele. Especially when they are drunk. This waitress completely commandeered the bar area and ruined several diners evening with her loud, uncouth behavior. A reminder to staff - just because regular diners are nice to you does not mean we are your friends and want to see you be unbecoming in public. We were very disappointed that management did not discourage this employee’s behavior. I know if we are there again and see this employee, we will leave at once.
Note to management - please do not allow your drunk employees to frequent your establishment.

Didn’t have dessert but tried 4 dishes and all were excellent. The eggplant appetizer was outstanding. One of the best italian restaurants in the US.

Best Italian food, feel transported to an Mediterranean villa, we like to eat at the bar, we go here 2-3 times a month, outstanding food, service and bartender, so glad to have fantastic meals/takeout at San Nicola over the years, an incredible memorable experience!

Atrium is the place to be seated. Shrimp and scallops a solid good. Penne pasta ok, wish I'd opted for veggies instead. Custard dessert lovely.

The food is mediocre - nothing impressive and nothing awful. Went during lunch time with co-workers and the service was slow. Our server had a difficult time keeping each person's water glass filled, which is one of my pet peeves, since I hate being thirsty while eating my meal, especially as it wasn't busy. The decor was nice - very Italian haha.
