nicola restaurant

Excellent authentic Italian. Family owned good vibe. They grow their own herbs and many vegetables. Veal/Scallopini is awesome. Fairly priced and interesting wines.

Wonderful food, beautiful garden setting, knowledgeable staff. Chef Nicola and wife Esperanza greet you. The patio makes you think you're in Italy. The homemade creamy limoncello is a must and you have to save room for the limoncello cake!!Can't reccomend it enough.

Came here originally on my birthday last year . The food is just amazing. The chef / owner is from Italy and knows how to cook. The homemade pastas were amazing , the staff knew what kind of wine my wife needed , as their wine menu was very overwhelming. Huge wine menu lol . My wife wanted come back on Valentine’s Day weekend on a Saturday , and it was such a lovey experience ..... we started with the fried calamari. It was crunchy and tender. Got a nice $30 of Cabernet and it was smooth. I don’t really drink wine but I was able to drink a whole bottle with wifey . Next we got a shrimp / crab dish and 4 cheese ravioli. Outstanding entrees. Didn’t look like much but we were very stuffed . Last was our lime something cake .... We did come at 8pm so the crowd died down so our service was pretty spot on . Love love love this place !

This is a Hidden Gem of a restaurant that includes some unique items as well as traditional Italian food. The food and service is excellent. They have a small but lovely outdoor patio as well as a indoor separated party room for large groups. You can find their menu online and you will find this restaurant delightful

Thanks for making my anniversary dinner amazing! Food was so real and authentic.

We always bring out-of-town guests here, and you came through again with a lovely dinner for us and a dear friend whom I had not seen in at least 10 years. Loved the chicken special, the delicious wine and the fine dessert (black sambuca). Thanks for a wonderful reunion evening!

Delicious food & drinks. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting. Highly recommend!

Meatballs were why I came in for dinner but the lasagna will bring me back time after time. Lasagna is fabulous. Great wine list with wide selection. Staff is courteous and professional

We have been to Nicola’s several times including popular wine dinners they host. Our most recent visit was with another couple and we all enjoyed our meals. I am gluten free and have no problem finding something on the menu and if I want I ask the waiter to tell the kitchen to prepare a surprise. Awesome option! Top off your meal with a glass of his homemade limoncello.

Cute restaurant! We got our own little corner behind curtain, it was quite perfect for a group of loud kids and adults. Meatballs and the sauces were very good!!! The other entrees portions are all too big. Seafood risotto was not bad, I would prefer the seafood not cooked so much that they were a bit chewy. We all laughed over the one giant piece of ravioli, that was not expected. It smelled really good and was told that it tasted very good too.They have a large menu of wine by glass and by bottle. Cocktail menu was pretty standard. I would prefer here than any other chain restaurant, but there are also much better Italian out there.

Go there now! Great pasta dishes-fresh pasta. Service spot on and food above reproach. Desserts not to be missed. Limoncello creamy and delicious.

I was in Columbus for 4 weeks for work and of course I find this restaurant on my last night in town! If I would’ve known about this place my first week I would’ve eaten here once a week. Service was good. I got the chicken Marsala and substituted Alfredo sauce with pasta instead of the spaghetti and sauce. It was so good along with the bread and oil! I want to go back here if I ever get back to Columbus!

Lovely, quiet little Italian restaurant. Excellent food and service. Patio seating available.

Excellent meal with pasta and soft and melts in your mouth lamb pieces. Bread that was served as appetizer was also warm, soft, and fresh with seasoned olive oil. Finally had the tiramisu for dessert and it was also soaked with just the right amount of espresso and fresh mascarpone cheese was used. Overall great experience.

One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been too! The atmosphere was so cozy and nice. Our server, Igor, was very attentive and did an excellent job of explaining everything that was on the menu. I got the Tuscan Nido, and it was the best pasta dish I have ever had. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the Columbus area looking for a nice dinner.
