Reviews
Such a nice place. Love the patio. The service is great and everyone working here is so friendly. The food….oh so so good. Raviolis are so well made and delicious. The pasta amazing. And the sauces, I’m obsessed with, I wanted to lick my plate😂. Good selection of wine and drinks. The cocktail menu is very fun and authentic. Worth a stop, great for a date night. Bruschetta is very delicious, great addition to any meal.
Amazing food. Best chicken Alfredo I’ve ever had.bruschetta was sooooo good. Great service. I love the family feel. Me and husband will definitely be back with a reservation this time!
Went to dinner with a friend, this is one of her favorite places to dine. The establishment offers inside and patio dining. We opted to eat outside as it was a beautiful day. We had wine and brushetta to start. I ate Chicken Marsala, which was delicious. The sauce was amazing. My friend had a dish with olives, dried tomatoes, and lightly seasoned spaghetti noodles. Overall a great experience.
I have gone to Nicola’s every week for the past two years. The food is consistently amazing! I have never had anything on the menu that I didn’t love. Best Italian in Omaha!
We enjoyed our quite Tuesday evening dinner. Despite it being Tuesday Nicolas was still pleasantly busy. This is a small family owned business, so there was a smaller staff. The food was delicious and freshly made with delicious ingredients. It was a little more pricy that I had originally thought, but the freshness of the ingredients and dish was worth the little extra cost. The tiramisu, like everything else, is homemade with a lovely spong cake instead of lady fingers.
Went with a big group everyone's good was amazing. I had the pasta special... It was really great. Another favorite dish was the chicken masala.
A wonderful "scratch kitchen" meal. A group loved the red and white sauces. But for me, the meatballs are the game changer! They are the best! Hopefully, you can save room for a dessert. We had the tiramisu and the Italian lemon cake. Both were delicious. We will be back to try the cheesecake and chocolate torte.
Pro tip: Make sure you get reservations for this place on the weekend because it gets packed very very quickly.
This restaurant makes everything from scratch, so be prepared for a wait. The food when you do get it is great quality.
Pro tip 2: sitting at the bar has its advantages, the owners work the restaurant and Nikola is exceptionally friendly. You get more of an experience if you get the chance to speak with her.
Lemon cream al salmon Fettuccini 4 stars
The Fettuccine was delicious, but the salmon was over cooked for me. My friend prefers the salmon overcooked like that though, so depending on your preference, this might be a five-star item.
Lasagne Mediterranean 4 stars
This was a very solid lasagna entree
Spaghetti aglio plus olio 5 stars
Nicola recommended we get it with the blue cheese and it absolutely enhanced the dish for me.
All the meals come with bruschetta and salad. The bruschetta can be a skip. The pieces we had were kind of plain tasting. It's supposed to be fresh but it did feel like it might have been sitting for a bit. The salad was a very nice simple salad which we really enjoyed.
