We called up Nicola’s at 645pm on Saturday night with a little desperation because our 6pm reservation at Imperial 46 had no seating in sight. The hostess was very gracious and said we can save you a table that will be ready when you get here. Sure enough, it was and we sat down right away. That was very much appreciated because we had a toddler getting antsy and hungry at hibachi waiting.Bread and bruschetta was out immediately. Fresh and delicious, and got our toddler’s interest. We ordered stuffed zucchini flowers and calamari for appetizers, as well as pasta and mini meatballs for our son. Appetizers were great, and our son loved the pasta and meatballs (can confirm because I split the leftovers with him the next day).I ordered the Chicken Scarpiello and my only complaint is that I didn’t have another piece of bread to completely clean my plate of the sauce, because there was nothing left on it! Absolutely perfection. We’ve been here for various different occasions and this visit solidified its place as a must in our rotation.

Nicola’s food is amazing! Chef Nicola uses the freshest, highest quality ingredients! The staff and service are awesome! They will treat you like family! While you’re there grab a jar of the homemade sauce, and bring a taste home with you!

I stumbled upon this hidden gem and wow what a great discovery. We were very pleased with our dinner choices, but from what I could see everyone in the restaurant enjoyed their meals. The grilled octopus, and shrimp appetizer was incredible and the veal chop was out of this world. I can't wait to go back again but this time I will bring the rest of the family. The owner came out to make sure everything went well and was very personable. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

This restaurant is located in a shopping mall with plenty of parking. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it was very beautiful on the inside. I had the salmon, which was a small portion, and was overcooked. The texture just wasn't right. It was served with about 3 tablespoons of mashed potatoes and soggy, overcooked asparagus. It was also lacking in taste. That was $40. There were four of us. No one at my table was impressed with the food. It was our first time there, and it was packed

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. We celebrated our son’s baptism here and it was incredible. Nick, Carli and all of the staff went above and beyond to ensure the day went smoothly. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is top notch. This will not be our last event here!

Disappointed that they did not honor a gift certification saying it had expired. Generally most places extend a courtesy in such circumstances.Food, service, atmosphere reasonably good, not great.
