Old-school red sauce Italian. The food here ordered by DoorDash so am not familiar with in-store service. The food reminds me of New England which is my favorite style. Haved ordered several times and food is delicious. Seriously delicious.

Upon entering DeNicola's, I was greeted with a nosefull of wonderful garlic bread and was immediately hungry! I tried a side of meatballs, which were delicious, and the marinara was rich and flavorful.I also tried the special, ricotta filled ravioli in a roasted red pepper cream sauce with Italian sausage... I utterly destroyed it, one of the best meals I've had in months ?I can't wait to come back and try the special cheese pizza, it sounds amazing!

A relic of the '70s (as in it seems like a place that's a relic if the 50s that is still kickin in the '70s.) Literal time machine. Pure vibes.

Cute family style restaurant, our waitress was exceptionally nice and the service was great. But the food - we were speechless. This is the best food I’ve had in Portland so far. Everything we ordered was delicious, crab fettuccini alfredo, salmon fettuccini alfredo, and the all star of our meal was the baked tortellini.Amazing, thank you DeNicola’s and can’t wait to be back!

Precisely what you expect. I stick with the spaghetti with meatballs. I always fill up on bread and antipasti and superb minestrone that is classically the scraps of veggies used in other dishes. Then I get second dinner at home with most of my pasta. Great service too.
I go to this place monthly, and every time is a delight! The restaurants atmosphere has a wonderful old-Italian vibe. It is extremely difficult to talk about the food. Every time I go here, I try something new and exiting, and I highly recommend any of the Italian cream sodas they offer. The service is wonderful, with nice employees. My only complaint about the service is the food comes out a little slow, and the waiters come a little too fast, but the place is all around lovely. I highly recommend De Nicolas for your next family outing, date night, or lunch break. Bon appetite!

DeNicola’s is more like an extension of My Family’s own home. The personal warmth that is extended by workers far surpasses any restaurant on this Earth. Nothing compares!!!Parking: The large parking area next to the restaurant provides maximum access for parking for us patrons who know a good thing when Our needs and requirements are met and exceeded in every aspect of services offered every day of the week.Wheelchair accessibility: I’m always impressed with the way and manner in which services are rendered for all possible patrons that a customer can expect to receive from the staff up front to the staff cooks, etc., in the kitchen
