What an amazing Upper East Side Italian restaurant Nicola’s is. This establishment has been open for decades, and I see why. The whole experience from the food to the service to the atmosphere was amazing!

Nicola’s is close to Guggenheim museum that’s that’s the reason I discovered the place. It’s very cozy, beautiful and comfortable place where you can really feel that you are in the middle of Italy. Beside the fact that food we ordered was very delicious and fresh it was little overpriced

I hate to say this but I had an unpleasant experience here. I stopped by for a glass of wine at the bar and to get an idea of the place and the bartender acted like I was not welcome. I asked 2 times for the wine list and both times he refused to give it to me saying “by the bottle only”. Needless to say I can’t take my (significant) business there after that experience.

Food was good and the service was excellent. Comfortable seating, not cramped. Great place for a family celebration. Prices were reasonable and staff were accommodating and the owner overseeing the service to insure our needs were met

Personal favorite. The maitre’d greets all with excellent service and attention. The bar is cozy and worthy of a drink in of itself. The dining room is sprawling with table cloth and some of new york’s elite. Mostly salt and pepper hair w families. Nice date spot and exquisite food. ✔️

DO NOT COME HERE!!! They forced us to get a bottle of water then when one waiter finally gave us tap another took it away and brought a bottle only to charge us … $15. Then the waiter accused me of lying when I asked why this was done. They also charged us $36 dollars for 2 shots of bad limoncello. The food was decent but we asked to split to items and they clearly wanted to make up the $ from our bar tab. Completely unacceptable and even got hostile when we questioned the bill.

BUYER BEWARE! Had a decent meal at Nicola’s. Veal parm is very good, pastas are OK. Problem is the dishonesty. Ordered 4 drinks with dinner. When the bill came I was shocked at the price (all well drinks, no high-end stuff). I’m a lifelong NY’er and am used to paying big $ for alcohol. I asked to see a cocktail menu to see if we were charged the correct amount and the waiter said “is there a problem?” which was an odd response to my request to start. At any rate, he informed me that “there is no cocktail menu.” To add insult to the situation, the checks are hand written so there is no automated print out of the drink prices – seems a bit too convenient. I then approached the manager to ask how much each drink should have been but as soon as I approached the manager, the waiter ran over and cut in and answered for the manager (of course having knowledge of how much he arbitrarily charged us). The manager then turned his back and walked away, literally! Just feels dirty. We won’t be coming back but a word to other patrons: don’t be shy to ask up-front how much you are going to be charged!

Wonderful Old School Italian-American fine dining, white tablecloth, professional wait staff restaurant serving the food that made Italian cuisine so popular in the US.
