Nicolas - Springfield

Absolutely insanely good! The prices are high, but you get what you pay for: the portions are good, and the flavors are like a symphony in your mouth. The staff is all very friendly, and they did a good job spoiling us!

12/21/23. Our first time here. Food and service were very good. Would return

Went here on 12/23/23. We got there right as they opened. Food was good, but expensive.

Not an expansive menu, but what they do have on there they do very well. Update 12/23: Nicola's Ristorante in Springfield, Missouri, stole my heart with its delightful blend of culinary flair and warm ambiance! The menu: Nicola's is a symphony of Italian flavors, from melt-in-your-mouth pastas like the Penne Alla Vodka to heartier delights like the duck and pork shank. Every dish is a celebration of fresh, seasonal ingredients, and the portions are generous enough to share (or not, I won't judge! . The service: The staff at Nicola's is as warm and inviting as the atmosphere itself. They're attentive without being intrusive, and their passion for the food shines through in every recommendation. I felt like a valued guest, not just a customer. The atmosphere: Nicola's has a certain je ne sais quoi that makes you feel like you've stepped into a charming trattoria in Tuscany. The soft lighting, the comfy booths, and the gentle hum of conversation create a space that's perfect for a romantic evening or a lively gathering with friends. Nicola's Ristorante has earned a top spot on my list of Springfield favorites. It's a place where good food and good company come together to create an unforgettable dining experience. P.S. Don't forget to save room for the homemade tiramisu – it's pure heaven!

I had the bruschetta and meatball appetizer, seafood ravioli, and tiramisu. The ravioli was one of the recommended specials, I just felt it had a little too much salt and needed more acidity. The tiramisu was more of a berry than a coffee liqueur dessert. I appreciated it all, just had different expectations. The server was lovely in her customer service!
