Nicola's - Totowa

We really loved it. Very friendly family feel. All service staff were cheerful, friendly and efficient. Out of a large group only one didn't like the food. I loved it. BYOB.

Went there with some friends for dinner got seated as soon as we arrived. This Resturant is byob so bring your bottles of wine. For appetizers we got the Thai calamari and the shrimp they were both good. For the main I got the linguine with the seafood in marinara sauce the seafood was good the sauce was okay. My friend got the vodka sauce and they absolutely loved it. For dessert I had the cheesecake and my friends had the cookie they both were amazing. Only thing I would add if your going with a larger party they automatically take 22 percent tip also they take 3 percent for credit card so your pretty much paying 25 percent in tip and fees which is very high. Overall place was great

I visited Nicola’s Ristorante for the first time recently. I’ve heard all good things about it but looked forward to trying it myself. I had the veal parmigiana which I usually only eat at home because most restaurants dry it out. Well! Nicola’s came through. It was “The best in the city!” To borrow a famous quote. Veal was so good I annoyed all my friends for a sample of what they were eating. Everything was great. I will return soon. Staff and owners visited the table too. Not only are they very nice but good looking as well.

Do yourself a favor and go have yourself a delicious authentic Italian dinner. All the people whining and complaining about waiting 15 minutes to be seated after their reservation need to stay home next time. A wait at a restaurant means they have to be doing something right. Food always comes out hot and portions are plentiful. Staff is attentive even during the peak dining times.

Fantastic meal and certainly one of the best Lobster Pasta dishes I’ve had. The fish was perfectly cooked, with cream sauce not being too heavy. We started with hot antipasto and opened up a great bottle of wine (BYOB). The service was impeccable and the restaurant packed—for good reason—this is a great restaurant.
