Nicola's

Hands down the best restaurant in Cincinnati. My husband and I were engaged at Nicola's, spent the evening after our small park wedding at Nicola's, and we spend every anniversary there. They treat everyone with respect and the service can't be matched. We do work parties here, as well as intimate and family dinners. The gnocchi will always be top notch and the desserts are incredible.

Best restaurant in Cincinnati.
This place is just great. It's legit Italian food for a reasonable price - you have to taste the gnocchi! Good wine selection, menu is not overwhelming, and outside sitting is beautiful.

We visited during restaurant week and enjoyed the price fixe menu. Every dish was prepared beautifully and the complexity of flavours was immpecable. The four of us experienced excellent friendly service. It didn't matter what you ordered all dishes were above and beyond the ordinary. No, make that extraordinary. We met Nicola who was generous of spirit and on the way out we chatted with Matthew who personalized our dining experience. Order the bread basket. I have never experienced better. Go here for any occasion. Not just special events. Yes, it is that good!

Wow! Wow! Chef returning to Nicola's is fantastic. The dishes are modern and full of excellent surprises. Formidable wine list of difficult to find Italian gems. Incredible and very knowledgeable service. Nicola's is one of our favorites that we don't often visit. This was another great dining experience with a table in the reserved party room looking down at the fireplace. The meal as usual was very good with service to match. We won't wait so long to return.

Hands down best meal I've eaten. The atmosphere was very romantic. Our server was very knowledgeable and a big help. So hard to choose between the many great selections, but we were able to customize a sampling and try everything we wanted. Sad that we ran out of room for dessert. We will definitely be back.
