Had to try this highly touted pizza, and brought a friend. The Neopolitan style pie was exceptional - the crust was light and crisp, but far too little sauce and toppings. Calamari was crisp and the sauce was lemon deliciousness!!! Shrimp in white wine sauce was okay, skimpy on shrimp for the price. Bread sticks were so tender and flavourful, I stopped eating my dinner so I can have more bread! Will return for some delicious looking salads.
I loovvveee nicolino’s. We usually go twice a month
There serrento salad is the best! And the bread that comes with the meal is always warm, fresh from the oven.
Staff is always super friendly
Me and my friend tried this place last Friday night for dinner. We were greeted and seated right away at the lounge as we requested. To start, our server served us a warm fresh bread with butter. I ordered the Fettuccine Chili Cream prawns with cashews, grape tomatoes, in a spicy chili cream sauce and tossed salad as side. Love the pasta made from scratch but the sauce was not as good I thought it would be. The sauce tasted like curry without any hint of spice. My friend ordered the Chevre Salad with mixed greens, fennel, red onion,strawberries, pecans and requested to add prawns as protein. It came also in a crostini with goat cheese as side. Our server was very nice and fast but messed up and added chicken instead of the prawns- no big deal and my friend just let it go. Nice selection of wines. Overall we did enjoy the night. Probably will be back to try their thin crust pizza..but won't rush.

A friend and myself ended up here for a late dinner after an evening of shopping in the area. The lounge was packed with live jazz. Sounded fantastic but we had to sit in the restaurant which was pretty quiet.
We couldn't resist the fact that all their pasta is fresh and homemade so I ordered the pasta Reginette which is wild boar in a tomato sauce and comes with a side salad. My friend ordered the carbonara with a small Sorrento salad. Bread was great that they bring to the table and the salads were both great. Pasta was a bit lacking though. Carbonara was very greasy and tasted like the pan it was cooked in with a mineral iron taste and a bit of a smaller plate. Reginette was more like a vodka sauce and found it sweet which I'm not much of a sweet food kind of person. I wasn't too sure if it was actual wild boar or beef as I've had boar in the past. Huge serving though . Perhaps its because we were there later on in the evening. The beautiful server was attentive and charming, we quite liked her. I found the price to be a tad bit too much as $50 each for a glass of wine and bowl of pasta was just a tad over. Probably come back and try some other things though. Appetizers wine and a little jazz would be nice.
The Swizzle Styx dined here last week and it was perfection! We ate in the private room and simply requested the chef to cook for us so I’m not sure if what we ate were even menu items. Our service was excellent and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

My best friend I visited here for 1st time last night after finding it on google and wanted to try it for ourselves. It was a packed house and the management were very accommodating and wait times weren't long in our standards and got to have a drink for waiting at the bar top. The bartender was friendly and courteous and he made a great sangria!We each had two pasta dishes my the Asiago and hers the fettuccini with mushroom etc. Our waiter's name was Ken and he was so amazing, polite and great representation for the restaurant. My friend and I say this is going to become a more frequent place we visit. Ken was so attentive to us whether refilling drinks or bringing bread etc. Even his articulation of depicting the menu for us and explaining the meals was superb! Probably best waiter I have had to date at a restaurant. Presentation of food was A++ and the ambiance of the room was fantastic. The food tasted perfect and portion size was great we each took home leftovers! We love to visit new places to find those gems in our city and this place is definitely now going to be one of our groups of friends spots we choose. From us walking in the door to walking out all staff so nice and attentive to their clients, quality of meals were A++. We felt so appreciated while there and we were WOWed to say the least! Keep up the great work to everyone there! I get some people have one off experiences at places but this place is fantastic and I never write reviews on places but this place needed a 5++!!! Definitely recommend to everyone!!!

Gotta love a place the serves fresh made bread to start. The beginning didn't start out super well with it taking a little while for anyone to acknowledge us. The following service was pretty good the only stores was really friendly. The food was excellent well prepared with generous portions. The only let down was the chicken parm it was just okay.
We came here Saturday evening for a birthday party. The service was good. I was also very impressed that the carried non alcoholic beer. The Cesar salad was very good, the fresh bread was awesome and I had the spaghetti and meatballs and it was very good. My wife had the chicken Parmesan and she said it was ok. Cool atmosphere too, I also like that they played punk music in the back ground.
I went for dinner. I had the veal balls for an appetizer. Very good and very moist with a wonderful tomato based sauce. It came with with a crusted baquette drizzeled in olive oil. Very generous portion to boot. I also had the chili prawns. The noodles were nicely done (not over cooked) with a sauce that had a little kick. The meal came with fresh bread knots and a salad. The prices were reasonable and the waiter was attentive without being annoying. He made a point of coming and discussing my meal. I had a very enjoyable time and I will be going back!
I went for a late dinner there tonight and it was very good. But the service was fantastic. I sad on the lounge side and our server was incredibly charismatic and sold the featured cocktail (which was amazing) very well. The male server made the visit very enjoyable and when a larger group came in he greeted the group with the warmest of welcomes. Being a server as well I can really appreciate that he understood the customer and genuinely wanted to make their stay a good one. Thank you to whoever you are!
Came here for a anniversary dinner for my in laws. We made reservations although we really didn't have to considering it was pretty empty when we got there.
The bread they brought before dinner was soooo good! And we got the calamari appetizer which was really good as well.
The food did take a bit to come but I guess that's because they make from scratch. So I didn't mind. And since they serve bread we weren't starving.
Service was good. Not amazing but I was happy with what we got.
All in all I would probably go back again.

Was on that end of the city so I read some reviews on the restaurant, reviews kept popping up about these amazing bread sticks; and I just was so hoping for some homemade bread or something close there too. It was a nice atmosphere to walk into I felt I could have been in Italy right down to soccer on the television. Service was good I wouldn't say overly friendly though and I could hear her have the same conversation at her other two tables we all have our good and bad days in the service industry and perhaps I caught her on a down day. Bread sticks were amazing however I would say there were more of a bun very fluffy and light! I ordered the chèvre salad it was good I wouldn't say great I had ordered shrimp to go with it which I found them very rubbery but they were flavourful. I was hoping it would have been a little more special the experience however if you are in the area and want great bread then that's the place to go. I don't think I would return though but only cause there was not a big enough wow factor!
Have been several times. The bread sticks are excellent and the salads are good, they are simple and fresh. I really like the gnocchi with tomato sauce.
We have been 3 times now. Each time both food and service were great. They have an oyster special on Thursdays. Only $1 each. Fresh and delicious. Only draw back is they are VERY limited on sauces for the oysters. First time no sauce was available and yesterday only a watermelon minognette was available. Given that. ..we will be back.
What a great date night place. Food was so good!! Not a single complaint. Can't wait to go back!
Gluten Free Chicken Fingers!. I've gone to Nicolino's in the past, but today I went with a friend to use a gift certificate. I'm gluten intolerant so had resigned myself to a salad even though I didn't feel one. Then the lovely waitress informed me their chicken fingers were gluten free... wait, what? When I got them the crust was lovely and crunchy. Delicious with a side of honey dill sauce and homecut fries. I will go again and I will highly recommend! They also said they had gluten free pizza dough.
The food was good. We came back especially for the espresso it is fantastic. We were in Rome and s throughout Italy maybe we were used to the prices and the amount if food We came back for the Baccala it was GREAT but for the amount you get vs the price it's a tad small also love it without the sauce just lemon so the sauce could be on the side In case you do not like it or if it is not needed. The arancini is very very good but the smallest I have ever seen I would rather have two LARGE than 5 tiny tiny. Perhaps we wee spoiled in Italy but I would have come back every week for a bit more
A great spot to dine!. Great salads and some amazing specials (the curry salmon sandwich should be added to your regular menu, Nicolino's - it was absolutely fantastic!!). Very attentive service on every visit and a nice atmosphere to enjoy company. A lovely spot to dine! Thank you!
Great food, price makes it even better!. We dined here today, and the mussels are a must try, they were plump, juicy and not chewy like most restaurants these days. The calamari weren't chewy, and the bison spring rolls were quite different (in a good way) For a bill for less than $50 what a treat. The service was very attentive with plenty of re-fills.
30th Birthday Treat. Took my best friend here for her 30th birthday dinner. We arrived at 5pm and beat the dinner rush - good idea on our part as it got very full starting around 6pm. Server was warm and friendly and had great recommendations for food and wine. Bison spring rolls are delicious but a tad greasy this time (have had them before). Caesar salad was decent and main courses were delicious - definitely try the sweet potato perogies - amazing! I had classic beef lasagna and was not disappointed. Portions were generous and we took half of our meals home. A great night out overall!
At the end of the meal when they brought us the bill, they forgot to charge us for a half liter of house wine. Unfortunately the meal and the service were excellent and I would have felt like a real douchbag if I didn't inform the gal. Damn you Nicolino's damn you.
Delicious food and good portions but terrible service both times I've been to Nicolino's. Unfortunate.
Fantastic!. I went to Nicolino's today for lunch with my good friend Rosa!!!
It was very busy and opted to sit in the lounge. Our server was very pleaseant, attentive and all around wonderful.
Rosa opted for the Salsicce Al Arabiata $13.00 which was a wonderful Penne dish tossed in a fresh rosee. It smelled so good!!
I decided to go with the Feta Salad $11.50 and added chicken breast for $5.50 (which I though was a tad pricy... but really the total cost of the salad was $17.00 which rivals the price at all the big chain restaurants like Joey, Earls etc). But let me tell you how good this salad was.... it was loaded with feta, tomatoes and a generous supply of Kalamata olives. The chicken was awesome too even at $5.50. It was tender and cooked perfectly. The dressing they used too was out of this world.
Very Very Very Very good!!!
Definately try this place out!
This is good. I have met friends here for many lunches over the past few years and even a couple of dinners. Excellent menu and it gets changed up so frequent diners do see same old, same old all the time. I have sometimes found the house pasta sauce to be way too salty, beware. Other than that, I have never been disappointed with the meals and the service is great.
Autentic food, good atmosphere and friendly service keep me and the boys coming back!. Me and my fellow co-workers from a plumbing shop down the street have been by this awesome joint on a few occasions now and all of us have had nothing but excellent and uniquely authentic tasting food, great service, and very good overall satisfaction. each time the owner (nick) has come to our table to make sure we are all fully satisfied with our food, and he goes the extra mile to show us how much he cares about his customers! And we really appreciate that!
Just OK. Service was quite slow and disorganized. Italian Veggie Pizza was good but could not make up for the service and blah atmosphere. I would get take out/delivery but would not eat in again.
The Lorenzo pizza is the best thing I have EVER eaten!
Best clubhouse ever!. Their clubhouse sandwich for lunch is the best ever!!! love that they do not use regular bread!! YUMMMMMM
and... their salads are good too!!! And... tea selection was nice! :)
Classic good food with urban twist. We had a family dinner at Nicolinos last night. The food was fresh, hot and good. Tried the mushroom bruschetta, it was perfect.
Service is always impeccable at Nicolino's, would recommend to groups of people with all tastes. There is something to satisfy everyone.
First time, very enjoyable.. On Friday I came here for the first time with my mom and brother. I thought it looked very nice and clean inside with nice decor. All of the staff were very friendly, and my water was never empty! Nicolino's has a nice big menu with lots to choose from! I was having trouble deciding. I finally chose the margarita pizza and it was SO good. Nice thin crust! My mom had the cannelloni which she seemed to enjoy. I had a bite, and the sauce seemed a bit bland. My brother got the parmisagna sandwhich, which he said was okay, but didn't seem too impressed. I tried his fries and thought they were awesome! I will be back for sure.
Valentine's for Three. Had a great dinner here last night with two of my best friends. Nicolino's was offering a Valentines dinner for $40, $10 of which was being donated to Haiti. You got a starter of pan fried prawns with a delicious sauce for dipping. Main course was stuffed chicken breast with rice and black peas served on a bed of yam fries and a trio of desserts which included rice pudding, an amazing strawberry gelato and a white cake drizzled with a basil cream. My two friends did not partake in the special but both had the beef tenderloin which was cooked to perfection served with buttermilk mashed potatoes and an assortment of freshly cooked veggies. We also sampled the bison spring rolls (delish) and the saffron pernod cream mussels which were a little sweet for our palates. The wildberry gelato was also a winner at our table. Will definitely be going back for more of their menu. Service was super friendly as well.
We have a winner.. In my humble opinion tied for first the best pizza in the city.
One of the best homestyle Italian restaurants i have been to. Prices are reasonable. Our waiter Ken was awesome and was very helpful with explaining the dinner choices.
The restaurant was good I went just before dinner. The atmosphere was okay, the staff seemed a bit cold🤷🏾♀️. It was just an okay dining experience. I ordered the Fettuccine Chili Cream Prawn Pasta, no regrets! It was a hot and yummy😋 dish, with lots of flavours and the pasta al dente and the salad was really good 👌. I enjoyed it. I'd probably order out next time instead of dining in.
We were a party of 9 in the back room. Server was excellent, food was great. Salads and mains were served to all of us at the same time with no one waiting for their plates. Larger groups can be a challenge, but the server and kitchen staff provided top service. We will be back.
One of the best restaurants I’ve been to! The food was great, the environment was friendly, the staff were outstanding. Our server was very informative and helpful, he was kind and nice. I ordered pasta with shrimp and was super delicious. The pasta and shrimp were cooked just fine. Their lasagna was perfect as well! Oh and the bread sticks were awesome!I liked their patio too.I will definitely come back.
Lovely place to have a meal. Kids friendly. Lots of choices. The pasta was great! Staff were nice and kind
Wonderful place with wonderful people. Loved the variety in the menu. Great food and many healthy choices available.
Food was excellent. Our server was so helpful since it’s our first time eating there. We didn’t feel rushed, we enjoyed every minute of it.
Stumbled on this restaurant on a random day out. We decided to give it a try and it was a pleasant surprise. The service was great and the food was equally outstanding. It also makes for a good sports bar if you want to catch some sport events with friends while enjoying lovely Italian cuisine.
