I cannot say enough about how great a birthday party I had for a close friend at Nicola’s. Samantha, who handles larger groups assisted in the planning. She was wonderful, patient, helpful and very efficient. The food was amazing along with the outstanding service. Definitely a fantastic place to host an event, the added plus is its a BYOB.

This place is unreal! Real, authentic Italian food — the kind that instantly transports you back to Italy. The music sets the mood, the atmosphere feels like home, and the food is absolutely on point. This is the only place in the U.S. where I’ve had rabbit cooked exactly like it is in the motherland.

I felt compelled to write a review after countless visits to Nicola’s. We’ve had birthday parties, New Years Eve and your standard night out dinners here and they’ve all been great.

Last night I had my mom’s 70th birthday party and it was awesome. Great food, great service and always accommodating. They have a fixed menu option for larger parties – price was good for the amount of food served. Everything came out hot and fresh. I would recommend for parties or date night.

Nicola’s is a charming BYOB Italian restaurant that offers delicious food at incredibly reasonable prices. The atmosphere is elegant, the menu is impressively diverse, and every dish we tried was fresh and flavorful. The service was excellent, making for an all-around enjoyable dining experience. If you haven’t been yet, it’s definitely worth a visit.

This place was amazing! Came for a lovely dinner with family to celebrate some birthdays. The atmosphere is fancy but in a cozy and relaxed way. Service was great. Our waiter (i think his name was Brian, younger guy with dark hair and glasses) was very friendly. All the staff seem to be happy to be there, which is nice. At some restaurants it feels like you wait for ages after orderinf, but the food came out really surprisingly quick. And yet, they don’t rush you in the least. As for the food, really truly amazing. We all can’t stop talking about how good it was! I don’t live in the area anymore but I’d honestly make the hour drive just to order takeout from here. You know how sometimes you try a new restaurant and you’re like, eh it is what it is with the food. Maybe it’s not bad. But it’s nothing to get excited about. You didn’t have to cook or wash the dishes, so that’s cool. And we get used to being underwhelmed by restaurant food. But this place was truly so, so good. Nicola’s is a true gem. The pictures are of the orichette ragu, and the lemon infused pasta special- wow. I could go on. So if you’re looking for some really good italian food in a nice place with great service that won’t cost you your entire paycheck, this is where you want to be! Plainly and simply put, it was just a really enjoyable experience all around. Can’t wait to go back!

Surprisingly, great food, but I’ve said it once & I’ll say it again some of the best food in New Jersey comes out of a strip mall!

Attended My beautiful cousins baby shower and the food was just delicious! Eggplant rollintini was my favorite. And the salmon, oregano, for dinner was absolutely scrumptious

The food is excellent, however it is somewhat loud regardless of where you are seated. Also we were a group of six and the table we were seated at did make me feel like we were in the center of everything. I would have preferred a table closers to one of the walls.

Nicolas Ristorante is an absolute gem! The food is delicious, with every dish full of flavor and clearly made with care. The portion sizes are perfect and very satisfying. The service is excellent, and the staff are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, great for a date night or dinner with friends. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

We recently had the joy of celebrating with our wedding party at Nicola’s, and from start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The restaurant’s atmosphere is precisely what you hope for: elegant, stylish, warm, and relaxed. It feels fancy without being formal, which makes it truly unique.

Communication during the coordination of this special event was seamless. Carlie was incredibly responsive to every inquiry, addressing all my concerns calmly and composedly. She was also highly flexible, accommodating every request I made.

The personal care provided by Nick and Carlie, the wonderful owners, truly elevated the night. They went above and beyond to ensure our group felt welcome and cared for, which meant the world to us. It’s clear this restaurant is managed with love and pride.

The food was terrific, as always. Nick curated the menu, ensuring options for all palates, from perfectly cooked filet mignon to tender salmon, flavorful chicken, and rich pasta dishes. Everything was top-tier. What stands out is how every dish is served simultaneously, hot, and perfectly timed. Each dish looks as good as it tastes, and the flavors are always spot-on. You can tell how much care goes into every plate.

Nicola’s is more than just a restaurant to us. It’s part of our story. Celebrating a milestone or enjoying our weekly dinner is always a five-star experience. A huge thank you to Nick, Carlie, and their fantastic team. We’re so grateful for this gem of a place.
