To impress you or a client at lunch go here! Wow what a FANTASTIC Italian restaurant! I went to Nicola?s Italian Restaurant in Plano a few weeks ago and did not see what I ?felt? like eating for lunch on the menu. I explained to the waiter that I would love one of the salads on the menu with salmon instead of shrimp or chicken and he was very accommodating. When the salad came it was the LARGEST cut of salmon I have ever seen on top of a... Read More On Citysearchwendyyork1 3/1/2009
Service was comparable to a casual restaurant, main entree disappointing I loved the atmosphere and decor.
The service was disappointing. My martini glass was empty; the waiter asked if I wanted another, which I replied yes, it was a Dirty Martini. I waited a while; my two dinner companions still had pretty full glasses. Then when they finished he asked all three of us if we wanted another drink. Again, I told him a Dirty Martini, with the house vodka.
He brou... Read More On Citysearchblueridgekat 11/18/2008
It was fantastic I turned 22 this passed week and my friends and I decided to eat at Nicolas Friday night and then later head to Martini Park. We were sat upstairs, without a problem, by the balcony and instantly we were greeted by our waitress. She was very polite and guided all of us threw everything, apps, salads and entrees. We had never been to such a nice place and she made us feel at home. You know she did... Read More On CitysearchLacy22 8/27/2008
Exquisite authentic Italian cuisine We cannot believe how wonderful everything was from the seamless service to the impeccable dishes. My husband and I have been dining out for a long time and being that my family is from Italy we tend to look for the more authentic Italian restaurants. We were amazed to find that not only does Nicola's make their own pasta, but they also have their produce and proteins shipped in daily. This seem... Read More On Citysearchloyalguest 5/3/2008
All around EXCELLENT! I am a regular visitor here. The food is incredible. The pasta is fresh. The veal is great. I have yet to order a bad dish. The service is always friendly and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place to all of my friends. The dining room is romantic and they have a great patio.

Definitely will recommend it to all our friends The first impression you get of the place is elegant and inviting.The host stand area was very congested due to a large party that they were waiting to seat. Our waiter came to the table almost immediately after we were seated. He welcomed us with a smile and then asked if we had been there before, we told him we had and he welcomed us back. We said we would be ordering wine and he immediately su... Read More On CitysearchFoodcriticplano 4/27/2008
Excellent North Side Italian We have been to Nicola's a few times now and have left more than satisfied on each visit. We love the decor and the scene both inside and on the patio. The bar area is a little small but there are nice couches on the patio to hang out while you wait. We have learned to make reservations since you never know if Tuesdays will be considerably busy or steady. The food is comforting and consistent... Read More On CitysearchPastarasta 3/29/2008
dirty tables + non-attentive services + bad attitude! We should have just left when we were first led to a dirty table that had visible food residue on it. It was cleaned up after we pointed out that to the hostess.
Then the waitress (1104 Kara J as shown on the receipt) didn't come take our order for at least 15 minutes.
When we asked for a substitute of one of sides in the entree to risoto because the waitress could not explain to us what t... Read More On Citysearchgoodfoodlover2000 3/21/2008
Incredible Meal! We made a surprising discovery last night while shopping at the Shops of Legacy in Plano, Nicola's Ristorante Italiano. We were able to get a table on the sidewalk patio which had great people watching to enjoy while we dined. We started the meal with Focaccia Siciliana a wonderful bread topped with sundried and fresh tomatoes and basil. We also enjoyed the paper thin Prosciutto with pears. They ...

No Service--We Gave Up Our exposure to the Plano Nicola's was limited. We never got as far as getting water never mind any food. We knew, and liked, the Galleria restaurant that closed prior to the Plano relocation. We arrived for our reservation, and were seated promptly. We waited and waited ... and finally a brusque waiter asked if we wanted bottled or tap water. Then we waited and waited to see him again. We ... Read More On CitysearchSDurante 2/4/2008
What a fantastic place! I went there for lunch and had the Margherita pizza for a reasonable price with Tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil. A perfect light yet filling lunch in a beautiful atmosphere. I can see how this would be romantic for a get away lunch or evening dining experience. The menu has an array of handmade pastas, meat dishes and seafood. The wine list is an expected nice variety. All i... Read More On Citysearchwendyyork 12/3/2007
The best and ONLY homeade pasta you will find in town! Nicola's is the perfect place for a romantic evening or just an experience you hopefully wont forget. With the authentic Italian food it just makes it a perfect treat to your evening. From the wonderful fried Calamari to the original chicken and artichoke heart "Lasagnetta," it is hard to find something that will not please you. Read More On Citysearchlceubanks 11/25/2007
Wonderful Food Nicola's was the perfect spot for my anniversary dinner. We started with the antipasto platter for two. For dinner I had the Chilean Sea Bass and it was perfectly done with tomatoes and garlic. Dessert was a big bowl of little cream puffs filled with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with rich chocolate sauce that we shared. Great ambience and friendly waiter.
