Reviews for Nicola's Italian Restaurant in Wilmington, NC

Authentic Italian cuisine in a small, somewhat austere space with great service. Homemade pasta is the difference. Nothing... fancy but it doesn't need to be. Recommended. Read more

One of my favorite places in town and a go to place for a special occasion. I always find myself drawn back to the risottos... paired with the bread and olive oil. The atmosphere is great and so is the service. It?s always nice to be able to see some ofthe kitchen and get a sense for how the food is cared for which is a staple at Nicola?s. Read more

Looking for the most delicious Italian cuisine with outstanding service? Visit Nicola?s on Oleander Dr. We went for the first... time last night. The food from start to finish was superb. We had bruschetta for an appetizer which was the best I?ve evereaten. Everyone?s entrees were delicious. They make their pasta in house! We enjoyed cannolis for dessert, which were theperfect end to the best meal we?ve eaten in a very long time! Our server, Sara was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and nice.This was our first visit, but will now be our favorite date night restaurant. Our only regret, not visiting sooner. Read more

Always excellent! Great service, food is cooked to order. Pasta is homemade and sauces are so good. The lemon basil salad... dressing is delicious as are the garlic knots. This is a favorite restaurant for us. Huge servings ...always a doggie bag to gohome. Read more

Wow, great Italian food in Wilmington! Pasta is made in house. If you order the pappardelle, you can choose meat sauce,... meatballs or sausage, or two or all three combined! Good wine and non alcoholic beer. Read more

We had a birthday gathering of 11 at Nicholas last night. Our server, Sydney, was a Rock Star. She made sure our wine glasses... and water glasses were always full. We ordered 2 white pizzas for appetizers which came one after the other so all pieces werehot and delicious. Our salads came out first and all entrees followed at the same time. All of the entrees were absolutelydelicious! My peppercorn ribeye with Gorgonzola sauce ranked in top 5 steaks that I have ever had. THANK YOU, NICHOLAS, FOR AWONDERFUL EVENING!? Read more

Delicious homemade pasta with any sauce, meat or fish. They work with you on any substitutions if you prefer a veggie in place... of pasta. Save room for the coconut cake!! Read more

My wife requested Nicola's for her Birthday dinner, so we went. Noelani, our waitress, was very kind and knew the menu. She was... also great with wine pairing. We ordered an appetizer of calamari, with entrees of Dolce Piccante and Chicken Emiliana. Alldishes were good and the atmosphere was great! This resturant is well worth your visit. When you go ask for Noelani. Read more
