Nicola's Italian Restaurant And Catering

Cold Spring, New York

Nicola's is a neighborhood eatery serving up home cooked italian dishes. My wife and I visit often since we live so close - we're never disappointed. You can tell Nick pours his passion into the restaurant. Stop in or order take out, you'll definitely enjoy it.

Sooooo yummy! Friendly, quick service, clean. And did I mention delicious?

The short, thick, drunk waitress with blonde highlights needs to go. Obnoxious. She wasn't even our waitress and came over to us at the end of our meal telling my fiance she "doesn't like him" because he "gives her bad vibes". Then she accused him of waving his hand at her in a derogatory way. She was slurring her words and again... wasn't even our waitress. We did not have an interaction with her prior to this My fiance is the sweetest, quietest person, and she clearly had hin confused with someone else in her drunken stupor. The quality of the food is irrelevant to her flagrant disrespect and unprofessional behavior. We will never be back. What a disgusting establishment to allow your employees to get wasted on the job and harass your paying customers. An absolute embarrassment.

Very good food, fresh and large portions! Cozy atmosphere, too.

Lovely! Food is tasty. Service is perfect for us. Relaxed, yet classy enough. Enjoyed Mom's 79th birthday there today.

Very friendly people at the restaurant. Wait between courses was a bit long. Due to the waitress kept getting sidetrack with idle talk with the "regulars" like 20 plus minutes or so. The food was ok too. Overall, I say a very friendly restaurant with pleasant people.

A pleasant surprise. I have passed Nicola's many times in my travels to and from Long Island, and finally decided to check it out. In a nutshell, I wish this restaurant was on Long Island because it would be my neighborhood go-to place. I have read several of the bad reviews, which mentioned plastic tablecloths, run down interior, etc. Get over yourselves. This isn't meant to be fine dining. It's a 47 year old family owned and operated restaurant. They put their heart into their food, and my wife and I found everything to be outstanding. I can't wait to go back.

great service home style cooking affordable price large portions food was ok
