    Da Nicola absolutely exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, polished, and authentically Italian, the perfect balance of upscale and welcoming. We ordered a variety of dishes and every single one was exceptional. The halibut with butter lemon sauce was perfectly cooked ,flaky, delicate, and incredibly fresh. The sauce was light yet flavorful, enhancing the fish without overpowering it. It was elegant and balanced. The grilled branzino over broccoli rabe was another standout. The branzino had a beautiful char and crisp skin, while staying tender and moist inside. Paired with the slightly bitter, perfectly sautéed broccoli rabe, it was a flawless combination. The pasta with short ribs was pure comfort food in the best way. The short ribs were melt in your mouth tender, and the sauce was rich, deep, and clearly slow cooked with care. You can taste the love and time that went into it. And the chicken calabrese had just the right kick …bold, flavorful, and perfectly executed without being overwhelming. What truly sets Da Nicola apart, though, is the hospitality. The service was attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. The pacing of the meal was perfect, and every plate came out beautifully presented. This wasn’t just dinner, it was an experience. Da Nicola is the kind of place you look forward to returning to before you’ve even left the table. Highly, highly recommend.

    We are frequent diners.. which is why we were stunned that the "Manager" of the restaurant was hostile when questioned as to why 20% glass of the cocktail ordered was left not full. He began with a statement "We had a meeting with the boss last night". and among other things said "We can`t give away alcohol for free" stated in an accusatory way.The interpretation being "You want to steal alcohol from the restaurant."! Yes ,the manager of Da Nicola is now accusing patrons of wanting to steal from the restaurant !! The "cocktail " itself was very poorly prepared more like warm lemon juice with a touch of alcohol. Hopefully this was an aberration and the "Manager" gets some hospitality training, and and the bartender learns how to prepare a drink.As of now beware.
