"The service started off terrible. The hostess was rude. She sat us in the middle of the room when there were only 5 or 6 table in the room. I asked to move and she said no. The server took 8 minutes even acknowledge us. The food was bland. We ordered a cheesy bread, there was a bowl of blah marinara sauce and some cheese sprinkled and melted across the bread sticks.
My dates dinner was your typical spaghetti and meatballs, no spices or zing to set it apart from ragu. My dinner was the mushroom risotto. I was practically attacked with garlic and it was severely missing the mushrooms that were promised.
All in all. I will not be back. I was not impressed all the way across the board. It was bland, boring, and very unimaginative.

"Menu has changed from that on their website with many items deleted and bar menu added to restaurant menu. Service was horrible, finally served our hot app. barely lukewarm after an hour and twenty minutes! First bottle of wine (from an excellent vineyard) was bad-very off tasting, next choice they did not have so the waitress brought out something she choose herself, a nice warm white which she poured a small amount of then said she would go chill the rest, but never returned with it. I went to find someone in charge ( the waitress had told us the manager was fired) and we left after an hour and a half without eating! Worst dining experience ever."

"The waitress was quite friendly and attentive, however on arrival ~6:50 for 7:00 reservations, no one was in the restaurant, no one could be found to seat us for over 5 minutes. The menu at the restaurant was more limited than the one online. Nonetheless everything ordered was tasty, the only item approaching 5 stars however was the lemon cheesecake, beautifully accompanied by rasberries and a berry drizzle."

"My friend and I were in town for the 500 festival mini marathon. Most of the places downtown were completely booked as far as reservations were concerned. So....we figured since we had a rental car, why not find a place. That we did, a little bit outside from downtown. About 10 -15 min max. It was located inside the Wyndam Hotel. Loved the atmosphere and decoration was retro yet modern. Staff was very friendly and most importantly the food was great. They had a cook to order pasta chef that was there. Excellent route for them to go. Definitely worth the try."

"Everything was great except the waitress was a bit behind and never did bring my husband his salad, so she ended up taking some off the bill for us. We understood, though, because she explained that she usually worked the hotel front desk, but was just helping out in the restaurant. That made the lack in service understandable."

"Overall our experience there was very good. Our waiter though a little slow was very friendly and was very nice! It was very quiet and romantic. I started off with a Tomato and Mozzarella salad which was quite good. The pinot noir was also very good. I ended up getting the Rack of Lamb with Risotto as my side. The risotto was some of the best I have ever had, and though the lamb was good, the port wine reduction was very over powering and kind of salty, it took away from the flavor of the meat instead of adding to it. I ended up just scrapping the sauce off and just ate the meat :)"

"I made the reservation on Open Table for Nicolino's shortly before we arrived. No problem they had received it. We were seated and I checked my phone for e-mails. Had one from Open Table that my reservation had been canceled. Went to the host and he told us he had deleted my reservation. I told him that it was unacceptable and that I was making another reservation immediately and he was not to delete it. He noted that he did not understand the Open Table concept so I had an opportunity to bring him up to speed. Be sure to check your reservation when you are seated to ensure that no one deletes you!"

"I am a recent college graduate and my boyfriend and I went to Nicolino's because we had a groupon but would not have chosen it price-wise if it were not for this. However, the food was delicious! We had the bruschetta, seafood alfredo, salmon, and dessert, with no complaints, everything was fresh, good flavor and spices, and came fairly quickly. The only thing was that there was hardly anyone there even on a Saturday night! We had half of the restaurant all to ourselves and were sad that a place with food this good didn't get more service."

"Took my wife there on Valentine's Day. Extremely quiet and initiate. The food tasted amazing. For $50 we were treated to two salads, two entrees, two deserts, and two glasses of champagne. At the end of the meal, the server surprised my wife with a rose. It was an unbelievable value. I can't wait until there's another special deal like this so we can go back."
