We ate dinner at Nicolina's on a week night. The food quality was good and the presentation was excellent.

Fully loaded Pizza

by RF400 at Citysearch

Nic's pies are heavy and fully loaded. There sausage is really good and fresh since its made in there New York sausage Co located behind Nic's. I've been coming hear for many years now and have never had a bad pizza. Try a Tina's too much, YUM. There staff is great as well. Try Nic's for the best pizza around.

awful service

by kevrin at Citysearch

We had a horrible experience here. Yes it was a Friday night but they weren't packed.

It started by being treated rudely by the young, attitude filled kid at the front and went downhill from there. We were ignored for 10 minutes (no water, silverware, bread or server) and when the bread finally came it was warm on the outside and COLD inside, like it just came out of the freezer. Another couple of minutes before a server came and she acted like we were completely ruining her day be being there.

The oysters came 20 minutes later and were washed -a big no-no. Another 30 minutes after that our entree finally came and one was quite good and the other just horrible. It was a pasta dish with "filet mignon" which was gristly, chewy and quite possibly boiled before being thrown in at the last minute.

No one bothered to ask how our dinner was, we truly saw very little of the server all night.

Add up the time and you see that we were there nearly an hour before dinner which would have been acceptable for a good meal and ambience but the food was bad and the whole place needs a serious upgrade.

• Pros: strolling, goofy but fun violinist
• Cons: terrible service and less than par food
