    A perfect dinner (seated at counter) at Nostrana. Went on a Thursday - gnocchi night. I usually don’t choose gnocchi, but am now a convert - so pillowy and tender, and the clam sauce I chose was buttery, seasoned greatness. Our server was friendly, warm, and efficient and suggested an alternative wine by the glass that was from next door that was so good we bought a bottle to take home. Consistently amazing, and impressed my husband for date night.

    My wife and I thoroughly enjoy coming to Nicoletta's Table. The food is consistently excellent, the service always attentive, and the ambiance very comfortable and relaxing. We always take advantage of the take-out bar, as well, and stock up on some Italian cookies and meat sauce. An outing to Nicoletta's Table is well worth one's time!
