    Fantastic friendly vibe, the quality of purveying every item on the menu is consistently a 10. . The recipes are genuinely original and the selection of different meats, fish,pastas, salads and brick oven pizza are endless. I’ve been eating at DaNicola from day one and it NEVER disappoints my family and friends for any occasion. It’s a NYC experience at half the price of any 5 star restaurant!! Nicky the owner/chef of the restaurant loves satisfying his loyal customers with his home cooking!! Kudos to Marci, Donna and Stavros for their service.

    Was seated immediately in the back room. We were given menus but it took the server over 20 minutes to take our order. We than waited about 40 minutes. Where's our order? Server was flagged down and stated there was a delay in the kitchen. At the very least he could have given us a leg up on the situation while we waited. After dinner we waited another 20 minutes to request a check. Where's our server? The food was excellent and the meal would have been perfect except for the infinite waiting throughout the meal. Will give Da Nicola another try.

    Delicious food and my husband who is a chef loved his Branzini. He said it was the best meal he ever had ! My chicken bruschetta was fabulous. The restaurant has great ambience and friendly staff. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will return soon. Lisa Cohen

    Noise level was not energetic it was unnecessarily noisy. Service was slow. I wanted to substitute toasted potatos for French fried with my burger and the waiter said no I had to order a whole separate order of roasted potatos. I wouldn’t mind an up charge but to make me order a whole side order is not accommodating. My husband wanted to order a bar pie and waiter said only available on Sunday. Not noted on the menu. Don’t think we’ll go back.
