Review by Fredrick Abernathy

September 20, 2024

At Nicola's, we celebrated our anniversary in style! 🎉 The cozy patio ambiance made it even more special, despite some occasional street noise. We opted for the five-course tasting menu with wine pairings, and each dish was outstanding - especially the potato pasta and the rich pork belly starter! The attentive service and complimentary dessert topped off our experience perfectly.

With great cocktails and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s clear why Nicola's continues to be a favorite in Cincinnati. We can’t wait to return... 🍷✨
