All of their pasta dishes are available as half orders which makes the pricing more reasonable, and really the half orders are the size that a full order should be.

Maybe the best choice for a great meal in Cincinnati -- excellent food, excellent wine list & excellent decor. One of the best meals I've ever had.

It'a all great. Nicola's might be the fanciest place in OTR. Reservation highly recommended.

Anna Hider

Sit at the bar to avoid a wait! And you can order half portions of pasta !
