    Went to Nicola's with a friend, first time for both of us. Food was excellent, we both ordered the Tagliatelle alla bolognese, and loved it. Service from Ben was great, and the decor, lighting, and noise level were what you'd expect from a high-end restaurant. The manager also stopped by to check in on things, a nice touch.
