Nicola's Italian Wine & Faire

A wonderful "scratch kitchen" meal. A group loved the red and white sauces. But for me, the meatballs are the game changer! They are the best! Hopefully, you can save room for a dessert. We had the tiramisu and the Italian lemon cake. Both were delicious. We will be back to try the cheesecake and chocolate torte.

Absolutely Delish. Went specifically for the Bolognese. Have yet to have a restaurant that even came close to my own recipe. I was very impressed. Wonderful Flavors. The only thing I would change about it would be the noodles. They serve on Spaghetti, I feel that Linguini or even Fettucini would make it even more awesome. However, that is my personal preference and has nothing to do with the restaurant. Waiter was top Notch and walked us through the menu. I have lived in Omaha my whole life. Almost 50 years old now and so disappointed I didn't get in there sooner. This will absolutely be our go to spot. Can't wait for the spring, summer to enjoy this Gem on the patio. Thank you!

Such a nice place. Love the patio. The service is great and everyone working here is so friendly. The food….oh so so good. Raviolis are so well made and delicious. The pasta amazing. And the sauces, I’m obsessed with, I wanted to lick my plate😂. Good selection of wine and drinks. The cocktail menu is very fun and authentic. Worth a stop, great for a date night. Bruschetta is very delicious, great addition to any meal.

We enjoyed our quite Tuesday evening dinner. Despite it being Tuesday Nicolas was still pleasantly busy. This is a small family owned business, so there was a smaller staff. The food was delicious and freshly made with delicious ingredients. It was a little more pricy that I had originally thought, but the freshness of the ingredients and dish was worth the little extra cost. The tiramisu, like everything else, is homemade with a lovely spong cake instead of lady fingers.

Went to dinner with a friend, this is one of her favorite places to dine. The establishment offers inside and patio dining. We opted to eat outside as it was a beautiful day. We had wine and brushetta to start. I ate Chicken Marsala, which was delicious. The sauce was amazing. My friend had a dish with olives, dried tomatoes, and lightly seasoned spaghetti noodles. Overall a great experience.

Absolutely fantastic in all aspects! Service, food and wine. I can not emphasize enough how great this place is! Totally lucky gem that we walked by and turned around for! Update: 2.12.19 - has the bolognese for the first time, absolutely blew my mind! Also I should mention that the house salad is just fabulous! Very well balanced. Updated: 10.6.2022 - tried some new dishes, spaghetti aglio & olio & pink lasagna. Still fab, no crumb left behind.

Nicola's is absolutely fantastic. They catered my company's holiday party, and the food was absolutely delicious. The owner Nicola was lovely to work with -- answered all my questions and gave recommendations -- and I was so glad to get to meet her and her family when they delivered the meal! Highly recommend them for catering, especially for groups who might need vegetarian options!

Yum. Yum. Yum. Three total Yums! Food: covered that already. The people: friendly and fast! The space: quaint, relaxed, nice and energetic but not overbearing or “loud”. Like a casual fancy friends dinner. Three meals, two appetizers and all cooked great and presentations were like a chefs fare! I look forward to going back!

Pro tip: Make sure you get reservations for this place on the weekend because it gets packed very very quickly. This restaurant makes everything from scratch, so be prepared for a wait. The food when you do get it is great quality. Pro tip 2: sitting at the bar has its advantages, the owners work the restaurant and Nikola is exceptionally friendly. You get more of an experience if you get the chance to speak with her. Lemon cream al salmon Fettuccini 4 stars The Fettuccine was delicious, but the salmon was over cooked for me. My friend prefers the salmon overcooked like that though, so depending on your preference, this might be a five-star item. Lasagne Mediterranean 4 stars This was a very solid lasagna entree Spaghetti aglio plus olio 5 stars Nicola recommended we get it with the blue cheese and it absolutely enhanced the dish for me. All the meals come with bruschetta and salad. The bruschetta can be a skip. The pieces we had were kind of plain tasting. It's supposed to be fresh but it did feel like it might have been sitting for a bit. The salad was a very nice simple salad which we really enjoyed.
