Nicola Restaurant & Bar Columbus Reviews from The Last Year
I booked a reservation online via open table for our 15th
I booked a reservation online via open table for our 15th anniversary. In the request I asked for a quiet table and mentioned our anniversary. Neither of my requests were recognized. We were offered 3 different tables in the crowded dining room. We opted for a table/booth which had us seated next to one other couple rather than selecting a table between multiple other diners. Our waitress did not offer any information about the dining experience, no mention of specials, no explanation of the menu other than she pointed out she was handing us the drink side of the menu first. We had to ask about bread service, it was not mentioned to us at all. If you want bread service, you must purchase the chefs ciabatta bread listed just above the soup/salad options on the menu. There was also no mention of if it was our first time dining there or what we might be celebrating. Nothing about this experience felt like a romantic anniversary dinner. We knew there was a special, because we heard the diners next to us ask about one. This was after we had ordered. As for the food, my husband had the short ribs, which he said was very good. I had the bolognese. I chose this dish, because my husband had it at another restaurant the evening prior and it looked delicious! I was quite disappointed. The dish my husband had at another restaurant a nice sauce and distinctive portions of meat. The dish I had at Nicola's had little sauce and seemed very dry. Perhaps the pasta was the reason, as the pasta did appear to be homemade, but again, the sauce was lacking. I felt like a leftover spaghetti dish I make at home tasted better. i did convey the dryness of the dish to our waitress and she offered to send home extra sauce with the leftovers I boxed up to bring home. It's been a couple days and it's still in the fridge. I'm not excited to even doctor up the leftovers to try. Last, not that it should be expected, but no celebration dessert. And we were to the point of dissatisfaction that we didn't want to spend anymore money on dessert. Decided to go elsewhere for dessert, trying to put a happy end to our celebration. I doubt we'll give this restaurant another try.

Amazing! Beautiful atmosphere Drinks yummy food is delicious- all of the pasta is melt in your mouth
There's nothing to compare with NICOLA.
Chef Nicola and his wife Esperanza epitomize the VERY BEST in truly unique, cutting edge, luxurious Italian Cuisine. You can go to an expensive steak house nearby, or you can experience the indulgence of authentic, high level gourmet, Italian cuisine. We're not just talking pasta here! Very personal service, elegant atmosphere, but casual dress, together add up to Top Shelf Dining! Go to NICOLA as often as you can.
So after waiting 45 minutes for water and finally order
So after waiting 45 minutes for water and finally order drinks, 20 minutes later the tired old waitress brings my beer and while she's pouring it in the glass she realizes the glass is dirty and sticks her thumb down in my beer and tries to clean it, on the inside of the glass. At this point I ask for another glass and another beer which came 10min. later. This place is overpriced and if you want nasty people serving you food, this place is for you

Great atmosphere and wonderful pasta! I enjoyed the mushroom truffle fettuccine and the tiramisu for dessert.
Our most recent visit here was on a Friday evening, and it
Our most recent visit here was on a Friday evening, and it seemed like they were very busy. Our reservation was for 7:15P and we didn't get seated for a while. What was worse was that it was almost 8:15P by the time we got drinks, water and bread. Same thing with the entrees, they did take a while to come and our friends got their entrees well before we did (so things were not synchronized well). Now regarding the food. The bread with the olive oil was solid. Nice and fresh. I thought the flat bread was excellent. Lovely flavors but a lot heavier than I expected. The pappardelle boar Raghu was the opposite -- lighter than I would have expected, and the flavors were not as deep as I would have liked. But the pappardelle was cooked perfectly. The ambiance is lovely. Large open main room and smaller cozier adjacent rooms.
Not impressed.
Had the Bolognese...not very tasty. Chocolate cake was dry and bitter. They also charged $6 for the pre dinner bread. Friend ordered Chicken Parm...not shown on the menu. They ate a small amount and threw the rest away when we got home.
Every time I have gone the food and service have been great.
Great atmosphere especially for a date night or a celebration.
Wonderful Restaurant
Visiting Columbus for the weekend, I was looking for something quaint with a nice outdoor patio. I’m so glad I came across this restaurant. The patio was lovely surrounded by gorgeous flowers and plants. We had great and attentive service, our water was always filled and our server came around plenty of times. We loved the drinks and food and everything was delicious! I would definitely dine here again and would recommend if you’re looking for great Italian food with a great atmosphere.
The food was good but the service was a big disappointment
This was our second visit to Nicola. Our first experience was outstanding. We were there again on July 14, 2023 for a second visit. What a shame that the excellent food and a perfect night to dine on their patio can be ruined by an uncaring server. The bearded you man that was our server took our order, delivered the main course and disappeared. No check on if the food was satisfactory, no refill of the water glass, no chance to ask for butter instead of a pesto for the bread. What a shame the chef can be so good and have the experience, which is not inexpensive, ruined by an uncaring served. I had to flag down another server to tell her that our guy was missing in action. At their prices, service should be as outstanding as the food

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

Give the best answerApp
This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
