Nicole's Restaurant

Well worth a visit. Educated bartender was a nice start to dinner. Ceased salad with anchovy. Unfortunately served before app, dressed well. Grilled shrimp, with lemon caper aioli. Forgot aioli and served with cocktail. Shrimp was charred well but not overcooked. Meatball- tender. Deep savory flavor. Nice balanced marinara Broccoli rabe- seasoned well. Garlic wasn’t burnt and bitter. Cooked properly, still tender without being mush. Paprika baked cod with Yukon gold roasted potatoes. Zucchini with garlic & chili oil. Potatoes ranged from mush, perfect, still crunchy. Zucchini, almost too mushy. All three Seasoned well. Tiramisu- served in a coupe glass, nice change from most cut from a hotel pan. Not fresh whipped cream. Fake pseudo chemical taste, Rich's Instantwhip type products

Wow, just wow! What an outstanding experience we had dining here last night. My cousin was in town and 3 of us joined her for dinner with a reservation for 5:15. The dining area is cozy and tables were filled on a Friday night, so I recommend making a reservation. Also, we opted to park on the street, but there is a lot right next to the restaurant. The interior (no pictures) was beautiful, warm, and perfect for a winter's night. Very welcoming atmosphere. All of the staff were very pleasant and our waiter, Cody, was absolutely the best. He made a great night out even better with his hospitality and attention to detail. Ask for him if possible. And the food - oh my goodness! Some of the best Italian in the area and my favorite Chicken Marsala out of the ones that I have tried. We started

My husband surprised me with reservations for this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. I was blown away by all elements of our experience. Such a kind and attentive waiter. Everything we ordered was so flavorful and well balanced. We were hooked trying their side of meatballs as our appetizer. So moist and perfect. They had top notch cocktails, with great base alcohols. The atmosphere was cozy and romantic. The noise level was just right for intimate conversations. Plus they boxed everything for us. Be sure to make a reservation, as it’s worth the hype and space is limited.

Came here for date night tonight with a reservation, Casey our waitress provided excellent service, food was amazing and the Christmas decor was so sweet. Loved sitting in the back. We had the roasted baby carrots, salads, and then chicken parm with Alfredo on the penne and chicken Marsala swapped for the broccoli rabe instead of pasta . Dessert was the key lime pie. We were so impressed and we will be back.

10 out of 10 ⭐s. My daughter and I found ourselves in Albany and stumbled upon this restaurant. Wow are we glad. Wonderful atmosphere, great menu, and service. We had Shrimp & Scallop Scampi & Eggplant Parmesan both wonderful. We sat at the bar since place full even on a Wednesday evening. Michael the bar tender/server took great care of us. If ever back in Albany we'll stop again. Highly recommend.
