Today we lunched at Nicola's, a new edition to the Preston/NW Hwy area. The inside definitely has grandeur down to an art. Elaborate fabrics, grandiose chandeliers, and marble are the order of the day in Nicola's decorating scheme. It made for a lovely combination.
We started with some of the house bread, complete with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping. The bread was fantastic and a great preview of what was to come.
We then moved on to the Caprese salad. While the tomatoes were a little anemic (I think they should be beefy red vs. pink when they're offered as a feature salad), the mozzarella and fresh basil helped make this dish a success. Three hefty slices of tomato and three hefty slices of mozzarella made this an ideal salad to split.
We finished with the Pizza Genova, a pizza made with mozzarella, basil pesto, super salty Kalamata olives, Italian sausage, and sun-dried tomatoes. Since neither of us love pizza sauce, this pizza was the perfect alternative. It was a delicious meal that we couldn't finish - to go boxes all around!
Very solid entrees, a great ambiance, and a delightful wait staff, we definitely recommend Nicola's.
