Nicola's - Plano

This place is one of the nicest Italian places at Shops at legacy. We had ordered alfredo pasta and pizza. It was a good meal and the service was prompt!<br/

We tried variety if things, bruschetta was fresh tasting, got a pizza not much toppings but tasted fresh as well and liked the crust, chicken lasagna was good, and had beef tenderloin that was okay. Enjoyed the first three items the most. Didn't care fur the bread served with meal. Service was fine but not looking out to be super friendly. Decent place.

Great Italian food, but iffy hostess. First off, I came here with a rather large group and we were on a pretty tight schedule. I was a little frustrated at the beginning because although we had a reservation for 18 people, we had to wait more than twenty minutes to be seated. Strangely a group of people with a later reservation and larger group simply walked in, spoke with the hostess, and were immediately seated. Worse, when we asked what the hold up was with OUR reservation, the young hostess snapped back (condescendingly, may I add that the restaurant business is unpredictable, which I understand; however, I did not appreciate her tone. When we were finally seated, I was disappointed to see it was in separate tables of ten and eight. <br/ <br/ As disparaging as the beginning of my dinning experience was, after we were seated our waiter was so pleasant and laid back. He helped me choose my entree and it was wonderful. I don't remember what it was called but the vodka sauce was simply amazing. It was cheesy and spicy and everything in between. It looked just as good as it tasted. Great dish. I also, cannot stress enough the tone shift from the hostess to the waiter. The waiter was both funny and attentive and he left me thinking great thoughts about this place. (Plus, the valet was hilarious. <br/ <br/ Basically, great food, great waiter and valet, but pretty awful hostess.

Great Restaurant. Great restaurant and great service. Food was really good and specially my server was excellent with suggesting the best dish and drink in the house

I recommend getting a booth instead of a table at this restaurant. You'll enjoy it. You can also browse the nearby shops before or after your meal. Additionally, the Angelika movie theater is conveniently located across the street. The food is very good, although the prices are not the cheapest. However, there is free valet parking available.
