I am a hard critic of Italian food. This is my "Go to," when I am traveling for business in the Youngstown/Warren area. Today did not disappoint. The food was incredible, it was put in timely and not rushed and my colleague and I could not recommend more.

Just looked over old, old reviews. I said that? Well, that's just wrong. Especially for the great dinner Linda and I had today. So let's bury that years old review. Wife had lasagna. And it was hot and delicious. I had the Veal Calabrese. Which is veal breaded, and served atop greens with prosciutto on top of that, then provolone or mozzarella baked on. Finished with sauce, and I have always really liked the sauce at Nicolinni's. It's not acid, not sweet, has a great, rich, taste. Perfection on a plate. Never had this before, always getting parm or Marsala. That prosciutto really adds flavor. The bread was excellent, as it always is. Served with the garlic infused dipping oil. And the bowl of salad. That one size fits all dressing that I love the heck out of. This meal was fives across the board. Speaking of which, the service was outstanding as well. I've never noticed how great the servers here are. Today, I did. Great ####### job is all I can say about the service. I don't take things for granted these days. Well, try not to anyway. So here it is. Nicolinni's has great food, period. The service is ALWAYS great, period. People come from all over specifically for the salad and the bread. Just order your meal, and next time I'm just going to tell them to bring us the bread and salad. And pack the rest for the trip home. That bread and oil and salad are that good. And, if you remember Taxi's pizza, this place is the place for the single greatest potato and greens pizza on the planet. And it's not hyperbole if it's the truth. I live in New Castle. Turco's pizza is two miles from my door. Are they good? Yes they are. Do I like Nicolinni's pizza more? Yes I do. That's it. Great meal, great pizza, great day!

Stopped in tonight with my mom. She had the penne with vodka sauce and I had the portabello ravioli special. This was our first time here and we will be back! I could have made a meal out of the homemade fresh bread and garlic dipping oil! Looking forward to my leftovers for lunch!

Love Nicolinni's Restaurante! I've dined here several times and never had a meal that was less than excellent. Decor hints at old world Italy. Service is always good. The food is outstanding. When you are seated and look at the extensive menu it will be difficult to make a selection as it is all SO good. The pasta dishes are delicious as are the steaks, chicken and seafood. You'll be given a basket of their fresh baked bread and a small plate of olive oil and herbs. Sprinkle a little cheese on that plate... it's tasty to dip your bread into. On this trip for lunch, I got the Whitefish Francaise. It was wonderful, and highly recommended.

Had the chicken francese which was phenomenal. My favorite is the chicken al vino but it's not in the cop house menu. We were home visiting family and this is one of the top restaurants we miss! Service was excellent!

Nice place where we met a couple for a Saturday dinner. Wait time was about fifteen minutes. They are currently not taking reservations. The interior was okay. Nothing great to look at but everything was clean. The bar area was closed but drinks were available. The ladies hot cosmos and enjoyed them. The guys got Stella's. The food was quite good. The table split a calamari app which had a tasty wine sauce and was perfectly cooked. The table was served a family style salad with cold plates (we liked that touch), very nice citrusy sweet dressing. Main courses. The gnome got a vodka sauce penne dish that she loved. I had the chicken Calabrese (braided chicken topped with prosciutto) with greens and pasta. Really good. Chicken was tender and greens spicy. My pasta choice was gnocchi with Alfredo sauce. Divine The portions were huge. I got dinner and two lunches out of my order. Service was very good. Our server was busy but he kept moving. We'd definitely idiot again if in the area
