Message from the Business
Welcome to the award-winning Nicola's Ristorante Italiano in Plano's The Shops at Legacy. Its sophisticated atmosphere and innovative design features a bar, romantic, high-backed booths, al fresco dining on the patio, private dining and semi-private dining rooms, and a mezzanine overlooking the main dining area. Authentic Northern Italian cuisine is prepared in the traditions of Chef Luciano Salvadore's mother country. All pasta is hand-made, there are no freezers in the restaurant and groceries are delivered twice a day to insure only market-fresh ingredients. The wood-burning oven was imported from Italy and often produces Nicola's delicious pizzas, lasagnettas, and baked fish. Our staff is friendly and committed to providing excellent service with a smile on their face.
Nicola's Ristorante Italiano was voted Best Italian Restaurant by the Dallas Observer's Readers Poll 2008.
