I had the veal Marsala and it was excellent. The people at the next table were a tad loud though. The cannoli was soooo good too.

We were at the Westin Mission Hills resort, which is fairly close by, for a week. We ended up eating at Nicolino's twice. The setting is casual and comfortable. The service was friendly and prompt, and the food was very good. Our two teenage daughters really liked the food. Nothing fancy, but it was just what we were looking for.

The pricing is fair and the pizza is great! The Caesar salad is top shelf as well. A trip to Nicolino's is a guarantee when I fly in from the United Kingdom to visit my parents.

The food is great here. However, it would have taken at least 2 of me to eat my full meal. Also it was a bit pricey. It would have been more appealing if they would reduce the prices and the portions accordingly.

Visited 7/18/12 while staying at Lawrence Welk's Desert Oasis. What a pleasant surprise. It was so low key on outside and quiet and average looking on the inside, but the food and service were awesome. Great menu, lots of options for non-vegan and 2 options for vegans (vegans, marinara has chicken broth). They made me a fresh pesto sauce without... More

Nicolino's has been around the desert for ages, and there is a good reason for it. The food is excellent, fresh, and well prepared. The restaurant is clean, welcoming and comfortable. The staff make you feel right at home when you walk in the door. A true desert gem.

There seemed to be a lot of locals there and several people were in line with us for take out. From the out side we didn't expect much... More

I took my teen daughter out for Girls' Night Out, our Mom & Daughter tradition. Tonight we chose Nicolino's, Cathedral City where parking is always available, and friendly, attentive owners, Mark & Rhonda, and staff are on-site. The restaurant is wonderful. Private, cozy booths, low noise level even though the place was packed. The servers were uber-attentive, and had a... More

Well to start off with the waitress didn't know the special or care to find out about it. All we kept hearing was how busy she was. She couldn't even tell us about the house wines. The pasta was floating in water in the bottom of the bowl. Like other reviews you could compare it to Chef Boyrdee in a... More
