I went to this restaurant with a big group of family so we ordered many dishes. We went there because it had high ratings on Trip Advisor but the food wasn’t very good. The lasagne bolognese had big chunks of meat, too much sauce and...not enough pasta. The calamari and greens appetizers were good. The salad was old and wilted. Most of the main courses had too much salt, cheese and heavy sauce. I ordered gnocchi with greens, pictured here, it was good. However the service was good!More

We went here for dinner one night and everything was very good. They also have good appetizers and my wife had the ravioli which was excellent. I highly recommend this place for good Italian food.

We wanted to try something new and we decided to come here. We were not disappointed. Steak was great and cooked just the way I like it. No doubt we will come here again.

A friend introduced me to this place while on a shopping trip and we've been back multiple times since then. I've liked the mozzarella marinara appetizer, the bread they serve, the meatballs, the bolognese sauce, the chicken marsala, and the chicken francaise. I LOVE the...side salads they serve with the meals, the pizza, and their red sauce on pasta. I'm the type of person who loves a ton of extra sauce, but somehow their sauce is so flavorful and sticks with the pasta so well, I don't mind getting less sauce than normal. I also like the option to order a dish like chicken marsala, then get a separate sauce with the pasta so I can try new things, but still never miss out on my red sauce while I'm there. The only thing I'm not a fan of is having them prefer to wrap my leftovers - they bring them back to the table in shrink-wrap so I can't continue to snack and overeat while I wait for the check haha (really it's very nice to avoid spills and it's probably for my own good they stop me from eating the whole thing).More

We had a large party of 25 after my husband’s commencement ceremony at YSU. I called a couple weeks prior to that to make a reservation, and the hostess was very pleasant and professional. Our food was great, and the server did the best that...he could on his own. I personally think that they should’ve had another server helping him! Because we were there early evening on a Sunday, they were out of steaks, and some were disappointed. We also asked for the kid’s meals to come out first and he did accommodate that for us. Overall our visit was great and so was our server. We will definitely return!More

We ordered the potato and greens pizza. Added sausage at the waitresses suggestion. One of the best tasting pizzas I've ever had! Molly was our waitress and she was amazing!

Visited last August and ordered Margarita pizza which consists of tomato and basil. They couldn’t make it because they were out of basil. How can an Italian restaurant be out of basil when grocery stores are across the street. Thought we would give them another...chance in September and ordered a salad with only olive oil and was promptly told we don’t use OLIVE Oil. Again what Italian restaurant doesn’t use olive oil. Now, was forced to go back this month for a birthday party where I ordered chicken al vino, which is chicken and clams, with a side of broccoli. Chicken was dry and lacked clams, broccoli was raw, cold with no seasoning. 6 out of 15 people ordered the Tuscan pork tenderloin, which was pork loin better known as boneless pork chops. Cold and dry!! They All Sent Them Back!! Will Not Be Returning Any Time Soon...More

A friend and I originally had plans to have lunch at another restaurant that turned out to be closed, so she suggested Nicolinni's. I'm ashamed to say that I have lived in this town for 20 years, and only had their pizza. What the heck...was I thinking? Their Chicken Marsala is divine! I paired it with some linguine with red sauce (with the intention of taking it home for dinner), and even though I was stuffed, I couldn't stop eating it. Their homemade bread with herbed olive oil for dipping is seriously addictive. The salad was delicious, too. Service was outstanding at the bar, I will definitely be back!!!More

My wife and I were on way home from weekend vacation. Called ahead and made reservation for 7:00. Got there 15 minutes early and had drink at bar. Nice bartenders who were very friendly. Buzzer went off little after 7:00. Ordered our dinner and it...was so awesome. I go to this reasturant about 2 times a year and I have never ever had a bad meal. Service was great. Our waiter was very pleasant and was very quick in refilling glasses. Price is mid range and portions are perfect. You will not leave disappointed. It is my number 1 reasturant in area. Boardman has a lot of very good reasturants and this is definitely one of the best. You will not go wrong eating here.More

This place is terrible!! The staff SUCK..The staff think they're doing you a favor waiting on you, which was my unfortunate experience...The children who are working at this restaurant have the typical attitude that kids today think they're entitled. Someone however forgot to tell them...they're waiters, waitresses and cooks...So until you find a real job I say to the staff and the management at this establishment to review their attitude and quit treating patrons like we are doing you a favor. Take my word that this place sucks. The food is overrated, overpriced and overcooked and the staff is beyond RUDE!! Show lessMore

I had a chance to have lunch with an old friend and asked "let's go someplace authentically Youngstown" so she suggested Nicolinnni's. I'm glad she did; we were late for a lunch but they were happy to seat and serve us. Spicy greens were recommended,...the server said they WERE spicy, but not likely to make my hair stand on end, I found them DELICOUS. Just enough heat to be interesting, lots of garlic and escarole stewed maybe a bit too much, but they were great. I also ordered a small pizza, simple with good tomato sauce, and a bit of green peppers. It was a good extra after the greens. My friend ordered Chicken Marsalla; she said it is her favorite; I had a taste and it was quite good. We were also served some good bread right after being seated, our server suggested I mop up the excess sauce in the greens with the bread. MY kind of restaurant.More
