   We had huge, delicious portions of pastas here. There’s a live pianist as well that created a lovely ambience as we enjoyed our meal.

   Amazing food! The environment is beautiful and the staff members are very hard working and very attentive. I'll totally come back to this place over and over again. Best Italian restaurant in Wellington!

   Came by myself for dinner. The mussels were really nice and buttery. For the main I got the bolognese, which was served hot and was decent. The main thing I came for was the family recipe tiramisu. The portion size is large and the flavour is on point. Only dislike was that it was a bit too airy for me, otherwise the presentation and all the flavours in and on it was perfect. Staff was attentive. Would go again just for the tiramisu.

   If you’re looking for a lively atmosphere where your family can catch up, this is a good place to be. However, it’s definitely not the place for quiet conversations. The food was decent, but honestly could be better, especially considering the prices. Overall, a nice option for groups looking for an energetic setting, but perhaps not the best for those seeking great value or a peaceful meal.

   Food was nice, but service off putting. Friendly, but we felt we had the hard upsale on everything. Made to order extra dish on the premise the mains would be late- they were not. Felt like they were keen to move us on as we only got 5 min between courses. We had three courses in under an hour and three different people serving us/clearing our dishes. Felt very rushed.

   Nicolinis used to be my favourite, until tonight. I’ve never had food served so burnt. It was like a rock of charcoal. Literally boiling hot and burnt my tongue and lips even after waiting 10 minutes for it to cool down. So gutted :( it really ruined my evening. I was so excited to go to my favourite restaurant which is normally 10/10 amazing. Don’t get the lasagna if you go. The other meals on our table were lovely.

   Mixed reviews about our dining experience, mostly good though. I was the only one out of us that had an entree, the calamari. Very nice and I would expect so for the pricey entree. Would have liked to see a bit more calamari...it sat atop a very large entree sized salad, which by the way was pleasant to eat...way more salad than calamari. My friend had the seafood pasta dish which was presented well, and she enjoyed it immensely. Two of us ordered (sorry can't remember the exact name of the dish) but it was like a spaghetti bolognese. We both enjoyed it, but I did find it a bit on the salty side. We all shared the profiterole dessert... 3 profiteroles drenched in rich chocolate sauce, sweetness overload. The not so good... When we arrived at our table, we were asked if we would like sparkling water or just normal water. We said sparkling water. when we asked for another bottle, my friend asked if it cost? Yes it's $10.00 a bottle, which shocked us as we weren't told this when it was originally asked. We weren't happy and told the waitress to tell management. Fortunately we weren't charged the $10.00. We really appreciate this. I did say to the waitress that another restaurant we went to offered free unlimited sparkling water. They forgot my friend's drink order as well. We had 4 different wait staff serve our table, which was a little annoying...we ordered dessert with one person, and then another person comes to get our dessert order. Overall it was an enjoyable evening with my friends, and would visit again. There is certainly a good variety of meals to try. Cheers
