Welcome to Nicola's Ristorante Italiano, the award-winning restaurant in Plano's The Shops at Legacy.  After ten years at the Dallas Galleria, Nicola's relocated a few miles north to continue satisfying metroplex appetites for authentic, hand-made Italian cuisine.

Its opulent, theatrical design features a sophisticated bar, romantic, high-backed booths, al fresco dining on the patio, private dining room for fourteen, and a stunning mezzanine overlooking the main dining area for the best people watching in town.

Chef Luciano Salvadore's Northern Italian cuisine is authentically prepared in the venerated traditions of his mother country.  All pasta is hand made on-premise, using traditional shapes not commonly seen in American restaurants. There are no freezers in this restaurant, and groceries are delivered twice a day to insure only market-fresh ingredients are prepared.
