Had a nice light dinner here. With a view of the passers by on a saturday evening. As an entre hade some bread wirh buterry cheese and the followed with the shrimp/seafood with rice and washed down with a class of white wine. Wonderful. Nice and friendly servers, very helpful in helping us with menu selection. Seatings were full and rather crampped otherwise, it was an enjoyable dinner experience.

If I could rate this place more than 5 stars I would! Absolutely amazing service from Carminda, we came here a few times and everytime were greeted with a warm friendly service and delicious food! Cannot recommend anymore ! Must must try! They have cute heaters and blankets as well so you can enjoy the outdoor atmosphere in winter.

This corner cafe was exactly what we needed after our long overnight flight! Our host, Carminda, was extremely attentive and very sweet. The food was amazing! The coffee was very much needed. We highly highly recommend you try this place! Sit on the patio and enjoy the bustling plaza :)

Stopped by this nice outdoor cafe across from the Praca Dom Pedro IV for breakfast. Our server was extremely nice and came by to check on us often. Great place to grab a coffee, or 2 before you head out to explore.

This is a historical cafe with an interesting story. You can read it in the picture. The waiter that served us was kind and funny. But there are so many signs all over the place that photos were not allowed. I wanted to give it 5 stars but one waiter was pushing a beer keg in and literally pushed me to the side. I don’t need to be touched and an “excuse me” will do. What we ordered was a Pasteis de Feijao. I found it interesting because its filling is made with navy beans but it was sooo yummy! It would be nice to sit outside but we chose to sit inside because of all the smokers.

Was there on 12/9/24 for dinner. service was good provided by the night waiter. The salmon cooked well.Waiter was polite. This restaurant blatantly requested for tip.( pls note) We went again the next day for lunch but the waiter was rude ( black and wore in black suite) was adamant that we seated in a tight corner sit despite the inside restaurant was empty. We left looking for another restaurant.

Carlos garçon funny. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nicola, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we were seated, the ambiance of the restaurant set the tone for a wonderful evening. But what truly made our meal stand out was the impeccable service provided by Carlos, our garçon. His attentiveness and professionalism were unmatched, making sure we had everything we needed while still allowing us to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. The food itself was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. From the appetizers to the main course, everything tasted fresh and expertly prepared. Nicola’s menu offers a perfect balance of creativity and classic flavors, and every bite exceeded our expectations. Carlos's recommendations were spot on, and his knowledge of the menu and wine pairings was impressive. His warm and welcoming demeanor added a personal touch to the evening, making the entire experience feel both elegant and comfortable. If you're looking for excellent food, a great atmosphere, and top-tier service, Nicola is the place to go. I’ll definitely be returning soon, and when I do, I hope to be greeted again by Carlos's fantastic service. --

I ordered the “Salmon Rice with Prawns,” and it was fantastic with a generous portion size. The waitress was friendly, and the service was prompt.
