Nico’s Pizzeria Restaurant in Down

hi to whom it my concern, last Friday night 19th July I booked a party of 10 for my wife's 60th birthday. I want to commend the staff that was on that night. From the moment we arrived until we left the staff and food was excellent. Very attentive and pleasant. I arrived earlier in the day to leave a cake, balloons etc for the table. They decorated the table with the balloons & flowers, conversing with me on when to present the flowers & cake to my wife , letting my granddaughter do the honours. I would like you to pass on this Thank you your members and I highly recommend your establishment. so a massive thank you to you and your staff 👏👏

Nicos is home to the best smoking area on the lisburn road .the best smoking area in the whole of belfast...............

2nd visit here, was as good as 1st time. Good atmosphere friendly staff, good service, gets busy early evening, food was very good.

We really enjoyed our evening at Nico’s and received excellent service from Anna. We shared the homemade meatballs as a starter, the best we’ve ever had, and then both made our own bespoke pizzas from the extensive list of toppings available to choose from. What an excellent idea! The pizzas are quite big and were delicious. It was a Thursday evening and the restaurant was full so I would recommend booking. We chose this restaurant as it was away from the city centre but within easy walking distance of the Holiday Inn on Hope Street. We got caught in the rain on our way there so Molly gave us an umbrella from the lost property for our walk back. Great service and a great experience all round! Good vibe and nice decor. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Had a lovely dinner with family on a very busy Saturday evening ) be sure to book)! Staff were friendly and attentive and we all found the food delicious and good size portions too! My vegetarian tagliatelle was delicious. This experience was in stark contrast to a certain Belfast city centre Italian I visited last week which was awful. Will definitely be back.

Just eaten at Nico"s this evening. It was our first time there. Lovely table although i agree with a previous comment about the music being very loud. Service was excellent while ordering drinks, starters and mains. Food was extremely good. The reason why I gave 3 and not 5 stars was that we felt rushed after our maim course. We had only been there 45 mins and knew from the email that we had an hour and a half. I was still choosing my dessert when a different younger waitress asked if we were ready to order. I clearly wasn't as I still had the menu open and was reading it I asked for another minute. She walked away from the table and returned about 20 seconds later and asked for our order so i felt presured inti making a quick decision. We had barely finished dessert, the plates and glassese were cleared too quickly. We werent offered the option for coffee and we felt rushed out the door. iwe spent over £100 so it wasnt like we were just out for a cheap night. t wasn't the calm end to a delicious meal we had hoped for.

Excellent service from start to finish. Very attentive staff. Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend.

Despite all 8 of my friends enjoying their food, the service on the other hand was very unprofessional as one of my friends asked 2 separate waitresses on 2 different occasions could they turn down the music as it was very obnoxiously loud as our table was right below a large loud speaker. The music was so loud we could not hear one another from either ends of the table and one of my friends has hearing difficulties due to support from hearing aids and felt very uncomfortable and upset the music could not be adequately adjusted. On the first occasion upon being asked the waitress replied ‘I will but the manager always says no’ and on the second occasion maybe a manger or supervisor (blonde hair and glasses) rudely interrupted our tables conversation and asked did anyone call the first waitress a very vulgar word which me and my friends would never think of calling anyone a sl*t. This was completely wrong and maybe a slight misunderstanding I can understand but the manner and tone of voice of this so called manager was simply not acceptable as young paying customers and really put me and my friends off their food the entire evening. We will never be back at Nico’s following this incident as not one apology did we receive when we explained it never was said by anyone at our table. It also took us 3 times asking the waitress to receive our 2 jugs of water and waited more than 15 mins before it finally arrived only to receive one.

This was my first time here and I will definitely be returning! Awesome customer service - Anna the manager was fabulous - attention to detail was amazing - I love the way she constantly checks your glass and tops up your wine for you - just the way it should be!! Pizzas were amazing and huge!! And a fabulous selection of pastas, ciabattas and loaded fries to compliment the menu if pizza isn’t your thing. Was amazed by how busy it was mid week and mid month! Was also great to see all ages there and a few birthday celebrations too. Would definitely recommend a trip to this fabulous restaurant Cx

Staff were very attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. We got a lot of food for what we paid for, all at a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend!

2 hrs for 1 course!!! Terrible service I don't plan to go back. Too many restaurants to chose from without the painful wait for food!

Visited with my partner, server was fantastic, my partner thouroughly enjoyed her carbonara, whilst i got the Penne Amatriciana. Best i’ve ever had. Great food and will definetely be back next time in Ulster!

Excellent food and service. Nico’s had a lovely atmosphere and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. I really liked the menu. I’d suggest you avoid the hot sauce dip. It tastes great but it obliterates the more nuanced flavours of the pizzas.

We were here for my partner's birthday this evening. The restaurant is lovely inside, quirky and good music! The food was very nice and staff were very friendly... Would have gave it 5 star only we had a big hair in our starter platter, the plate was replaced but management didn't offer an apology or take it off the bill. Not that we are after "freebies" but it's usually common courtesy to at least acknowledge it. Other than that very nice place.

It’s meant to be a reputable Italian but the atmosphere is like a bar when they let drunk men shout and kids run about it ruins the whole expensive experience

Had delicious food. Pizza was fabulous and the desserts were amazing. Staff v helpful. Enjoyed it all so much . Thank you

We ordered takeaway pizzas but I had a problem with my phone which the staff went out of their way to help. They were amazing, and the pizzas were some of the best we'd tasted. Great place, lovely ambience

First time dining at Nico’s. Extremely impressed. The decor is quirky & warm & the staff were all excellent. The food is to die for! A wonderful experience & will gladly return.

Probably the best Italian restaurant in Belfast. Tried many different dishes over a number of visits and can not fault anything.

Family visit for Daughters 26th birthday, really great food and service, mixture of patrons, couples, family groups young and old. One recommendation I would make is turn the surround music down just a bit.

Booked for 9 people a couple of weeks ago, table in the alcove, just perfect. Best pizzas ever. Service was excellent, very friendly and professional. Thank you.

Beautiful food and reasonably priced. Lovely decor and atmosphere in the restaurant. The staff are a credit to the restaurant also. Would 100% recommend, we will definitely be back.

How has the place got so few reviews? It's amazing. I am not a massive fan of Italian food (mostly because I don't eat pizza) but my husband loves this place and orders takeaway pizza from here every week. We decided to sit in for...

Sat in the outside dining area. Food was fast, reasonably priced and everything was delicious. Will definitely be back.
