Have been eating there since they opened. Online menu shows half orders and whole order. Sat down. Menu said 13.95. Did not say half or whole. I asked server. Do u still have Half? She said yes. Price wasn't on there. Ordered wine as well same order for 20 years. Bill showed for 2 half orders 29 bucks. More then menu shows for 2 whole orders. Manager said a lot of people comPlaying lately After all these years will not eat there that is fraudulent advertising. Pieces of shit. Thanks John. U lost lots of customers.

Incredible chopped chicken salad. It's family run which means you are always given that personal touch. They now have a great assortment of homemade dessert. My personal favorite is their carrot cake. I've been going to this restaurant for over 20 years and have never been disappointed.

amazing food... – The food here is amazing! The bread is so delicious - hot, crispy, and fluffy. It was very addicting. They also shaped the butter into tiny balls, that melted into the bread. Next up was the tortellini with pink sauce. That sauce is so good that we started dipping the bread in it. And there was plenty of bread for us to consume after finishing the our meal.

20 Years – I have been dining here since they first opened. Actually, I am one of the regulars there that works in The French Quarter. Some of us lovingly call it The Company Cafeteria, but they serve you and John and Kate want happy customers. They are wiling to let you make a dish on your own. I asked for Tuna at lunch and it's not on the menu but you can get it. Also I made an Eggplant dish using spinach instead of pasta so it's low calorie and they are happy to serve it. Some of my favorites are any of the fish dishes, T... read more

Yum -yum! Nicola's Kitchen on Ventura Blvd is always hopping at lunch. They are next to several large office buildings and people who work in the area love to meet there for lunch. They have tasty pasta dishes, yummy pizzas and quite a variety of delicious salads. The serve is quick, with friendly staff. The prices are moderate. A favorite for dinner also.
