Nicolao - Menu

It’s a classy restaurant in a classy hotel resort. Meat with truffle was simple and delicious. Absolutely recommended if you want tradition but with elegance.

Nicolao Ristorante was a very enjoyable dining experience. The food was quite good with decent wine and professional service. Staff made us feel very comfortable dining with them.

We visited this restaurantntwice during our stay at the hotel. Impeccable service, a comprehensive menu with seasonal and classic Umbria dishes and an exhaustive wine list make this place a safe bet. Prices are high but adequate for the level of location, service and food. If price is not an issue I would strongly recommend this place.

This beautiful restaurant is absolutely first class. We started with prosciutto and melon, which was superb. Then we enjoyed a salad bar, followed by rigatoni with sausage and peppers. After that we proceeded to have a crusted rack of lamb, which was the best I have ever had. Service of course was also first class. Perhaps the best meal we had in Italy.

We were with a group, and had an abbreviated menu, but that was enough to show that Nicolao was a typical hotel restaurant....not terrible, able to service guests who eat there, but nothing particular to recommend it. I had a pretty good pasta with truffles, and pretty mediocre rack of lamb, plus a very blah salad bar. Only reason to eat here is if you are unable or uninterested to walk the kilometer or so to town

I had a very pleasant dinner at Nicolao as a member of a well known, long established North American based leisure travel tour group. My tour group stayed two nights at the Park Hotel in Gubbio where Nicolao is based. I am NOT, as the hotel 's responder implied, ANY sort of hotel industry colleague. Having said all that, I found along with my 20+ fellow tour group members that Nicolao presents a well balanced menu of grilled meat and hand made pasta dishes. My lamb was very well executed and the service highly professional. I would heartily recommend this restaurant to anyone who happens upon it though NOT the hotel in which it resides.

Nicolao Ristorante was a unexpected treat during a recent whirlwind visit to Gubbio. Tucked away within the Ai Cappuccini Hotel, it is worth the detour. You can't go wrong staying with their classic Umbrian specialties (some revisited, some just the way the always were prepared, but presented in the contemporary setting of this modern restaurant), but make sure to come hungry. Liked my antipasto, and loved my two primi, sorry, no space for a secondo, but the pear poached in saffron from Gubbio with homemade ice cream was not to be missed. Excellent service, perfect wine pairing (even just by the glass) and I loved being surrounded by other Italians. Would definitely come back!

We were truly wowed by the dishes so much so we went there twice in our two-night stay. The homemade cappelletti in chicken broth looked simple but took our breath away with its umami. The pasta with truffles was done delicately and the taste was just simply luxurious. The fresh pasta with Gubbio saffron and sausage was just as mind-blowing. For mains, we had the lamb stew and the boiled meat in its sauces. The lamb was not gamey at all. It was so good I wished there were more pieces! The boiled meats were soft and light and matched really well with its sauces. The portions were just right for me. They are not hearty portions but that allows one to try more dishes. You get foodgasm just eati...

We are a cycling group who frequently stay at the Park Hotel Ai Cappuccini for vacation and have the pleasure of dining at Nicolao Ristorante. Adriano and his team present a very warm and welcoming atmosphere; entertaining the group with their service. We usually have 4 courses and as the cycling guide, I have had the opportunity to try a variety of each course. To highlight my favourites, Eggplant “ Parmigiana” with mozzarella and tomato sauce, Risotto with fresh asparagus and cherry tomato, Veal fillet with Gubbio black truffle sauce and Pistachios Semifreddo with hazelnut strawberries sauce. All these incredible dishes combine excellent flavours of the fresh local produce and are wonderfu...
