How It All Began
Da Nicola opened its doors in November 2010, but the story goes back much further. Nicola Scarella, our owner and self-taught chef, has been part of the 5 Towns community since he was 14 years old. Starting as a young cook, he spent decades honing his craft and learning how to create dishes that bring people together.
A Place for Everyone
At Da Nicola, we wanted to create more than just a restaurant—we wanted a space where families, friends, and neighbors could share meals and memories. Whether you're joining us for a special celebration or a casual night out, our warm atmosphere welcomes everyone.
What We Serve
Our menu is all about variety and quality. From hearty Italian classics like Rigatoni Alla Vodka and Pappardelle Bolognese to perfectly grilled steaks and fresh seafood like swordfish and Scottish salmon, there’s something for every appetite. For a healthier twist, try our Chicken Meatballs with whole wheat penne or explore our gluten-free options.
Why Visit Da Nicola?
We’re proud to have an estimated health score of 99 out of 100, reflecting our commitment to cleanliness and care. Our stone fireplace in the dining room makes every visit feel cozy, while our bar is the perfect spot to unwind with a martini after work.
Our Mission
At Da Nicola, we believe food is about more than just eating. It’s about connecting with loved ones, sharing laughter, and creating memories. We’re here to provide great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a place where everyone feels at home.
