Comment: Went to this lovely restaurant last week to introduce some friends to Greek cuisine and we were not disappointed.
The menu has a lot of dishes that are Italian however (I guess the aim is to give more Mediterranean options?) so I had to narrow down the list of greek dishes for my friends to try.
We had Moussaka, soutzoukakia, pappoutsakia, gemista and souvlaki. The presentation of the dishes did not necessarily look very traditional but once we started eating I could verify that they tasted like the ones at home! The mains could be bigger portions but we had a couple of starters and drinks, so by the end we were feeling full.
Since we were the last group to leave, I had a small chat with the owner and the chef who were very nice and friendly people!
Overall 5 stars for quality of food, ambience, interior design (makes you feel like you are escaping Auckland for a little bit), nice and smooth greek music, service and the smiles of the staff :)

Comment: This restaurant was a wonderful find with the most delicious food that tasted like it was made with love. We shared Greek Dips (3 dips with toasted pita bread) followed by two mains. A rich, creamy seafood risotto - Tiger prawns, calamari, local green mussels, served with rice and topped with Parmesan cheese and
Egg plant stuffed with mince, herbs and cheese, served with Greek Salad. Both absolutely delicious… as were the Greek cocktails. Reasonably priced and generous servings. My mouth is still watering when I think of the food. Thank you, Nicolino.

Comment: A little disappointing, when you order lamb shanks and they are delivered with a steak knife, that is not a good sign, and unfortunately I did need it. Please, the meat on lamb shanks should just fall off the bone. Until we return to pre-covid numbers maybe stick to a fewer dishes done well?

Comment: Great atmosphere, the host is always good quality, and the food is always flavourful, no way is this a fine dining restaurant, but enjoyable and lively indeed

Comment: We felt an urge to bring some "bold and inspiring flavour into our life" (to borrow a phrase from the restaurant's website write-up), so naturally Nicolino's held some allure. We were a bit afraid of the Cube Bar piece in the establishment's name, not knowing what this was or what connection it had to a Greek restaurant, but I knew we needed to be bold. I don't know much about Greek food but I felt it was very authentic and realistic. The plates match the decor in terms of colours and big visuals. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly service and the hearty flavours moussaka and fettucine really hit the spot for us,

Comment: Featured below is the lamb shanks. Went for dinner here with friends before going to a play at the Vic Theatre across the road. My meal was tasty but the service was not that great to be honest. It may have been that it was a Friday night but updates from wait staff on delays would have been appreciated.
