Le Nicoletta - Saint-Germain-en-Laye

I don't understand the high rating. The service was so bad, wine was bad (we tried a few , my husband had hair in his pasta and the food didnt taste good at all! Maybe save you time and money for some place you can enjoy : cheers!

We happened upon this location almost by accident... wanted a place close to the hotel that was reasonably rated. When we arrived and saw the Italian menu we almost left (having just spent a week in Italy , but we were tired and the decor was very interesting so we stayed. We are VERY happy to have made that decision! Our waiter, Hamdi (fantastic service! gave us some background and history of the restaurant (menu changes every 2 weeks for fresh, seasonal, local ingredient updates . We had a delicious starter of fresh vegetables, which was refreshing and light. Main course was truffle pasta (to die for homemade and very large portion. I wish I could have eaten it all! For dessert was tiramisu that we shared between 2 but it could have fed 4. The chef has a pastry background so (even with starters and main dishes being excellent this was the highlight of the meal. And then we received an additional serving of chocolate caramel panacotta OMG!!! Sooooo good. I have to go back when I return!

This restaurant offers mainly pasta that are well cooked and with a genuine Italian taste. Wide choice of Italian wines as well. The downside is the success of this place. The room is small crowded and when full quite noisy. Booking was not well managed so we had to switch tables during our dinner. They offered us a free digestive which was appreciated.

We had a reservation but when we came the reality was different! Unfortunatelly nobody in the restaurant was helpfull even after showing the email correspondence confirming the reservation. So be carefull. By lucky we found a mexican one with great food snd great people! The mexican was full but as they knew what happened they help us! This is the big difference!

The food was excellent, but considering the price, I expected a nicer place (ended up rather noisy and crowded).
