SECOND LOCATION, SAME NICO’S MAGIC:
Nico’s Restaurant has officially opened its second Belfast location, this time on the bustling Ormeau Road. Founders, Kristian Nicolo & Stephen Toney have made a significant £200,000 investment into the new 60-seater to bring the Nico’s signature authentic Italian dining experience to the heart of Ormeau Road.
The expansion has also resulted in the creation of 30 new jobs for the local area. Renowned for its authentic Italian pizzas, pastas, flatbreads, and ciabattas, Nico’s Ormeau Road will also feature monthly chef specials, alongside an impressive selection of cocktails, wines, and spirits. Co-founders Kristian Nicolo and Stephen Toney, the duo behind the popular Nico’s Lisburn Road and Hendrix Restaurant in Stranmillis, are expanding their portfolio with this third restaurant. Known for their dedication to high-quality yet affordable dining, their latest venture brings Nico’s signature Italian flair to Ormeau Road, offering a welcoming new space for food lovers to enjoy.
Kristian Nicolo, co-founder and executive Chef, brings his Italian heritage to life in every dish. Speaking about the expansion, Kristian said, “At Nico’s, we’re all about bringing people together with good food and good company. Opening a licensed restaurant on Ormeau Road where we first began 12 years ago is very exciting and a great opportunity to share our passion for authentic Italian cuisine with a whole new community. We’re proud to be investing in Belfast, creating jobs, and continuing to deliver the quality and experience our customers love.”
Stephen Toney, co-founder of Nico’s added, “”Nico’s Lisburn Road has proved to be a popular spot and we’ve always wanted to bring that same hospitality to Ormeau Road. We are delighted to finally open the doors of our newest store and look forward to welcoming the people of Ormeau. We’re excited to bring something new to the food and drink scene on the Ormeau Road. Our investment reflects our commitment to offer a dining experience like no other by expanding the Nico’s brand while staying true to our roots. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to our new location.”
The Ormeau Road location promises the same warm, inviting atmosphere that Nico’s is known for, complete with stylish interiors designed to enhance the dining experience. Whether guests are enjoying a casual dinner with friends, a romantic meal, or a family gathering, Nico’s aims to be the go-to destination for authentic Italian dining in South Belfast. With a focus on fresh ingredients, creative specials, and impeccable service, Nico’s continues to set itself apart as a leader in Belfast’s dining scene.
