Our group of girls had a nice dinner at Nick’s! The burrata with tomatoes, beets and apples was the perfect starter. I got the roast chicken, which was juicy and perfectly cooked. But the winning meal at our table was the fusilli primavera with marscapone cheese sauce. Highly recommend!

We found this place after walking out of another Italian place where the menu didn't at all match what it showed online, and stumbled across Nick's. We were checking out the menu outside and Nick came out and told us about his restaurant, his favorites, and how he'd love to have us as guests. We sat down, ordered the chicken flatbread which was excellent, I ordered the Veal Antonio which was exceptional. The veal was cooked perfectly, seasoned to perfection, the breading was light with great flavor, and the aged balsamic on the plate was a great touch! My brother and sister in law got the tagliatelle which they both very much enjoyed. The service was out of this world, and the food was even better than that. This is easily some of THE best Italian food I've ever had in my entire life, if n

We had such a great experience at nicks!!! Everything we ordered was amazing and had great flavor. We ordered many different things for the table but what I really loved was the chicken. Since we ordered many different things I had most of the chicken boxed up because I was so full. Once we got to the car I opened the box and ate some chicken. I normally will take leftovers and leave them in my fridge until trash day. This was the first time I’ve ever ate food I took togo before I could even get back home and was still quite full. I definitely recommend getting a reservation here and trying a few different menu items as everything we had was amazing.

i only took one photo of our meal and it’s just the appetizers, however overall this was a great experience! the menu isn’t too large, but there’s a good amount of classic dishes to choose from. there are a handful of good options for non meat eaters too! to start off, we ordered the smoked salmon crostini’s and the burrata, which were both very delicious. definitely shareable if you’re looking for a lighter start. we hadn’t really eaten all day so we cleaned all of our plates! for our entrees we got the raviolis and the wood fired chicken. both dishes were beautifully plated and tasty! i felt the dishes were well seasoned and all of the flavors worked very well together; my singular note on the food is just that it could’ve used a touch more acidity. a squeeze of lemon or some added zest

Loved it! Our meal was incredible. Our friends had the delicious garlic cream sauce gnocchi, pepperoni and house made sausage pizza and the Bolognese pasta- everything was was amazing and cooked perfectly. The pizza was Napoli style and they nailed it. My wife and I had the wild boar ragu pasta and the Veal Antonio. Both dishes were outstanding. I wish I had more room because the Braised pork cheeks that came out to the table next to us looked soooooo good. Must come back for that one! The service & server (Rachel) was also excellent, friendly and very knowledgeable. We had a great time! Thank you
