Nick's

This was the cutest and quaint Italian restaurant! I loved the atmosphere and music. The staff was super friendly. I absolutely loved the garlic bread/bread given which is freshly baked! My only complaint was the shrimp risotto tasted and looked WAYYY more like the Spanish dish "Paella" than a traditional risotto. I think if we were to go again I would order the chicken parm or something different. My friends liked their dishes!!

Authentically delicious! A cozy ambience, with friendly and efficient service! Our dishes, that included seafood were prepared perfectly. Be sure to get the white sauce... beyond compare! Overall, a perfect A+ New Years Eve dinner!

Having eaten at the Pinnacle Peak location since they opened, their food has always been wonderful. The other night something wasn't perfect so, because that was so out of the ordinary, I emailed the restaurant. I was contacted immediately and after telling the manager of my experience, he thanked me for taking the time to let him know personally. I believe in giving feedback whether good or bad. He offered me a gift card, and I ordered from them tonight. Everything we ordered was fabulous Thank you Nick for addressing my issue in such a professional way. We're loyal fans.

***UPDATE: big management confirmed that the gluten free pasta option is corn // dairy free // egg free. Can add mixed veggies and garlic + oil sauce.

I feel obliged to post about a lack of transparency issue when it comes to ingredients: I was shocked to find out that Nick's marinara has cheese, and shocked further to find out that all the pasta and pizza dough contain eggs, so the menu is essentially a mine field for allergy-restricted guests, dairy free, lactose intolerant, egg allergy folks, and vegans.

The current compromise is a Grilled Vegetable Salad (get it heated up) minus the

These employees working hard. Picked up a good sized order(12 items) with not long of a wait. Food smelled great. My customers apparently loved it too! 😉

Great dinner spot....sit out on the patio and order the grilled eggplant if you like garlic for your app! Loved our chicken piccata and calamari piccata! The servers were great and just an all around five star experience! Can't wait to go back.

I have to say that going out for Italian food is not my favorite since more often than not I end up feeling like I could have easily made the same thing at home. Not so with Nick's, it was very good and although I'm sure that they were understaffed like every restaurant right now, it never felt that way, they were great. We'll definitely be back.

Two veal dinners sent back. Tough as leather. Not acceptable for a upscale restaurant.

Caesar salad was the highlight of tonight's dinner. Took long time for the entrées to come out the Linguine and clams had some heavy smoky unpleasant taste to it and my wife's eggplant Parmesan was nothing special

We are a fan of this Nicks location. They are consistent and have some solid pasta entrees. The chicken piccata is my go to order here: large portions of the chicken and pasta, plus the sauce is excellent. They also provide bread with your meal which has always been good as well.

Other items that we usually order include the calamari, spaghetti with marinara sauce, and the chicken Parmesan. I'd recommend stopping by nicks if you're in the area and in the mood for some Italian food!

Solid spot for a good Italian dinner. Service was a little slow, but over good food, good atmosphere, good people. I would recommend. Have a good one.

We hadn't been here in a while but lucky for us they still made the veal chop my husband enjoys of course it was a little more expensive but delicious the veal marsala was good but I feel I make it better and the chicken dish with asparagus and spinach was good too. Avoid the mussels was over cooked tiny and tasteless the calimari was ok.to be honest try Vicinos calimari and green lipped mussels they are amazing! Also learn how to make a better espresso martini with Kahlua real espresso and liquor.

Food has ALWAYS been good and ALWAYS plenty! I always order the baked ziti but I switch out the ziti for angel hair and it is a phenomenal. You can't go wrong here unless you are one of those really annoying people who can find a reason to complain about anything. This is a great restaurant, and if you leave here hungry at your own fault.

Nikki. Was a joy. The veggie salad with chicken is a must


Looking forward to my trip

I've been really wanting to try Nick's for sometime. Being new in town, I was planning on sitting at the bar alone like I usually do but it was full. I was seated at a high top for 15 mins and besides someone who was not a server dropping off a glass of water, I sat for over 15 minutes without so much as being acknowledged as several employees walked past me several times. It wasn't until I stood up to awkwardly leave that I was asked "can I help you?".

I felt bad sitting at a high top since it was just myself but the hostesses insisted since they "weren't that

The food is sub par,
Meatballs dry no flavors
The Italian sausage was sliced so thin and the skin was rubber.
The butternut ravioli must came from a bag .
Hard no flavor drenched in oil.
Sorry but I did try to look for good but it hard to when food was bad.

The servicer was good .

We visit Nick's every time we are in town and we are lucky enough to get Linda as our waitress every single time. She is awesome and is on it. Plus, the food here is fantastic.

This past visit, we ordered the following:

** Grilled Jumbo Shrimp Appetizer with arrabiata sauce - My daughter loved this and could've polished off the entire plate if we let her. It was split with her and another family member and they really enjoyed. Both preferred the shrimp as is and didn't dip it into the arrabiata sauce. I'm pretty sure we'll be ordering this for her from now one. This

Everything we had was awesome, but the fettuccini was incredible!! The noodles were so thick! We are from out of town, but this will be a staple for any Scottsdale trip from now on!

We were up in the area and received a recommendation to come here. Tables were spaced out well. The food was amazing, we live far away but this would be worth the drive. One person had the Tilapia Piccata, one Penne Alfredo and I had the Halibut. All delicious and fresh. Would absolutely eat here again.

Your food is always wonderful, but when did you start using whipped cream instead of marscapone in your tiramisu? You went from one of the best in town to below average.... very disappointing... downright bad.

Your cannoli remains fantastic.

Don't order here using Uber Eats or any delivery service. I asked for utensils and they "forgot to put it in with my order"
Now I'm eating messy pasta with my hands

Nick's gave us our cheat day during 'quarantine' this past week and it was awesome ! Of course the ONLY thing we could think that would make it better is by having the true dining in experience that we are craving so much now after weeks of this COVID_19 lockdown! One can only imagine how great Nick's will make that when we are all able to safely wine and dine and be out ! IF it's any indication by what we experienced by picking up curbside this weekend we know it'll be amazing ! My husband and I happened to initially be leaving AJ's next door and saw the door

I think this Restaurant should have a five star rating because I've been here like 1000 times and every time I come here the food tastes so great, no better than great amazing. My favorite dish is eggplant Parmesan they always do it so nice and neat I think it taste so good. My brother always gets spaghetti with marinara sauce I think he loves it too. The bread taste so good because Some of the bread has garlic and maybe pepper on it but I always love this swirl bread because it has cheese I think and garlic and maybe pepper.

(Review courtesy of my little girl, but I really can't argue

A good happy hour value (great food) with personable bar service (from Leah) are the sole reasons for the three stars.

I was on my routine when-in-town HH event w my retired neighbors. We enjoyed Chianti and various menu items of cheese ravioli, mussels, calamari, and a penne dish. Food quality was very good.

The bar is nice, and there is a outdoor table seating.

Missing elements:

Curb appeal. Nothing grabs you from the outside to pull you in. I have driven past Nick's a hundred times and I seriously thought it was a defunct restaurant.

Staff engagement 1. Service staff seemed to lack

Honestly you can get stuffed just by eating their bread and a calzone. So yummy. Ask for butter for the bread. There's like 3 different types of bread they serve you and they are all good.

Love the calzone. So cheesy and delicious. It was steaming when it came to the table. Honestly all the food was hot and steamy. Love that.

I got the baked ziti with bolognese. It was good and hot.

My sister got a pizza with sausage and pepperoni.

My brother got the pollo pancetta. It was good but for the money I thought there would be 2 pieces of chicken.

There's a bar inside. There's
