I have been to Nick's twice. I waited to write this review until after my second visit. I went with different people on each visit and our reactions are the same. This place is easily overlooked and deservedly so.
The food: subpar. The free bread they bring you when you sit down is cold, flavorless, and a total waste of stomach space. This would be even more of an offense if the entrees were worthy of stomach space. The dinner salad ($5) is extremely simple- green lettuce with maybe a teaspoon of balsamic with some sliced cucumber and sliced Roma tomato around the plate. The entrees my company and I have ordered are the gnocchi with pink sauce, fettuccine Alfredo, and chicken spinach tortellini. All a waste of stomach space. You have to ask the waiter about which pastas are homemade. The menu says they are all homemade but only the fettuccine, linguini, and gnocchi are homemade.
The iced tea tonight was rancid. Even our waitron recognized that something was seriously wrong. He didn't charge us for them which was appropriate.
The service: standard. Enough said.
Skip dessert. Skip this place altogether.
Hopefully some day I'll find a nice neighborhood Italian place to go to. This isn't it. Twice was enough- won't be returning.
