Have been to Nick's twice. Once for a steak special meal and once for a veal cannelloni meal. For starters I find the menu expensive for what you get. There's nothing special or unique on the menu. The veal cannelloni meal came with a salad (way too much dressing and not much else except lettuce), garlic bread, and 2 tubes of too-firm/dry cannelloni pasta tubes filled with a grey paste - no actual "meat" to be seen (ground veal for example). I tasted it on its own and the veal "paste" was bland and unappetizing. The cannelloni tubes were smothered in a tomato sauce and baked with a ton of cheese on top. If you like "old school" pasta from the 70's, then this is for you. My husband had the lasagna and was similarly unimpressed. Both meals were about $20 which seemed expensive for a basic pasta dish. When we got home we both had to take antacids to kill the tomato sauce heartburn (I tried not to eat most of the sauce but it was hard to avoid.
The one thing that is great about Nick's is the service. The staff seem friendly and helpful.
If I had to go back I'd probably opt for the steak and avoid the pasta, but I won't go back soon as there are too many other good options in Calgary and area.
