2 Things– We came in with an 8 top of indecisive people on New Years Eve. It was beyond busy. They had reservation after reservation coming in, basically everyone was a regular. Our server was overloaded, but kept us attended to– the food was phenomenal, the wine was delicious, we even had fun poppers with games in them and were joking around at the table. The ambiance was lovely. It was a place that would make you want to come back simply because the people around you were enjoying themselves. I had the lasagna, a friend had the fettucine, boyfriend had the bolognese, dad had the veal, boyfriends dad had the piccata and everyone was satisfied. Would recommend ten fold.

Food is always superb and service is excellent. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you receive. We always come back and are never disappointed.

I have been eating at Nick’s for over 15 years. Their entire menu and customer service are second to none. I highly recommend the fresh salads, chicken parm and tasty pizzas. Multiple locations make it easy to partake in their delicious dishes.

AHHHMAYYYZIIINGREALITALIANFOOD! I’ve had a little bit of everything, and it’s all been delicious, it’s the real deal. It’s a small cute little Italian restaurant and I love the authenticity of it. As soon as you walk in you can tell the food is going to be amazing, the staff is beyond great they will go the extra mile to make sure you have a great experience. It’s so close to home it’s hard not to stop by.

Love that this is a locally owned neighborhood restaurant! Tucked away behind a Circle K, it’s somewhat unassuming. Still, I have enjoyed all the pasta dishes I’ve orders here! But mostly I like that there are so many regular patrons and it really feels like a comfortable spot to hang just down the block from your house.

Nick’s is a small Italian Restaurant that serves up a long list of dinners, pizza and house made pasta. The night I was there a long list of specials were offered and many of them were seafood. You can sit inside or on the dog friendly patio. As soon as we were seated someone gave us an abundant basket of assorted breads and many condiments. We were told by the other couple we were with that the salads are very large so we should split one so my husband and me split a Greek Salad. Just like they said it was large and worth splitting. For dinner I had the Salmon and Vegetables. The salmon was fresh tasting and cooked nicely. It was topped with lots of cooked tomatoes and some basil. The vegetables on the side were crisp and fresh. My husband had the Shrimp Diavolo. He said the shrimp were overcooked but the house made pasta was good. The other two people really enjoyed their meals and this is one of their favorite restaurants in Scottsdale. The service was above average. I thought our server was very accommodating to our table. The food really was A-OK. This is a positive review. I’d go back.

I come here fairly often with my family when we’re hungry for good italian food. I’ve tried a lot of the dishes — specials, pastas, pizzas, etc. though being a simple guy I do end up getting the chicken parm a good percentage of the time. Always tasty, super cheesy, with a nice sauce. The staff is friendly and remembers you, dine in service is nice and they’re good about carry-out orders and always make sure you walk out with a side of bread with your order too. My Mom, who uses penne bolognese as her dish standard for comparing italian restaurants likes Nick’s the best in the area. A good spot for sure, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to a friend.

I’ve eaten here many times over the years and after tonight I won’t be back for a long time if ever. I ordered take-out and they gave me the completely wrong order. I had to drive back and the manager offered for me to wait for the other customer to bring back my food… Last time I checked that’s not sanitary. I had them make my food over. The manager offered to give me a beer while I waited but no discount off the order they screwed up on. He proceeded to give me a coupon for next time I come in for a free appetizer if I buy 2 entrees. Not! Don’t order take out.

Had my hubby pick up food on his way home from work based on the reviews. We both got the baked ziti, unfortunately it was pretty dry. Neither of us cared for it. Since it’s my birthday we also ordered tiramisu(we have a sick kid, so we are stuck at home)…it was decent. I have to say I was so excited to try Nick’s out… it was expensive for the quality of food. Maybe the food is better in the restaurant but we won’t be coming in. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

Seriously the best Italian food in the valley. Gnocchi is fantastic, lasagna awesome, tiramisu is the best, and I hate tiramisu!!! You have to check it out. Meatball sub for lunch is so good.

First date with my man here over a year ago. Still great food. Really happy with this place especially since we both are gluten free

Great pizza, nice people, and overall good food. The place is small, and they seem to be busy a lot so the wait times aren’t great, but whenever I’m in the area, I always check them out. I think it’s their sauce, but their pizza does have a distinct flavor, which is good. It can get a little loud in there, but I like the authentic Italian feel that it gives.

Poor excuse for Italian food! I’m thinking these reviewers have never had good Italian! Try basil and garlic bistro down the road and I guarantee you will not go back to nicks. The sauce was horrible, tasted like a cheap diner. Bread was cold. Nothing special at all. Only gave 2 stars for the extensive wine list and knowledgable server.

Our family had been excited to try Nick’s, as it received strong reviews. Alas, we found our experience lacking on many levels. The space is tiny, crowded, and sparsely decorated with rudimentary tables and chairs. The service was tepid. After waiting 30 minutes, our food hadn’t arrived, and they still hadn’t even brought a bread basket. They had run out of rolls. When the bread did arrive, it was the spitting image of grocery store French bread. Disappointing. When the food finally arrived, it was merely mediocre: globby messes of pasta and sauce where everything tasted the same. All that being said, I think we must have caught them on a particularly busy night. However, if you want to keep up with the chain restaurants such as Maggiano’s and Carraba’s, you need to do better than this, Nick.

HORRIBLE! STAYAWAY!!! Last week I placed an order in person for catering for about $ 150 and pre-paid in FULL. I went to pick it up and they said it I had not paid. After some phone calls and negotiating, they admitted it was their mistake and they were NOT friendly about their own error. Then I get home and there is no dressing for the salad. It’s not like I have salad dressing in the fridge for 20 people! They said I could come and get it. I asked if Nick would deliver it, as he was there when I picked up the order. The girl said, «That’s not gonna happen».

We had dinner here last night with some friends and I’m raising my rating by one star to three. Everything I wrote about in my original review is still present and I agree with the Unilocal’er who thought Nick’s as over rated at best. The wine list is sad, with only three choices of Italian reds, all Chanti. No Barolo’s, Valpolicella, Sangiovese’s, or any super Tuscans. I do realize that chantii is made mostly from the sangiovese varietal, but a simple sangiovese would have been nice. Where Nick’s has improved in is their fish offerings and the baked Lasagna. Both were very good. But their meat Lasagna, which is made with a flavorful Bolognese sauce, was delicious and worth a trip.

Best Local Italian Food, Best Staff and Ambient in North Scottsdale. Nick is always constant in food and flavor and service. Our most favorite local hot spot for sure.

Got a touch lost one day and happened to drive by Nick’s and decided to give it a go for dinner that night. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Chicken and my fiancée had the Baked Ziti with Sausage. Get the Ziti if you order either of these two dishes. The Fettuccine was very al dente, which some prefer — but it was almost to the point of under-cooked and close to crunchy, not my thing. The Baked Ziti on the other hand was very good. The sausage on it was cooked perfectly and the noodles didn’t taste nearly as under-cooked. If you order only one thing from this place get the Tiramisu! That dessert definitely put this place back in play for us to return. It was light, airy, delicious and not too sweet or too mocha-y. My non-coffee drinking fiancée loved it and my addicted coffee self loved it too! Overall: B–(with a huge A+ for the dessert)
