Nikolas Cafe

Best food around NewFreedom! Fresh ingredients, home made food! Moved here 1yr ago and by far the best food in town!

Out of the way, not much to look at, tremendous food! As a general rule I normally go for the specials. I was not disappointed today! Sauteed calamari with capers and green olives as an appetizer. A great choice… Shrimp and scallops marinara over linguini. Very good! The salad was ho hum, but adequate. Tiramisu was superb. BYOB with a choice of glasses for wine and or beer. Rebecca’s service was excellent and I will definitely make the trek down Old York Road again.

Bottom Line Up Front: Don’t miss out on this local authentic Italian restaurant. Any of the brick oven pizzas are sure to keep you coming back for more.
My experiences are based on take out but I plan to dine-​in in the near future. I’ve ordered mostly the brick oven pizzas and have had the Italian Cold Cut sub. Brick Oven Pizzas are why I keep coming back. I’ve had the Smoked Salmon (my favorite), Rustic Hawaiian, Capricioso, and Quattro Sagioni pizza. Each time I’ve had their pizza it has been spot on as far as appeal, freshness, and taste. The food has always been ready at the time of pick up and staff are courteous and professional. The menu has plenty to offer and is unique enough to standout from the other Italian restaurants in the area. Can’t wait to go back!

I’ve lived all over and have dined all over. For the past year, I have been living in Glen Rock, PA for work-​related reasons and will admit, it is not the hotbed of Foodie Nation.
A friend of mine has taken me here twice and I have enjoyed it each time. It really is a hidden gem in this little area.
The service is wonderful as they welcome you as a part of the family. I am a vegetarian whose favorite food is not Italian, but I’ve enjoyed everything I have eaten here. The speciality pizza with artichoke and capers is so good and the eggplant stromboli is excellent. Their spinach pie was one of the best ones I have ever had. They use very fresh ingredients, which makes a huge difference. I would prefer they were organic, but hopefully that can be added to the menu soon.
But a lovely little place that I can definitely recommend.

Nikolas café is a hidden gem. It’s a charming italian café thats big on portions and flavor. It is a small restaurant but it has an intimate feel and very friendly staff. My family and I have ate there many times and have never been unhappy. You can’t go wrong when ordering one of their specials. Ive never had the same thing twice and am always pleasantly surprised. P. s. save room for one of their delicious homemade desserts, you wont want to pass them up!

My wife and I have eaten here twice now and we love the cozy feel of the establishment. It is kind of small so it can get crowded quickly. They have a good size menu with daily specials for lunch and dinner. I have had the shrimp salad sub which has been awesome every time I’ve gotten it. It isn’t too heavy with mayonnaise like some places I’ve had it and it is perfectly spiced unlike some places where can be dry or overly wet with out flavor. We have had the shrimp pizza which is also excellent. The crust was cooked just right which gave it that crisp when biting into it but it was not overly cooked nor under cooked where it would seem doughy. The hamburger sub is great too.
If you are in the area and want to try a nice little place, I’d recommend this place. You might see me in there if you do.
Thanks for reading my review. Remember this is just my opinion.
