Nick’s was excellent. The food was delicious; easy to tell each dish was individually prepared. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I lived 55 years in CA and visited many Italian Restaurants I would give Nick’s in Blair thumbs up as the best of the best.

Pasta with olive oil and garlic….swimminnget in oil, little garlic so tasteless..didn’t finish; cesar salad awful! Dressing was a blob of “pink stuff” that may have come from a bottle marked creamy ceasar. Dessert good, scampi good but bread was sliced so thin you could see through it…grandson got 1 breads tickets with soup. Said nothing at the time so I wouldn’t embarras grandson.
