Very authentic Italian restaurant! Great location if you are coming back from a long day of wine tasting. My top choices were margarita pizza, bianca pizza, and lasagna. We enjoyed the outdoor side walk seating since the side walk wasn’t too crowded. Our server was really nice and attentive during our dining experience.

My good friend and I enjoyed a delicious and refreshing drink at Nick’s bar before having dinner in the main dining room. It was my first dining experience at Nick’s Italian Cafe and it was a very pleasurable one at that. I ordered one of the evening’s specials, Butternut Squash Ravioli, and was delighted with my choice. It was delicious! Accompanied by restaurant-made bread and a meatball on the side, I couldn’t have been more pleased. Needless to say I also enjoyed a 2nd drink since the 1st was so good. It was called Winter Coat. The service along with each staff member that interacted with us was top notch. I can now see why Nick’s is a popular choice when it comes to selecting a special night of dining with family or friends.

Great service. Wonderfully seasoned foods. The sauce on the meatball appetizer was a great arribatta creamy sauce. The hen was crispy and juicy.

Lovely restaurant. I think the appropriate rating would be 4.5. The mushroom toetelli was awesome, but the polenta wasn’t properly salted, though the beef short ribs made up for it. Great Italian wine. Oysters were ok, not memorable. I’d definitely come back.

Carmen the owner makes the pasta everyday and it is some of the best I have ever had. The Tagliatelle is luxurious. The meatball appetizer the best. The bread comes out of a wood fired oven, amazing!

Amazing food. The pizza was delicious. Crust was perfect. Tortelli and ravioli to die for. Amazing wine selection. Friendly wait staff. Prompt, courteous service. Reservations are recommended, but not required if you show up early.

What a wonderful meal we had at Nick’s Italian Cafe! Outdoor seating and social spacing made the evening a great and safe dinner destination. We each had the beet and arugula salad with goat cheese and vinaigrette. We shared a pizza and had dessert with coffee. Really great atmosphere and terrific service!

Nice little spot in McMinville with pleasant service, stylish interiors, and an interesting menu. Some improvements would make this place stand-out and justify the price:

Delicious fresh Italian food is definitely Nick’s. Good atmosphere, homemade everything including pasta, fantastic drinks menu and good service. My only complaint would be the wood chairs are insanely uncomfortable for my behind. Awesome desert sensation as well. Recommended
