Nick's Italian Ristorante

“Just visited Nick’s Italian and had to share, this place is a gem. The atmosphere is phenomenal, with a vibe that feels authentic and welcoming without being over the top. The service was great from start to finish, and the cannolis were absolutely on point. If you’re looking for Italian food that isn’t the typical commercial, cookie-cutter experience and want to support a spot with real character, great food, and an amazing atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go.”

“Great vibe for a date night. Service was great and quick. We enjoyed the dinner but the fish seemed a little overcooked. Will definately come back again. Glad we are getting good food in northwest Meridian!”

“We were recommended Nick’s Italian Restaurant for a family birthday dinner, and this was our first visit—but it definitely won’t be our last. From the moment we walked in, the place felt cozy, welcoming, and nicely decorated. Right away, I was impressed with our waitress. Her customer service was truly a step above—attentive, kind, and genuinely caring, which is something you don’t see as often these days. Before coming, I looked over the menu online and saw they had paella. At that point, I stopped reading because I already knew what I was ordering. When it came to the table, it was a huge portion loaded with seafood and chicken—shrimp, clams, mussels, and just the right amount of spice. Honestly, it was one of the best paellas I’ve had outside of the Basque Block in downtown Boise. Everyone in our family really enjoyed their meals as well, and to top it off, our server surprised us with a tiramisu for the birthday celebration, which was such a thoughtful touch. This is absolutely a place we’ll be coming back to—even if the only thing I ever order here is the paella. Highly recommend!”

“Super impressed. First time I’ve been here. Did a little research before and it’s under the same management as Barbacoa which means there were similar food items. My family group of 4 were seated quickly with our reservation. The service was quick, friendly and informative. The gentleman that helped us was great. We ordered two appetizers. The zucchini was fantastic. The sauce even had some kick to it. We then ordered some salads, steaks and noodles. I ordered the hot rock steak and it was so 100%🙌🏽 One thing you can’t go wrong with. The sauce was amazing. The wedge salad was out tasty. We are definitely going back to try more of the Italian styled foods they offer. Thanks for the great service on Christmas Eve.”

“Our first time here, and it was nice! Our server was great and the food was good. However, we spent about $60 on 4 cocktails that were sake based. They do not have a full liquor license and it seems unfair to charge the same price for a cocktail that would have hard alcohol in it. We also ordered the $20 chocolate cake TO GO- which came with gelato- so I checked with our server to make sure it was on the side (just in case it melted by the time we got home). Which she confirmed it was. Getting it to go, I guess I assumed it was going to be in a separate container? Instead we got home and it was melted- all over the teeniest tiniest $20 cake ever! We heard alot of good things about this restaurant, but unfortunately, we did not see what all the hype was about!”
