Nook

“Was in Thunder Bay for an event and found this tiny Italian restaurant. Everything tasted homemade. The entrees and desserts were amazing. The service was great. Glad we found it!Not super kid friendly as we had to ask for a basic dish. The menu is great but the dishes are unique with things kids wouldn't normally eat. They made it work though which was appreciated.”

“Went here for our anniversary dinner and it was amazing. Everything was great and staff were so nice. Our server Dana was fantastic, made our entire night effortless. Her recommendations were spot on we enjoyed everything and it perfectly balanced. Food was delicious and cooked perfectly. Dana was super nice and friendly and even tho it was packed she was on point the entire time. Highly recommend.”

“Great spot! Straightforward modern italian food thats really well executed. Nice atmosphere. The sort of place that you'd go for a nicer dinner without feeling like youd need an outfit change from whatever you were wearing that day. Cool and interesting weekly specials, but otherwise no major surprises on the menu. The burrata and the pizza were particular standouts for me. Will definitely be back!”

“If you’re in Thunder Bay, Nook is an absolute must-visit. We had an exceptional meal here, starting with the Greens Soup. The blend of chickpeas and pecorino was great, but the walnuts were the real highlight—they gave the soup a vibrant, unexpected taste. We also tried the Focaccia, which came with a bean dip instead of the traditional olive oil. It was my first time trying this combination, and it was surprisingly delicious. For mains, the Gnocchi Pomodoro was a perfect, high-quality classic, but the Pizza Diavolo was the true standout. They hide the spicy soppressata between the cheese and the dough, and with the Calabrian chili on top, it creates a spicy taste explosion that works perfectly with the cheese. The service was great and the prices are very genuine for the quality. It stays busy, so I’d highly recommend making a reservation!”

“My wife and I were in Thunder Bay for the weekend and we found Nook on-line. Place was packed but we found two seats at the bar. Marla was welcoming and attentive. Food was amazing. I had the Rigatoni Puttanesca, and my wife had the meatballs appetizer. We shared the burrata, which was perfect. We tried to get in there the next night to no avail, but we are back again tonight. Reservations are recommended. You won't be disappointed!”
