"For 46 years, the James Beard Award-winning restaurant was a beloved community institution, known for its handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and cozy Backroom Bar, a speakeasy-style billiard room behind the restaurant. Nick’s Italian Cafe was arguably the first destination restaurant in McMinnville, known for dishes like minestrone, handmade tortelli, and a popular Dungeness crab lasagna, and has been a supporter of the Willamette Valley wine industry. The restaurant will be reopened by new owners who plan to honor its legacy while introducing some new dishes." - Emily Teel
