Nick's Italian Cafe

We thought this place was alright but not great. The breadsticks were okay, but parm isn’t a great choice of cheese to melt on them in that quantity and the marinara just didn’t taste good. We also got the tasting menu, Caesar salad was normal, the risotto was great, as was the chicken, and the dessert profiteroles were dry snd tough.

This is the closest thing to authentic Italian pizza I’ve found in Oregon thus far. The crust was flakey thin but not floppy. The mozzarella was fresh and flavorful. The tomato’s were fresh and bright. All of the flavors in this dish were combining to create a wonderful experience overall. The staff was also amazing and being able to see into the kitchen at the bar was an experience in itself. You can see how much care and dedication each and every person puts into their work at this place. 100% recommend to anyone who drives through McMinnville or if you just need a place to go.

Very disappointed they haven't brought back the Signature soup, Minestrone. Salad was large with lots of shredded cheese, tasty but no croutons or bread. Margarita Pizza also quite large but dough was Really Tough and tasteless. HIGHLY recommend Capo across the street for Superb Pizza. Desert of vanilla ice cream with espresso was extremely small. Rosmarino's in Newberg Definitely has great pizza and definitely better desserts. Ice tea glass really small needing several requests for refills. Not sure why s carafe couldn't be left on the table. My guest was very pleased with the Italian wine selection.

Service was friendly but didn’t confirm if I wanted entree or sandwich and automatically assumed the $32 rockfish pasta entree. The pasta and fish was so oily and there was very few capers in the dish (which was the only flavoring besides the garlicky oil.) I couldn’t eat it all due to so much oil. Needed a vegetable or something to help add complexity or some kind of acid like a lemon wedge. Wish I was more clear with my order because maybe the sandwich would have been better.

We were very disappointed in the new Nick’s. My parpardelle has brocolini as the vegetable which overpowered the pork. Pasta was overcooked in both our dishes. Meatballs were bland. Service was decent, although it took a long time for our meal to come out after the appetizer. Husband said beefaroni is more flavorful than the dishes here. Get a pizza if you go; pasta dishes aren’t worth it.

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.

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.

Pretends to be a fine dining establishment but falls short. Service was slow, food took a long time, we weren't checked on, and our drinks were never refilled. I ordered the pepperoni and italian sausage pizza which was very tasty and straight out of the oven. Hubby ordered the 16 oz NY strip with roasted potatoes. His food was lukewarm, the roasted potatoes were cubed hashbrowns, and over half of his steak was fat. For a $55 meal, we both expected more than that. When we brought it to our waiters attention he said it was normal and everyone always just eats the fat. He was incredibly condescending and didn't take any steps to rectify the situation except day he could take 5% off the price of the steak. The people next to us had issues with their food as well. Their pizza came out raw and their pasta was cold.
