Nick's Italian Cafe

We are visiting McMinnville and a friend recommended Nick’s. It did not disappoint. The food was absolutely amazing and the staff beyond friendly and accommodating. I ordered the halibut and it was delicious. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next night and ordered pizza. Unbelievably good. Every dish we saw coming out of the kitchen we wanted to try! We will definitely be back and highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Italian with a modern twist.

We went two nights in a row because the food was that good—between the half chicken, halibut, and pizza, everything was beautifully cooked and plated. The highlight was the chef came out to personally check on us and talk about the menu. You can really taste the pride and passion in every dish!

Great atmosphere for date night... We have the oysters to start out which were fantastic succulent with that habanero sauce made them even better, and for main courses we had the veal cutlets and the skirt steak highly recommended.. We will be back

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.

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.

Nick's is a great place to visit whenever in the McMinnville area. Wonderful food and prompt service. I only wish on the weekends they were open a few hours earlier on the weekends.

We really liked this cute, little restaurant when we visited. I would definitely return. The service in the bar area was so friendly and welcoming, and the food was great!

Ordered a Margherita pizza to go, went into the bar to not disturb the dining room. Female brunette bartender with glasses helping only one gentlemen at the bar with one two top and an empty room acted like I was inconveniencing her by asking to pick up my pizza and sent me to the front. My Margherita pizza was a cheese pizza with huge tomato slices and a few over cooked torn basil pieces. Had no flavor did not taste wood fired the crust was far to thick overall disappointing I had hopes for the reopening will not be returning, if you can't do something that simple right.

What a gem in Oregon Wine Country. Congratulations to the new owners who reopened this restaurant. My first visit did not disappoint. Great cocktails. Great food. Great ambiance and a remarkable team. Exceptional. professional, and friendly service. I have already booked a return to bring friends. A new favorite.

Good happy hour for food and drinks! The food at happy hour is good portions (pizza, fries and clams and others) and classic drinks were mixed right. We enjoyed a date night there. Never went to the previous place/previous owner's version so can't compare but enjoyed food and drinks there tonight. Pizza was good, it is more of a puffy/bread crust (not thin) and came with delicious garlic chili oil that was great to dip crust in. Attentive service!

First time here. Remember friends telling me when I was new in McMinnville I must try the bar. Then covid and closures. Happy to finally get here. Great cocktails (thank you Nick) and good bar foods. Loved the Cesar, husband enjoyed the bolognese. We'll be back!

The food and service was great! The prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity. It was the perfect date spot for us and we managed to snag a table right after opening. While we were seated we did hear them turn people away as they had to hold tables for reservations. Aka make a reservation if you have to go there.

My sister and I met in McMinnville over the holiday weekend to visit our father. We ate dinner out for four nights. Nick's had the best combination of quality food and service. We all loved our entrees ranging from salmon to steak to artichoke pasta. The cocktails were on point too. Our server Brian provided the best service we had while dining in McMinnville. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism, friendliness, and engagement with customers. Thank you Brian! We can't wait to have dinner at Nick's next time we are in town.

The staff were accommodating and the restaurant was inviting. My opinion is that for the price, this restaurant could be a little more generous with their portions...even being on 3rd street in McMinnville. The price also invites extra criticism. The pasta dish we ordered tasted burnt, even though it didn't look like it was. It was also dry/starchy/al dente ish but could have been better if there had been more sauce to absorb into the dry pasta. It was also saturated with micro greens that were not enough to mask the burnt flavor....still not sure where the burnt flavor came from. The pizza was ok...got tired of tasting and feeling the excess flour that was still on the crust. The steak was ok, and cooked to requested temp, but scant and basic in a space that insinuated it would be better. Would probably go back if invited, but wouldn't recommend it.

Their pizza, over priced for the size, very salty, maybe it was the pickled onions and gorgonzola cheese combination? The crust was dry but chewy, how does that even happen? The Caesar salad had a furry anchovy on top. $50.00 for a small salad, small pizza and one cocktail, so not going back,

Great cocktails Sat in back bar Pizza for dinner Other guests has pasta Nice deserts Noise Needs art on walls

Nicks just reopened under new ownership in the last couple weeks. Last evening was our first time back. We have been coming to Nick's since it started around 40 years ago, having loved every meal. Not so much with this lastest meal last evening, although we wanted it to be as good as before, sadly it was definitely not. Our hope was that with the new owners, that some of Nick & his mother Georgia's original recipes would still be served. We were disappointed. First, the famous minestrone soup was inedible. It tasted like someone spilled black pepper into it and all I tasted was hot black pepper. Then, the peas and green beans in the soup had a bit of crunch to them, which was not pleasing. The minestrone just did not have that wonderful flavor that it was always famous for at Nick's. On a better note, the Caesar salad was great! There was no complimentary bread served which used to be a regular delight. The Shrimp Scampi was good. The Bolognese was lacking Italian flavor and my husband, who is Italian, said he'd give it a 5 on a scale of 1-10; just "ho-hum." There is no pinot grigio on the menu. We were told by our waitress, that they are just serving Italian wines. Well, to our knowledge pinot grigio IS ITALIAN WINE! They offer lots of chardonnay, which we do not care for. I wanted to order my favorite dish, the spinach ravioli, which was always on Nick's menu, but sadly it was not offered. At this point we "might" return, but it was not a "wow" and there are frankly better restaurants in this lovely town in which we live. Before we left, we checked out their "back room" where they serve more casual fare. Sadly the famous hamburger was no longer on the menu.

Very disappointing. I've been to the original Nick's several times and the reboot needs a serious boot to get it going. The famous Nick's minestrone was pathetic - only slightly better than Campbell's soup. Cesar and risotto were fine, but not stunning. Cocktails took forever to come out and then all other other dishes, soup, salad and main, arrived all at once.

Wife and I came in for dinner while on vacation. Nick (not the namesake) was our waiter. He helped us pick out a nice local pinot noir which we really liked. Wife ordered the parpadelle with 3 types of mushrooms. It was a bit rich for her but I loved it. I got the chicken parm which was very good but the spaghetti underneath was more than al dente (hard in spots). Caesar salad to start was good, but could have used some more dressing. Chocolate Mouse was decent but uninspired. Service was slow, which is surprising given 7 tables were full while we were there. We really wanted to like this place given its history. There is a lot of good going on here, but needs some attention.

Pizza and pasta were delicious. The Cacio & Pepe absolutely wonderful- but the portion was quite small. This menu item definitely needs more of it with a couple of sides.

Service at NIcks has always been hit or miss, but you could always count on the food being great. Not so much on our recent visit. Risotto for me and short ribs for her. My risotto was much more like a soup; way over cooked. The short ribs, what there were of them, were good, but only one small rib along with a mass of fat and gristle. I think this will have been on our last visit to Nicks.

Nice ambiance, good food, lovely attentive waitress and I would go again. Good place to bring company but add extra time to peruse the interesting stores around there.

Food is terribly overpriced for what you get. Service could definitely use some improvement. If you are not a rich looking white person you will be treated as second class. Save your money and go elsewhere. I would never recommend this place. It's McMinnville not Portland. Quit trying so hard.

Our first dinner back at Nick's after it is reopened. Salad was delicious crisp and fresh, pesto, pasta, flavorful, and white, and the clams and linguine were terrific. Highly recommended.

Impossible to order from. They don't do pizzas to go so ended up ordering a couple pasta dishes to go. Items were completely wrong. Veggie dishes that had beef, etc. Expect better from a place on 3rd street.

We went to Nick's on a Thursday night (when 3rd street is completely closed to traffic, love it) and sat outside and enjoyed a wonderful meal. We started with a bottle of Loire Cab Franc and it was absolutely delicious with the entire meal. For appetizer, we got the steamed mussels and they were to die for. The mussels were one of the biggest I've ever seen and they tasted absolutely delicious in the well balanced tomato broth. For mains, I got the tortelli stuffed with mushrooms and ricotta and my husband ordered the pork and spinach ravioli and they were both extremely delicious. We had the hardest time choosing a dessert as they all sounded amazing, and ended up going with the creme brûlée (came highly recommended by the waiter and we had seen almost every table order that), and we were not disappointed. The sugar was caramelized sugar had a nice bitterness which worked very well with the smooth vanilla custard. Overall, we loved dining at Nick's and loved the people who work here for their very honest recommendations of both food and wine.

We walked in without reservations and we were able to sit in the bar area. I had a side dish, the cauliflower as an appetizer. It was uniquely delicious. My husband had the artichoke & there wasn't much to it, but tasty. Their olive oil is definitely one of a kind. The type of olive oil you'd find in an Italian restuarant. Surprisingly, my husband had the burger. He enjoyed it. I had the pork dish which showcased three types of pork, all delicious. The star of the dinner was their Italian margarita. I only drink margaritas everywhere I go and this one was so good and not sweet even though they add a splash of amaretto. We all taste 'sweet' a little differently,...I'm not a sweet tooth and rarely eat sugar or desserts. Hope you enjoy!

I took my grandparents to Nick's while they were in town after a previously pleasant experience. It was during the crazy heatwave and we were grateful that they were open. They had no AC that day which was a bummer since it was 100 degrees outside, but oh well, things happen. We ordered the rigatoni, the ravioli and the sausage pizza. The pizza had a nice flavor but was cold by the time it reached the table. The ravioli was underwhelming. The worst of it, however, was the rigatoni. It was bland, overcooked, and all around awful. The sauce was barely noticeable, very watery, and unappealing. Could've done better with a jar of sauce from the grocery store. Overall, 2 stars for the pizza and the bread service before the meal. 0 for everything else.

What a nice find on our trip to McMinnville. Very upscale Italian fare at fair prices. The restaurant is small, but here's a tip, you can sit in the bar/Italian deli next door, have a nice local glass of wine and still,order off the Nick's menu. The food is luxurious and all pasta is made by hand in house. We had the soft and pillowy ravioli gently stuffed with ground pork and spinach. Dredged in a subtle butter/sage sauce and dusted with Parmesan, the flavors were outstanding without being heavy. If pasta is not your fave, we had an amazing lemony game hen with charred broccolini. So succulent. The staff was kind and informative. Get a spot at the bar off the main bar that faces the street for great people watching. Great experience.

Hours day open Weds 5-9 but stopped by tonight around 7 and it was closed, it was a Weds.

Having been a little too preoccupied with the offerings of other establishments on 3rd street last Friday night like wine tasting and live piano for example, we popped into Nick's a little on the late side- 20 minutes before closing. Upon entering we were immediately greeted by a very friendly hostess and I told her I understood that we had arrived a bit late and didn't want to put them out, given the proximity to closing time. She thought nothing of it and sat us right away with a smile. Shortly thereafter our waitress Johnna showed up at our table and pleasantly listed the night's specials and asked what we'd like to drink. We ordered a couple of Oregon microbrews as well as a Caesar salad, the spinach ravioli and their ostensibly famous crab lasagna. We were soon provided with some delectable homemade bread and perhaps the purest and tastiest extra virgin olive oil we've ever had. We felt bad for Johnna because we kept asking for more. And more. It was obvious she didn't mind in the slightest. Then our food came. Holy hell. How often have you all gone to a restaurant and been blown away by pasta dishes? We eat out a lot and have found it's challenging to have that experience. Not at Nick's. They've been open since 1977 and it's clear why that is the case. My wife's ravioli was beyond tasty, and that crab lasagna- fuhgeddabout it. It was the most flavorful and memorable pasta dish I've had at a restaurant in I don't know how long- I relished every, single, bite. Every last detail of our dining experience that night at Nick's was beyond reproach. The ambiance, the music, the help, the service and the swiftness, the quality of the food, - all of it- my wife and I can't for the life of us understand why this place has just 3 and a half stars...wtf??? We tried a couple other higher-reviewed restaurants in this town and they simply don't compare. Like I said, we eat out a lot and at the risk of sounding like a know-it-all, we do know what we're talking about when it comes to quality restaurants. This place is the cat's pajamas. And a big shout-out to our server Johnna, what a lovely lady and incredible server! We've already been recommending this place to our friends and family, and we can't wait to go back. Treat yo'self peeps!!!

Pros:friendly waiter, good drinks, tasty chocolate torte (think almond joy) and the radicchio salad was good Con:main entrees were disappointing. I had the hen which was on the dry side. The vegetable was overly charred to the point where I felt like I was eating a cigarette. I ate 1/3 of the hen and then nothing else. My partner said his pasta was so-so. Overall we could've probably made a better meal at home but it was nice to get out of the house. I have had their minestrone soup previously which was good.

Food is phenomenal. Crab lasagna is soooo delicious! Amazing staff. Meghan served us this time and she was fantastic. Despite being the bartender, as well as the server for the side room, which was packed, she somehow managed to be incredibly attentive and personable. Also, Her cocktails are superb!

We visited Nick's based on the recommendation of our concierge. It may have been built up too much. Our experience was fine. They recommended the "famous" burger and crab lasagna. Both were fine but nothing extraordinary. It did seem like a good value $100 for our meals with a bottle of wine. After visiting with other locals they indicated this used to be a much better place so maybe adjust your expectations and it will be fine. It's good but not great and there are a number of other local options in McMinnville we'll try on our next visit.

Delicious food! As a vegetarian that hates mushrooms, I was a little concerned that I wouldn't find anything to eat, but they were super friendly and made me something off the menu that was absolutely amazing! I would hands down go there again the next time I'm in MAC! And the crème brûlée was to die for!

Very good food in a casual atmosphere. The tagliatelle with ragu was delicious, so was the Dungeness crab lasagna. Good Caesar salad too. Helpful staff. Would return.

Great food and staff. Always a pleasurable experience even during Covid. One of the top restaurants on McMinnville's famous 3rd Street. Their Italian dishes are served to perfection. If you want the best burger in town, it's here! Yup! You read that correctly. I need one now!

Couple hours ago had the BEST restaurant meal I'd had in a long time, at Nick's Italian Cafe. How can you make ravioli dough (spinach ricotta filling, with sage butter sauced) so thin and light? This has been on the menu since Nick's opened 42 years ago, his grandmother's recipe. Excellent service. The puttanesca sauce was fine, the taglatelle and the breads. Were going to eat at another place in McMinnville, coming back from the coast, and there was Nick's, which I've been hearing about for decades. All the indoor tables were reserved, but was such a fine night to dine outside! Such a great dining experience!

The food and service is excellent at this restaurant. It is located in a good spot on 3rd Street and we enjoy going to this restaurant on special occassions.

We had the opportunity to dine at Nicks and thoroughly enjoyed our evening! For many years we drove by the restaurant and never ate there - one day we decided to make reservations and dine and we were pleasantly surprise! I was expecting a typical Italian restaurant that was opened in the 70's. What we found was quite the contrary. The food is quite refined - had the mussels, cooked to perfection - radicchio salad which had great flavor - two of the four pastas ( ravioli and sausage/spinach and tortelli with shiitake mushrooms. So delicious!! All pastas are homemade. Finished with a killer flourless chocolate cake. Our server was quite professional, calm and friendly. On a side note - service was a little slow as Mc Minnville is still recovering- so give them a break! Thanks for a great evening Nick's.

Not bad, but not good. Probably better choices but it sufficed. The service wasn't as bad as many of the other reviews made it out to be. But it was a little off. Our waitress was kind of dipsey and forgetful but she hustled. The food looked nice but was bland, bland, bland. I started with 1/2 dozen raw oysters which had horrible texture and taste. I only ate 2 and they kindly removed them from the bill although I didn't request it. My wife had tagliatelle which was cooked right but the sauce was bland and watery. I had a pizza with anchovies that, except for the anchovy flavor, was quite boring and bland too. Skip it.

*** JBF America's Classic (2014) *** #7 *** 3.5 stars for this James Beard America's Classic. My experience was a lot different than that described by others (great food with bad service). I found both the service and food to be pretty good, and it was a much more upscale experience than I was expecting (white tablecloths to boot). The previous reviews appear to be mostly to be for the back room, which is more casual than the front, complete with a bar and pool tables. It is nowhere near being "divey" but more of a Buca di Beppo type vibe. If you want to enter the back room directly, you can do so from the alley, but you can also walk through the front of the restaurant (although it is a bit awkward to do so), which has its door on the main road next to a Mexican place (that was quite hopping when we walked by). We were actually a bit disappointed when we saw the white tablecloths and upscale vibe of the front room; we were kind of expecting a hole in the wall type place, a secret gem that the JBF had discovered. But we weren't about to let that disappointment alter our experience, so we moved on to focus on the food and wine. WINE - The wine list is out of control. I don't even know how many bottles of wine are on it; it covers the entire back of the menu. But since we didn't want to drink an entire bottle, we were very limited by their by-the-glass selections. With only 3 reds from Oregon available by the glass, those were the three that we tried. Two of them were okay and one was better (the Libra) but none could hold a candle to the Pinot Noirs of Santa Ynez. I'll have to keep hunting for a comparable Oregon wine. MENU - The menu changes by season and day. Ours was marked "autumn" and "Sunday". Some of the things we'd seen pictures of were disappointingly not available (dungeness crab lasagna for example). APPETIZER - These was a seasonal special, a mixed mushroom medley served in paper, that was divine. It could have been a smidge hotter (it was warm when it came out and cold by the time we finished it) but because I love mushrooms, this medley of various types of mushrooms was still wonderful. The bread is an additional $2 and you have to ask for it. It's served with olive oil and nothing special, but we ordered some to go with the mushrooms. PIZZA - The salami pizza was 5 stars. Up there with the best pizza that I've ever had. The salami is house made, and it is thin and cut like pepperonis on the pizza. It is VERY thin, Italian style pizza that is not greasy at all. There is just the right amount of chili flakes and parmesan to complement the salami, which is crispy but not burned. The pizza is perfection. We had a leftover slice that I brought home on the plane as a carry on and ate the next day for lunch, and it was still divine. MAIN - Our main was the chicken stuffed with its own sausage. I think because we had asked for our meal to come out in parts (appetizer, then pizza, then chicken), they waited to bring it to until we were done with our pizza, and it was barely warm by the time that we got it. Not sure if that's what took away from the dish, but it just wasn't that great even though the description had sounded amazing. It came with a small side salad that had chicken in it, and that was better than the chicken itself. Not a bad dish, but not a great one and I wouldn't waste an order on this. DESSERT: The profiteroles that we got barely had any ice cream in them (very different than the picture that I had seen) and were really just pastries covered in chocolate. Profiteroles are my absolute favorite dessert so I was a bit disappointed. Also, my bf had told them it was my birthday but they didn't put a candle in it or do anything special. Also a bit disappointing. It wasn't too expensive of a meal at $97 before tax, but the only thing that blew me away was the pizza. I'm sure that the crab lasagna is also spectacular, so I would come back for the pizza and to try that (if it is available) should I visit Willamette again in the future. I probably wouldn't drive out there from Portland just to eat at Nick's again, however. TIP: If you are driving out from Portland to eat here like we did, try to arrive in McMinnville before the Evergreen Aviation Museum closes... they have an amazing collection elegantly housed (including the Spruce Goose). Unfortunately we arrived after the museum closed, but drove down and took pictures of the Spruce Goose when we saw it from the road.

Oh Nick's, you have been wooing me for a good long time and now I have finally succumbed to the wooing, I dare say it was worth the trip. A friend once said to me, Nick's, you can't afford Nick's and neither can I. (I think that was said in jest) However, I found Nick's to be as affordable as any place in Portland that offered such tasty delights and winery choices. On this Saturday for lunch we walked in and were seated quickly. Nick's is a small place so I would recommend for evening meals, etc., that you make a reservation. However, we were lucky on this day and there was seating. We started off with a bottle of white wine from a local vineyard in the Yamhill county area. The name escapes me right now but I have a picture, which I will post. It was nicely priced for wine that you obtain in a restaurant. We both elected to have a salad and then share a Gorgonzola and pear pizza. Oh my word, the first bite was delicious, I could not believe the flavor paring was so delicious. Coupled with the white wine it was wonderful. Service was quick and prompt and they mentioned they have what they call the Back Room for cocktails and such in the evenings. Nice little bar atmosphere for those wanting a libation in the evenings. All in all worth the trip and under $90 for two for lunch. This is not a Subway folks but it's very tasty. Located directly across from the Crescent Cafe you really cannot go wrong. I'll definitely be back to enjoy this top drawer establishment.

Here abides the pinnacle of Mount Puttanesca and the zenith of ravioli. Pinot that was so good we had to go buy several bottles from the tasting room down the street the next day. House cured olives, we nearly drank the brine until we remembered we had bread we could dip in it instead.

This was just my second time eating at Nik's but both times the food, the service, the ambience and the wine have been just outstanding. Such an unassuming place but I would recommend it over any other Italian places I've eaten at since moving to this area. Truly fantastic...do not leave without getting dessert!!!

Greeting- yes Vibe- Napa Service- not good Parking- street BR-two units Price- expensive Food Table bread is good Meatballs were ok. Only 3 in order Tortellini in brodo was fresh and tasty Hanger steak $28 small piece of meat WIGB? No Small portions. High prices. Slow kitchen. Lacking in staff and service.

The flavors were good but the portions for the price are atrocious! $42 for three meatballs, 10 small tortellini and a simple salad. Are you kidding me? One reason to choose Italian is that it fills you up. I was hungry again fifteen minutes after this 'meal.'

We did not have reservations; but there were lots of open tables. Was told there would be a 5- minute wait so they could prepare a table... right! Food was very good, although the flavors were not what I anticipated. I had the spinach and pork ravioli. The flavor was great, but was more of butter than spinach. Meal was expensive. Should be $$$, not $$.

Honestly, the food was the problem here. Which for a restaurant is not a good thing. There wasn't quite enough of the ravioli - and I struggled to find the pork. The charred broccoli rabe was so incredibly bitter it was practically inedible. The service was good and my water remained filled, but based on the food I would not come back here.

Great meal for the four of us. We spent a very leisurely dinner there, ordering one course at a time, and service and timing was excellent. Every dish was very good, the olives, Caesar, mussels, game hen, tagliatelle, and pork, but the stand out to me was the ravioli. After spending a year of my life making commercial pasta, I know a great hand rolled dish when I see one, and indeed it is delicious. This was the third time eating here for me, I visit McMinnville once a year, and two of my companions eat there regularly, and give the 'everything on the menu is great' recommendation.

Excellent quality food! Flavors are on point! We had the charcuterie board, mussels, sausage pizza, radicchio salad, steak, game hen, crab lasagna, chocolate torte, creme brûlée and chocolate and vanilla gelato!!!! Everything ass delicious!!! Service was fantastic even on a 90 degree hot day! Highly recommend this wonderful spot in Mac!

Tried to have dinner here tonight and closed! Major problem with Oregon restaurants not keeping posted days and hours open! Wonder why so many go bankrupt?

This place is a wonderful family-owned and handcrafted establishment. The food is exceptional and you can really tell how much time and care has gone into it. I especially love the atmosphere of their bar/deli around Christmastime, the jazz and decor makes it feel almost magical!!

Found it by hazard on a Friday night. The front room was full and buzzing. Everything looks good. Fortunately we know there is a back room which is more a bar type place compared to the front one (restaurant). It seems also the menus are different but not 100% sure. I had the tagliatelle with peas and pancetta Delicious pasta, home made but the pancetta was in an homeopathic dosage. The wine by the glass local wine was great but minimal: 4 Pinot noir and 3 whites however many Italians. Now on bottles selections: many locals Pinot noir. Back room also very noisy. Bottom line, try the front restaurant and make a reservation if possible (not sure it is) but a must try.
