Italian cafe with sandwiches, pastas, cocktails & patio
"Every day from 2–5pm, Uncle Nicky’s hosts “aperitivo hour” with $5 glasses of wine, $10 house cocktails, and a central table stocked with free antipasti. Grab an Aperol spritz, then fill up a plate with mortadella finger sandwiches, marinated mozzarella, and pasta salad. Afterwards, you’ll probably be ready to order their very tasty meatballs with marsala sauce to end the evening. The Deal: Free antipasti bar during happy hour (2-5pm daily) with a drink purchase" - nicolai mccrary
"Set along a busy stretch in Hyde Park, Uncle Nicky’s brings Euro-café flair to the neighborhood with pastas and sandwiches stuffed with meatballs, porchetta, and chicken Parmesan, all of which pair well with its crisp salads. The interiors are clean and casual with counter service and a small patio. Save room for a pastry or gelato; don’t forget to fulfill your espresso fix. The all-day/lunch menu starts at 11 a.m., and diners can also visit its location in South Lamar." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Sneak in an early aperitivo hour at this Italian bistro in Hyde Park and its South Lamar location from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Cocktails come with complimentary snacks like marinated mozzarella and little mortadella/mayonnaise sandwiches. Then, there are $10 spritzes, including frozen ones, and $5 house wines. Take your bounty outside to enjoy." - Darcie Duttweiler
"A more casual Austin outpost under the same hospitality group where the chef worked on approachable Italian fare, contributing to his experience in both casual and more formal dining formats." - Ashok Selvam
"The Hyde Park casual Italian cafe with a second location down on South Lamar offers a short but strong sandwich menu. The sandwiches are made with kaiser rolls or house-made focaccia, with fillings like the Italian tuna, meatballs, or the vegetarian-friendly vegetable and lemon. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
