Nick’s Italian Restaurant

Such an inviting atmosphere. I felt like family, even on my first visit. The food is very well done and the place is always hoppin’. Fantastic little neighborhood jewel!

Fantastic Italian, great service, excellent prices. Must try aristocrat sauce, but their marinara is out of the world as well.

We went to Nick’s for the first time since moving down here. We were really sorry we hadn’t gone 6 months ago. It was very good. The wife had the Chicken Cacciatore. She thoroughly enjoyed it. It was not your average marinara sauce, lots of flavor going on in there. There was a big portion with more than enough for lunch the next day.
I had the Fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp. It was some of the best Alfredo I have had next to my wife’s. She thought it was better than her Alfredo and she has never said that anywhere before.
Pasta was well prepared in both. We shared the Limoncello for desert and it was also excellent.
Service was excellent! Billy was our waiter and he answered all our questions. Our food came out very fast and kept our drinks full. We will definitely be back.

My kids and I love the Calamari. Everything we have eaten there has been great. Nick has a great staff always ready to please. We have been there at least 50 times

Love the pizza and the service! BYOB which is always a great option!
Try to visit this place every time I’m in town. You can’t go wrong here!

This place is amazing great service awesome hospitality and great food love their tortalini alvarini

We were passing through Pilot Point one day around lunch time and saw that Nick’s looked pretty busy. So after checking Unilocal reviews, we stopped in. It WAS busy, especially for a weekday! They offer really affordable weekday lunch specials and my family of five ate for under $ 35. Our meals included the spaghetti, lasagna & tortelloni. Everything was good. And the rolls they serve are delicious! They kind of look like an Italian cinnamon roll, except there’s no cinnamon and it’s savory. The rolls are yeasty and yummy and the server asked us if we’d like more during our meal. And speaking of servers, she was incredibly friendly. When we paid, she asked if we were new in town (not surprising as the owner was walking around talking to everyone and seemed to know all the people there) and we let her know we live 45 minutes away. She said hopefully we’ll see you again. Yes you will sweet lady!

Out-​of-​town visitor and was taken here by locals who call Nick’s their «go-​to» Italian restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive– they treat you like family that they like, not the dreaded Aunt Mildred.
The shrimp scampi I ordered was good, shrimp were tender and flavorful– over-​sauced in the old school way– and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’d opted for more of the vegetable medley in place of the pasta side,…all that sauce would have made more sense with pasta. It’s byob and I’d brought a bottle from California that went great with all that we ordered. We were so tired the following night, that we came back and did take-​out — pizzas, salad, and the stuffed mushrooms in that hopelessly addictive aristocrat sauce!

We eat here quite often. The service is very friendly and the food is excellent. Always worth the drive.

I honestly wasn’t expecting more than an average, run of the mill «Roma» blah food experience. But Nick’s has surpassed that and provided some yummy food.
Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t gourmet, but it is tasty. I’ve been here a few times now and haven’t been disappointed yet. The Chicken Parm is crispy and juicy, the red sauce is always good. The alfredo has been on/​off though. The first time we ate here it was fantastic and the second time we had it, it was rather bland.
Overall, it’s a good place and we’ll make it out go to Italian for the area (not to mention it’s the only place!).

Live 1 minute away! Nick, the owner is a genuine guy and wait staff is awesome! Food is amazing! A local business worth supporting!

Really good… worth a drive and such great service! The bread alone is worth the trip!!!

I was in the area from Tioga and my cousin mentioned Cannoli from here but sadly when we arrived they were closed. Never fear, next day on my way to McDonald’s for my morning coffee I stopped and picked up 3 Cannoli to go. They were shared with my cousin and her husband and they were absolutely delicious. It was about $ 11 for three of them.

Misty’s Manicotti is ridiculously good! The Piccata was a bit salty. Everything else was divine and you can bring your own wine! Friendly servers and remarkable food coupled with the wine if your choice. What’s not to love?

Out riding & stopped here for a late lunch. Everything about the pizza was great. The price wasn’t bad either. You can eat cheap at a Domino’s, but the taste wouldn’t even compare to Nick’s. Got to meet Nick who was going from table to table making sure his guests were happy. There was a large party there for a birthday & it was obvious they enjoyed the service & the food. We can’t wait to go back for some more pizza next time we ride this way! Be sure to stop here if you get a chance, you won’t regret it!

I’m always looking for great food off the beaten path, Nick’s fits the bill. The first sign you’re in a good Italian restaurant is the owner introduces himself to you. Next, you’ve got to be able to see the kitchen from your table. Nick’s score high on both. The food is excellent, I had the veal parm and stuffed mushrooms. For dessert limoncello cake, perfect. No BS about it, if this place were opened in NYC 60 years ago, it would still be there today. Pilot Point, you have a hidden gem!

I tell everyone about this place. It is the best food, hands down, north of 380. Employees are super friendly. The aristocrat sauce is perfection… absolute perfection I tell you! I know Pilot Point sounds like it would be worlds away, but here’s the deal: It is a beautiful, scenic drive up 377 with very few stop lights, and courteous drivers. Watch the horses run, the farmers plow, and enjoy the drive. The food is seriously that good.

Yesterday I had a craving for Italian food. We had heard good things of Aviano in Aubrey, so first, we made the trek down there. But when we got there, they appeared to be closed. So I hopped back on Unilocal and saw Nick’s, so back up 377 we went.
I am so glad.
The food was delicious, the server who greeted us and served us was very nice. I wish I’d gotten her name, but she was taller and had curly hair.
We loved their complimentary rolls. They were hot, fresh and light, and came with a compound butter with garlic and herbs.
We also got Grandmas’ Bread as an appetizer. It was tasty, nice tomato slices on top of soft garlic bread with cheese.
My husband got spaghetti with meat sauce. The portion was sizable and he said it was good. He also ate all of it, which is the more important fact.
I got John’s Lasagna. I do not often swoon over food. I am not one of those food bloggers that talks about bites of food being the best thing ever. However: This lasagna was delicious. Seriously one of the best I’ve ever had. The aristocrat sauce is a simple mixture of red sauce and Alfredo sauce, but it’s delicious. Get the lasagna. You won’t be sad.

The waitress obviously didn’t care about the place. She barely talked to us, barely delivered us water or food. And said she didn’t have change for a $ 5 for the guy checking out in front of us… The lady who delivered our bread was wonderful and came by 3 times. The rolls were amazing… so was the garlic butter
The food was pretty good. Loved the Misty’s Manicotti Pasta. It was very peppery and spicy… and very yummy.
The pizza we got was a meatball and peppercinis… the meatballs was sliced which was weird… and actually just tasted like beef. This was tasty. Although not what we expected.
I would recommend this place, just hope the waitress we had will not be in attendance next time.

Little out of the way street taco places are a natural. You go in because you will usually get some pretty good food. As for out of the way Italian? Well, this is actually better than most.
Nick’s used to be a place called Da Federico’s, but for some reason they changed their name, but the menu seems to have remained the same. I have only been here a few times, but what I have had has been pretty decent. The pizza could use some work, but the chicken parm and the chicken marsala were both pretty good. The tomato sauce is nice and tomatoey and has a good flavor to it. As for the marsala, they use a piece of grilled chicken which is different for a marsala, but it works really well.
I’m not saying you need to go two hours just to come here like you would do some of the finer Italian places here in the DFW area, but if you happen to be in the Pilot Point area and you want some decent Italian, this is a good spot.
Enjoy.
