About

There are a multitude of Italian restaurants in The Valley. They are what we classify as American Italian and are good at what they provide. If you seek true Northern Italian Cuisine then Nick’s is the place for you. The recipes are 3rd generation from The Old Country as Nick’s Nonna Delmonte came over on the boat landing at Ellis Island. Nick grew up on these recipes and holds them near and dear to his heart and soul. So next time you think Italian/think authentic Northern Italian not American Italian. Light and flavorful Veal Picatta or scrumptious Chicken Marsala…….the way Nonna Delmonte created it. Nick’s Cousin Dominic still owns and operates a Ristorante in Montaguto just outside of Naples so the recipes are intact.

Food was good service was good. The staff was getting pretty rude towards the end of the night. The restaurant close at 10 so at 9:45 they Rushing us out. No hard feelings I understand, but if I’m sitting here enjoying my cocktail That I paid for

We go here for special occasions and the food and service are wonderful. We always make a reservation because the dining room is very small. There's a cigar bar but somehow the dining room is completely smoke free; I wouldn't go there otherwise.

My husband & I came here to celebrate my birthday. It was our first time and it did not disappoint. Every table was set with candle light, glassware for: water, white wine, and red wine, linen napkins & table cloths. Glasses that will not be used are removed from the table. I highly recommend making a reservation as many, if not all, of the tables were clearly reserved to celebrate birthdays or anniversaries. The waitstaff has no desire to “turn & burn” tables like you’d see at many other restaurants. At Nick’s you are encouraged to sit back and savor your meal. No part of your meal will be rushed in any way. I had the Veal Parmesan with sun dried tomato risotto. It was a very generous portion. My husband had the Beef Wellington, which was the evening’s special, with grilled asparagus. Everything was delicious. We will certainly be back! A final note, card payments incur a processing fee. If you pay with cash you avoid that fee.

First time in a long time that I’m eating a restaurant with 5 stars. Laurie was a sweet hostess who escorted us to our table. The water-waiter was very attentive and made sure we always had water. Joey was an excellent server. And the food was great. It was an excellent anniversary dinner and I can’t wait to come back!

We had a group of 6 for a birthday party. The food was great! The service was on point. Thank you Joey! And we had fun! I ate the chicken marsala with mashed potatoes and asparagus. I also had the bread pudding!!! I tasted some of my neighbors Alfredo, too see if I was gonna take some home, it was delicious also! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a fun date night or a night on the town with the girls. We have attempted to eat here before, but they STAY booked, I was surprised and happy that we got to get in for the date we did. Definitely check it Nick's!!

Truely one of the top tier places to eat in Huntsville. This is the kind of place you go for a very special occasion. The food is amazing, your server is so well informed and attentive, and the dark ambiance is wonderful. There is one very important thing to mention. This place is very close to the golf course, and there is clearly an aristocratic crowd of regulars. What this can feel like at times is moments where regular patrons get priority treatment. Im all for making your return customers feel at home, but if the goal is to promote the place and invite new customers, it shouldnt feel like its a privilege to eat there. Its a small gripe, but one people should be aware of. Everyone is very friendly, but stuffy too.

December 20, 2024

The smell of cigars was overwhelming and our salad that was ordered came out incorrectly and our steak was sent out rare when we asked for medium cooked. The time to serve us was dragged out which made us want to just leave without receiving a corrected meal as it took close to an hour and a half to receive the original meal. I would not recommend this location to anyone as this was our first and last time.

Drove 14 hours today to be able to experience Nick s for the first time ever. It was worth every mile! I had lamb appetizer and lamb entrée. They were both beyond delicious. Best lamb Ive had since moving here from Australia (20+ years ago). Great service and amazing food. The Bombe Alaska was the perfect finale for our dinner.

My wife and I are foodies and have been to almost every restaurant in Huntsville. We were excited to have a date night dinner at Nicks since we hadn t tried it. The food was good, service was decent, but the key thing that stuck out here is that the quality of the food wasn t worth the price. The pricing was in line with other fine dining such as Cotton Row, but the quality wasn t nearly as good. In reading some other reviews after the fact, we re not the only ones with this opinion. These are once a year anniversary meal kind of prices, but not once a year fantastic food. Don t get me wrong, the food was good, it just wasn t worth the price we paid. For instance, I had the filet ordered medium temperature and it was most certainly medium well to well done. I didn t complain as we had waited for approximately 30 mins for the food and I didn t want to have to wait again. The flavor of the steak was pretty good, but for a $50 steak, the temperature should be correct and honestly the flavor shouldn t be pretty good it should be fantastic (just my opinion). The service was subpar for what a fine dining establishment should be. We probably talked to our server 3 times the whole time we were there, and after we received our food he did not check on us or ask how the temperature of my steak was. When we arrived, the restaurant was very busy and we chalked up the iffy service to that, until the restaurant cleared out almost entirely and the service didn t change. However, the hostess who greeted and seated us was fantastic, very cordial and nice. TLDR: food is pretty good, but not worth the price. If we re spending this kind of money on a meal, there are better places for it.

In from Montgomery for my birthday, and we were able to get a last minute reservation and the atmosphere was great. Service was very slow and unresponsive. The food was outstanding, and was looking forward to stepping next door for cigar and drinks, when we finish dinner, walked in to the bar at 9:20..and the bartender was about as rude as he could be, I asked for a drink and he said it was last call...the website says the bar is open til whenever...when I pressed on he became more rude, Great restaurant, but might be time to have a conversation with some of your staff members.

This is a cigar bar with a dining area, but the entrance to the cigar area is through the non smoking dining area. It was ok until people started going in and out of the cigar area. It really started messing with my asthma. The food was ok. I had the ribeye and it had a lot of fat on it. The room is too small for someone to play a saxophone but they did.

December 22, 2023

My reservation was written down on the wrong day. Only the second date night my wife and I have had in 2 years. We got a babysitter and drove 45 mins to be told we booked the wrong day because the person that writes the reservation down always repeats it back . Maybe text or email confirmation of reservations would be beneficial. Either way it s an honest mistake but the 1 star is for no accountability and essentially placing all blame on the customer.

We had shrimp cocktail, lamb lollipops, the porterhouse with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The only critique would be on service to be sure to identify sauces to the guest and bring serving spoon with shared dishes. Overall fantastic 5 fine dining!

We have eaten here 6 times. Service is always prompt. However, the food (for the price charged) is mediocre. If Im paying $35 for a plate of pasta, I expect it to be amazing. Each time we have dined, someone in our party orders a steak. Have yet to get one cooked properly. They either over or under cook it. One person ordered steak tips and mushrooms from the lounge menu. The item was barely warm. Filets ordered were way undercooked (ordered med rare, should be warm pink, center was cold). Even after sending it back, it still came out undercooked, but the outside was almost black. Side items ordered with meals came out wrong. Unless you order from the lounge menu, you will not get out of here for less than $100 for 2ppl (2 drinks, 1 appetizer, and 2 meals). Try it, see what you think. Maybe your experience will be better than ours. I know others who love it. For us, we have given them 6 opportunities, and mistakes were made every time. We probably wont go back.

Naturally I referred to Reddit for the best steak in Huntsville and every thread had the same response: Nicks. Skeptical because it was almost too on the nose for reviews but to my welcome surprise, it was indeed a fantastic ribeye. The salmon was on point as well. And despite only having one server, Roger, the service was spectacular and we will be coming back. And asking for Roger. Nicks is doing the Lords work.

Very unsuspecting place. I found it on the internet. Drove an hour and twenty minutes to get there, just to find it in a small strip mall. Given we had made the drive we decided to give it a chance. The service is amazing. Reservations are a must, so plan accordingly. The ventilation is on point for the cigar lounge. I cant say enough how great of a place it is. The last time we were there, the live music was very good.

Summary: Mediocre food, below average ambiance, price is not justified. I normally would not rate a restaurant after just one disappointing experience unless serious mistakes were made, but the hype and $168 bill for an appetizer, two chicken and vegetarian entrees, two glasses of wine, and tax and tip and a $4.95 convenience fee that was never explained, has me still disappointed days later. Ambiance: Upon entry one is greeted by the strong smell of nicotine. The drop ceiling panels are spray painted black, and the lighting is not inviting: a random mixture of warm yellow bulbs and colder white track lighting means there is glare on the laminated menus and foreheads are shiny. The restaurant is small, and most seats are uncomfortably close to the entry door or the open kitchen door, r have your back against a wine glass cabinet. Everything is dated and it seemed smoking is allowed behind a curtain separating two halves of the property. Based on ambiance alone I would not visit again. The food did not align with the price. The compliemary bread was lackluster and served with butter but no olive oil. The wine selection by the glass had many budget choices but if youre looking for a even a slightly nicer choice it will have to be by the bottle (for example, even the rather pedestrian La Crema Pinot Noir - Sonoma Coast was by the bottle only). Surprisingly, Italian wines did not warrant their own section but instead were interspersed in the Other Reds category alongside Zinfandels and Rioja. The entrees were the real let down, especially given the hype assigned to this restaurant. The Chicken Picatta was average, the broccoli tasted of butter and lemon in the way you might expect from a more humble restaurant; the Egg Plant Parmesan was thick and heavy and lacked any character, so too was the risotto. We skipped desert, not wanting to extend our experience. Service: polite and professional, but on the slow side. Many people around town have cited Nicks as the best Italian restaurant, or maybe even the best food in Huntsville, but I just didnt see it. For Italian Id rather eat at Mazzaras; or if you just want fine dining Purveyor or Cotton Row are both tastier, more modern in cuisine and decor, and better justifying their asking prices. Parking: Free parking in strip mall parking lot.

We were very excited to go to Nicks after reading the reviews and seeing them boast about the cut of steak they serve. The service was great, but the food was mediocre. We both asked for medium cooked steak. My ribeye was medium well to well done. My wifes filet was medium rare to rare. I would say a third of my ribeye was cartilidge that was unedible. The big shock was when a sauce was served with my ribeye, the sauce was terrible. Also my parmesan risotto was crunchy and had a funky cheese taste. We dont recommend anyone going here and spending the money that they charge.

Its a trip back to 90s luxury. Yes the food is good to great considering the fish, being a long way from the coast, was near excellent with some island-ish accompaniments. I think they are known for steak, which was also excellent. They had great Halloween decor. Smells like cigars from the adjoining bar, under the same name. If the cigar smell doesnt bother you, its worth a trip. Go early because parking was terrible, circling for half-hour to get an unmarked parking spot

The best of the best of the best. The vibe and the feel of this restaurant is what you would expect of a locally owned fine dining establishment. Only its more. The relaxed bar area has you waiting on Norm to walk in at any moment. The dining room experience was that of a high end country club yet with personality. Even the dishwasher seemed to have received some kind of formal training with respect to hospitality. These folks pay attention to every detail so you dont have to! Wonderful amazing delicious comfortable. Amazing spot. BELLISSIMO!

December 22, 2023

Very beautiful inside and very clean. Then it went downhill. we entered through the bar area, the bartender asked if he could help us, and we told hm we had reservations. Then he questioned us, Here, Are you sure you have reservations here? Yes, we do, him OK was it smoking or non-smoking? Non we think, Then go through that door. we were seated for almost 15 minutes until our waiter finally showed up, we ordered drinks and then waited another 15 minutes to get them. we ordered as soon as he put our drinks down, so we didnt have to wait longer. After another 15-20 minutes he brought us out salads and one lobster bisque. The bisque was horrible, couldnt eat it. Tasted like creamy tomato soup. so, then we waited for our meal. it came out finally after a half dozen other tables were served, we were the first one in the dining room. I had the Chicken parmesan and garlic mashed potatoes. The chicken was very good, the potatoes had so much garlic in them that no one could eat it. even one of my companions tried it and had to agree. During the meal the same companion asked one waiter three times for some cheese for her pasta, and he flat out ignored her or pretended to not hear her. asked another and he said OK and then left, never came back with anything. Asked the other one and he said, For What? she My pasta him You mean cheddar? I said No Parmesan he left and when he came back. he just put it on the table rudely and turned around and left. I would say it was overpriced dog food but I wouldnt feed it to a dog i didnt even like. Will not go back.

The staff were all very kind, personable, and attentive. The menu had lots of unique menu options that you don t see very often at other restaurants. Many of the entrees come with a salad. Most restaurants will just give you a choice between a Caesar salad or a garden salad but at Nick s you can choose any of their menu salad options to accompany your entree without an additional charge. The reason why I can t give it an five star review is that the dining room did have a smokiness coming in from the cigar bar. You also have to walk through the cigar bar to use the restroom. This may be a problem for those with asthma. I would like to end this review on a positive note because this was truly the best steak I have ever had. At also want to add how fabulous our waiter, Joey, was. He was the only waiter and he attended each table with such grace and skill.

My husband asked me to find a decent steak restaurant for myself and our sons birthday back in February. Our son was visiting and it was a perfect opportunity to celebrate and experience a finer dining establishment in our new city. I had heard from a couple of folks to try Nicks for the best steaks. After looking at their website I knew that we were going to a restaurant that has a smoking section and a none smoking section. What I didn t know was that they don t have a separate ventilation for the two sides, there isn t a clean sealed off door, because the two sides share bathrooms and drinks are prepared in the smoking side. Soon as we opened the door to go inside the none smoking section , the tobacco smoke is strong and heavy. This is in the lobby areas where very one hangs their coats.. it s even worse once inside the second set of doors. Once inside, we were greeted by the hostess who confirmed we were in the none smoking section. The smoke was so bad, I was already to leave and head on down the road to any burger joint. We decided to go head and have dinner there as it was now 7:45 and we didn t know of any other nice places to try at the moment. We all ordered the same meal ribeye steaks, salad and baked potato. The salads were good, but small. The steaks came out luke warm, and over cooked. I had in my mind a hot sizzling steak not! The potatoes had obviously been cooked earlier in the afternoon, they were turning brown from sitting and again, not hot as all. The butter was still sitting in the potatoes unmelted. Overall, I can t recommend this place, unless you are a smoker. The place is a dive for smokers and drinkers. The food quality is terrible and the high price did not match the quality.

We celebrated our 15th anniversary at Nicks last night and let me tell you it did not disappoint. Honestly I cannot believe we have never been here. The building is unassuming but that stops at the door. From the moment we walked inside you could tell that this restaurant was unlike others. It was dimly lit, dark, rich wood decor that gave us the feeling of being in a old Chicago steak restaurant. Our server, Keith was top notch and gave us glorious recommendations and every one was spot on. My steak (filet mignon) was cooked perfectly as well as the scallops. My husband had the bone-in ribeye and it was perfect and flavorful. We also saved room for dessert and had the chocolate creme brulee and tiramisu. Again, it was like heaven. At no time did we feel rushed and we had adequate time between all of our courses to enjoy conversation. My only somewhat complaint would be that if you are sensitive to smoke, please request to be seated as far away from the cigar room door as possible. We did not know this and were right beside it and there is a strong smoke smell in that area. I am super sensitive but we didnt say anything about moving. I just noted it for next time. Other than that minor thing, I cannot say enough good things about the food, service and our experience. It was fantastic.

Celebrated my anniversary here and was glad we did. I love they acknowledged our anniversary. Even though you put anniversary on the reservation most restaurants wont acknowledge it, we actually got a card service was excellent. Food was excellent, drinks were good to. Was a little disappointed not to have a cocktail menu, but the amaretto sour I had was excellent. Was also nice to get pasta as a side, this gave me the meal of wanted, filet mignon and linguine in Alfredo. Definitely come back when Im in Huntsville again

Extraordinary! Looked to have a good steak meal in Huntsville on a Saturday night. Everything we checked in the way of higher-end dining was booked. Ran across Nicks under 10 best in Huntsville. It absolutely was in the top 3 potential. Very happy to find this place! Wife had the Flank Steak and I had the bone in Ribeye. Both were awesome. Zero regrets... Ive seen several mentions of the smoke from the cigar bar. Wife is sensitive to this and she wasnt bothered at all. Also had a Sinatra style singer and the volume of the music wasnt overpowering at all. It was perfect and he was quite deft at the art. STRONGLY RECOMMEND this place!

I recently visited Nicks Ristorante for a small business meeting and their location was chosen since they are a fellow Tradebank of Huntsville Member with a great reputation. This was the first time Ive eaten at Nicks Ristorante but I will say that I was highly impressed. It is more of a fine dining experience than casual, although casual wear is acceptable. I had the Ribeye with grilled asparagus; the steak was cooked to perfection (medium) and one of the most tender ribeye steaks Ive ever had. Our waiter, Roger, was excellent; very attentive and made certain we were well taken care of, he is a real professional & true asset to the Nicks staff. After dinner, I was stuffed but couldnt turn down the intriguing Baked Alaska. The dessert was great as well, and the flaming ice cream on the table added to an overall great experience. I would highly recommend this establishment for very small, private business meeting (more 1 on 1 than group size), but especially for a nice evening out when you feel like dressing up a bit for something nice, special occasions with the spouse or small group of friends, etc.

We did end up leaving right after desert instead of sitting over another drink because it was bothersome.

update fall 2022 This was a fantastic meal. Soup, salad, bread, crab cakes were all tasty, and the duck was probably the best Ive ever had. I was tempted to order another plate to go. The cocktails were nice and stout, and the service was efficient and perfect for an Italian restaurant lounge atmosphere. Would go again. visited fall 2019 Nicks is definitely a cozy, traditional Italian restaurant. They have a huge wine selection, and pretty good (and strong) cocktails. The prices are very high, but the portions are big. The service was great, and the staff seemed well put together. Everything was clean and organized. The food itself was bland and unimpressive, unfortunately. The prime rib was huge, but very mild and tasteless. It came with some good sauces, but the meat itself didnt seem to be seasoned at all. The chicken parm was ok. Im pretty sure it wasnt from frozen. The cannoli was good, but way overpriced at $8. May go again. After owner response: Yes, the prime rib seemed like it was pretty high quality meat. The texture was great, but the flavor was lacking. Maybe I just dont like prime rib. Parking: huge lot, plenty of parking

I would not waste my time with Nick s even though they have good reviews they don t care about there customers. Apparently they don t know how to manage online reservations and over the phone. We came in to town from Colorado visiting family and they recommended Nicks. We made an online reservation and headed that way. We arrived early and waited in the parking lot for half an hour. When we got to the door they hostess informed us that they were over booked and our reservation was canceled. She said they tried to call but I never received a call, voicemail, text or email to notify us that they had canceled our reservation. The hostess and the staff were very short and acted like it was our fault although it was there company that had made the error. Knowing that it was to late to get a reservation anywhere else they did not try to accommodate us in any way or offer to make it up in anyway. In my experience classy restaurants will try to make things right when they make a mistake. My family and I felt very unappreciated and left out in the cold. I can assure you they may have good food but they are definitely lacking in southern hospitality.

First of all, the good stuff. Superb, clubby decor, music. A real treat as far as atmosphere. No problem with smoke from the adjacent cigar bar snaking its way in. Tasty dressings for salads, delicious garlic bread. Unfortunately, thats about it for the good; now for the negatives. While the filet mignon was acceptable, the bone-in ribeye was awful. It should have been called the gristle-in ribeye. At least 1/3 was inedible, not counting the obvious bone. There was no flavor whatsoever. Wood smoked as advertised? Maybe over a matchstick. Mezza Luna has authentic wood smoked steaks, this place does not. I ordered the steak medium. It was medium rare at best. Perhaps it was the chefs night off. And maybe the cooks also. Service was rushed. I was still literally chewing my last bite, when my plate was taken out from under me. And the bill arrived faster than at a Shoneys at lunch rush. With only 3 other diners, what did they need the table for? Alas, Italian decorations do not equate to an unrushed, leisurely European style dining experience.

We came on a night when Dave McConnel was performing Sinatra. Our servers were awesome, explained everything on and off the menu and were very attentive. The crab cakes have more meat than filling and are really big. Alfredo sauce was creamy and delicious. But the Pasta Nicky is amaaaazzing. Must try. And the prices aren t as high as the $$$$ makes you think. It was a wonderful anniversary dinner. We will definitely be back.

WOW! What a great experience. I can not say enough positive things about Nicks. I have eaten here twice, first a work function the second time was with my wife and both times the food was incredibly good. I had a small filet mignon with mash potatoes and a baked Alaska for dessert. The steak was wonderful and felt like it just melted in my mouth. My wife had a chicken and pasta dish, i didnt pay any attention I was so enjoying my own meal. She did say she wasnt sharing, so I guess it was pretty good too. We did agree to share the baked alaska and it was delicious and a good size too, even though we shared it we both felt like we got enough. In fact I thi k it would be too much for just one person. Oh my wife had the crab cakes for an appetizer they were tasty too. It was a fabulous night, the was live music we knew all the songs and it was soft enough volume level that we could still carry on a conversation. I would recommend reservations. I highly recommend Nicks Ristorante and look forward to the next time I get to eat there. It was work driving from Nashville. Thank You!

I ordered the pork chop a spring salad and sweet baked potato. My date ordered the NY strip a sweet baked potato and a spring salad as well.

Hey. I hope this finds everyone well. Today was my first day in Huntsville. I decided to go to Nicks. I called ahead and was told no wait. Upon arriving I was told, since I had no reservation I could eat at the bar w/smokers. I am not a drinker. I do not smoke. There were empty tables in the main dining room. At the bar the seats are so close together in this place that you could read the next persons mind. I did not want to sit there. I informed the hostess of my phone call.

Tonight we had reservations at 5:30. We were seated promptly. A man came over and gave us some bread and water. And then we waited and waited for almost 20 minutes before we were acknowledged. A group came in with us and were waited on immediately. They got their drinks and were chatted up by their server. Another couple came in 15 minutes after us and they were waited on and still no one came over to us. Finally, after he was told by the guy with the water a server came over. My husband and I find this unacceptable. It wasnt like the place was overrun with people there were only 3 other tables occupied. I really had high hopes for this place. I wish I could rate the food, but unfortunately we didnt get that far.

The meal, for the price, was incredibly mediocre. The $40 steak was actually a steak which you could have gotten for about $20 at Outback. The pasta was bland and the salad was so so.

We were kindly welcomed with a beautifully set table and a happy anniversary card signed by the staff. How sweet and kind is that? You never get that.. at least we never have. Not only was the atmosphere relaxing and inviting but the service was phenomenal to say the least. I was really pleasantly surprised at how well the timing was for them to bring out each part of the meal, giving you the perfect amount of time to enjoy and get prepared for the next course. Though we are going to be full for what feels like the next few days, we were wowed by the incredible food, staff and service. We did not want dessert because we were so full, but the waiter insisted and it was the most delicious dessert we have ever had I only took a photo of my main course but honestly everything was so wonderfully delicious. No joke when they say best steak in Huntsville, we ve eaten many places and this one takes the cake. I cannot say enough about this place, really.

We were in town for the weekend and were hoping for a great steak. Frankly the restaurant seems lost. Like are you a steak house or a Italian restaurant. Ordered the cheese curds and lamb Sonic might have out done their cheese curbs and the lamb was very dry Followed by salads which were good And the Porter steak for 2 which was 85 dollars. Was good but not worth the money. The service was good and was nice but the whole experience could have been purchased at outback for half the cost. Spending 160 left us pretty disappointed. Cant recommend.
