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.
Steaks, seafood & Northern Italian dishes served in a warm bistro setting with a cigar lounge. Based on 469 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.5 stars. Price $$$$

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 can’t say enough how great of a place it is. The last time we were there, the live music was very good.

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 it’s 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 don’t have to! Wonderful amazing delicious comfortable. Amazing spot.

The food is fantastic, the service attentive and friendly, and the desserts are divine. As an added bonus, live music performances. My first visit happened to be the night Dave McConnell performed Sinatra. If I could give this experience more than 5 stars I would.

Had the most wonderful Garlic Parmesan wings that I’ve had in a long time. The salad bar was well stocked. Sweet tea was on point and to top it all off the owner was a genuinely nice guy! Will be back as often as possible.

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 won’t 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 I’m in Huntsville again

We celebrated our 15th anniversary at Nick’s 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.

The food was very good. Probably some of the best steak you’ll ever pay for, but not as good as what we make at home. I didn’t care for the cigarette smell from the bar area, and the service wasn’t great. Our server was pretty awkward, and the refills were slow. Wine was just OK.

I recently visited Nick’s 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 I’ve eaten at Nick’s 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 I’ve 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 Nick’s staff. After dinner, I was stuffed but couldn’t 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.

The food was wonderful but I was hoping that the steak would blow my mind. Several people told me it was “the spot” for the best steak in Huntsville, and mine wasn’t that at all. Everything else really impressed me! I would go back just to try something else.
