Nicolino's could just as we'll be on a small street in Rome. It's small, busy and cozy. The food is homemade and delicious. We split a Salad and then each ordered the clam with linguini dish; Fabulous if you like Pacific Northwest clams. The pasta tasted homemade. The service was prompt and friendly and the wine pour was generous. This... More

Tucked away in the Gilman Village shopping center, nearly behind an Indian restaurant, Nicolino Ristorante is worth the effort to find. Food: excellent and everything was house-made. Salads and soups were as well-prepared as the main courses, ranging from pasta to beef to fish. Food was perfectly seasoned. Service: our server was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable--he's obviously been in... More

We had salads, followed by the lamb special and the wine special (a lovely Sangiovese), and dessert. Everything was delicious. Note that you cannot reserve a table at this restaurant, so you may have to... More

Pay attention to the nightly special(s) where the chef pulls out all the stops. Two of our family favorites that are always on the menu are Cioppino del Giorno (nightly choice of seafood served in saffron... More

We've been coming to this tiny restuarant for the past 20 years the quality has been ho-hum to fabulous as chefs came and went. We're back to fabulous again with this guest chef from Italy. We tried some specials ( salad and entree) and some standard entrees and ceasar salad. The overall impression is: lick the plate good. Salad with... More

My husband and I decided to try Nicolino's on a Friday night. The ambiance was very cozy with candles on the tables and murals on the walls. Quite romantic. I ordered two items off the specials menu. The tomato & roasted red pepper bisque soup was quite good but my pork tenderloins was awful. At $24.00 for this entree, it... More

I found the food to be mediocre at best. One step above Olive Garden. The service was extremely slow. The kitchen was open to view and didn't seem to be really clean. My sister told me this place was great about 2 years ago. I guess they have a big turnover in help. I would not go there again.
