Nick's Italian Kitchen — Restaurant in Himachal Pradesh

The place is enjoyable. Has a terrace which offers a good view of Bhagsunag and McLeodganj. The Cafe is airy and the windows are comparatively large that allows for cross ventilation, which lacks at other places. As you enter the Cafe you bypass the desserts counter which has on display an assortment of confections and other baked foods like a variety of quiches. I associate McLeodganj with apple pies and apple crumble as they always seem to be perfect with just about the right proportion of cinnamon to apples.

Once you settle down they give you a paper and pencil to write down your order which makes it more convenient rather than to rattle out the whole list to the waiters.

The menu though not elaborate, leaves you confused.🤔 Everything seems to be tasty. The Cafe is a bit of a disappointment for non-vegetarians like me at first. I did contemplate to move out to Jimmy's for want Bacon Pizza but decided I'd stay and give it a try. Glad I did. 😁 I've tried the following dishes on various occasions, all of which were delightful :- Spinach and Mushroom Quiche Zucchini and Mushroom Quiche Spinach and Ricotta Cheese Momos (tastiest vegetarian momos EVER!) Special Chowmein 👍 Hash Browns (comfort food) Tomato and cheese sandwich (average) Spaghetti Arrabiata Ravioli with spinach and cheese filling with red sauce Peach Iced Tea Fresh fruit juice (mixed) Fresh lime soda (👎👎👎👎👎👎) Baked Lemon Cheesecake ( average) Apple pie.. (😇😇😇😇😇😇)

Next time I'll try more of Tibetan dishes here. Will order the spinach and cheese momos for certain. The Gnocchi and Bruschetta looked savory too.

Do visit the place and enjoy your time. They have a reading...

Here you will find Italian food. Pope John Paul has this very nice picture of himself.

I got the minestrone soup on both visits. It’s alright for Italian food in Dharamsala. I’d get extra bread. Who doesn’t like their daily bread? It’s yum, yum, yum.

I asked the owner’s brother how they found themselves in exile making Italian food in Dharamsala. He says it’s popular with those who find themselves yearning in Catholicism in Dharamsala. Many people yearn in Catholicism and this includes the Protestants, so I’m told. Then there are these rare few who find themselves yearning in the Judeo-Christian, find themselves in Dharamsala for the Tibetian Buddhism and then hunger for the savory Italian foods that categorically define the religion.

Some kind of bridge these people are building between Judeo Christian and Buddhist worlds, and it’s only available at Nick’s Italian Kitchen.

I’d get the bottled water here. It’s premium Aquafina. They’ve got these amazing postcards. Also, tip the people. It’s salvation in both traditions to have some compassion for...

I visited this place based on the online reviews. Disappointed with taste... i genuinly believe they are using fake or cheap salt as none of their dishes had salt. And despite putting salt on top of the dishes it was still blend. Anyways people can argue , but this is not italian.

Service was not good. We had to ask for plates, then forks, then water, then other things qhich are yet to be served and every other thing served for making an easy atmosphere. I am still not sure how to order in this place. Staff seems like cows high on something, doing things like zombies. A serious revisit to their services is needed.

Ambience was quite, outside seating is good and probably good reviews are from the outside seating it seems. I guess their plan is simple, make people sit outside where their tastebuds will go numb due to cold and people will eat every other tasteless dish they...
