Little Nicki's Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

Unfortunately, a Disappointing Experience

This is the first time I've felt compelled to leave a negative review for a business.

I had high expectations for Little Nick's based on the online reviews, but sadly, our experience didn’t live up to the hype.

We arrived at 7 PM and were served their "freshly squeezed" lemonades, which tasted extremely artificial and overly sweet—nothing like what was described on the menu. We couldn’t even finish them. The garlic bread that followed was just okay.

Then came the long wait: nearly 50 minutes for the two soups we ordered. We were honestly about to leave when they finally arrived. Unfortunately, the clam chowder was a major letdown—watery, bland, and tasting more like milk than soup. After that, we decided not to stick around for the rest of the meal.

What’s worse is that the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, yet we noticed several other tables also waiting a long time for their food.

Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. If Little Nick's wants to maintain a good reputation, they seriously need to improve both their customer service and food quality. I hope they take this feedback constructively, as there’s potential—but a lot of work...

Just wow, don’t even debate if you should try this place- your mouth, body, & spirit will thank you lol!

Everything is amazing and made fresh & I’m a picky eater! My husband usually doesn’t have much to say but he even said “I don’t remember going anywhere with food that good.” We got- Mozzarella sticks: fresh & the quality of cheese there on all their food is rich & high quality!

Stuffed mushrooms: which weren’t even on the menu & the chef just made me some she thought I’d like and it came with an amazing side salad that i couldn’t even believe- candied walnuts & blue cheese, stop!

Fresh bread with fresh garlic!! (I think that just comes with the food & we also tried their homemade balsamic & oil.duuuddde!

Meat Lasagna: again with the rich mozzarella, garlic, & sauce

Stuffed crab flounder: the pairing of this meal is beyond perfect. The light flounder with the crab stuffing, lemon sauce & spinch with rice & julienne veggies!

Homemade kettle chips: every chip crispy and sliced perfectly!

Needless to say we ordered way too much & have a large bag to take home!

Can’t wait to go back and bring family & friends! The chefs there...

little nickys changed our lives. we entered as a group of 13 world weary camp councillors and left reborn. we had no way of knowing how much we needed little nicky’s until now, but need it we DID. amy’s hospitality is exactly what we needed half way through a summer away from home, it truly felt like being wrapped up into a new family. the chef whipped up some homemade garlic aioli (that was not on the menu, and she hadn’t made before) simply because i asked if they had any. it was TO DIE FOR. as was the homemade lemonade, the tirimasu, the pizzas and everything else that landed on our table. we’ll be well fed for the next week because of their incredible portion sizes, and i’ve never looked forward to a week more. oh also they served the best free table bread i’ve ever had. we love you amy, we love you little nicky’s. if you start a cult we will join....
