I have been looking for a good Italian restaurant in Costa Mesa for some time and I was really looking forward to Nick's as it came recommend but I can't highly endorse it. Maybe they are having trouble like everyone else and can't find help but we went there on a Tuesday night and the place was only a third full yet the service was painfully slow. We had to ask for a water for my son three times before he got it. We asked for my daughter's capacino several times and was told it would be right out but it never came. The didn't make my daughter's lasagna and it only came out after the rest of us were finished with our food. Overall the food was good but not great. The red (tomato) sauce was too sweet for our taste. I couldn't taste the garlic in the garlic bread. The prices are about 60% higher that I would have expected before the Pandemic, so I guess they are reasonable for today's economy. My search for good Italian food will continue.

Loved it. First time there and only had the meatball sandwich for lunch but would go back to try more. Sandwich was excellent, bread was awesome, warm and soft but with a light outer crunch. Meatballs were sliced so they're not flopping all over the place. Good size and good price.

First time here, ordered a veggie pie and a cheese pie for my kid. Pizza was very good, calamari was okay. Gave 3 stars due to service. I had to ask for a waiter, and though the restaurant was not so busy our server did not stop by to check up on us not once, disappointed with the service.

Saw this place while shopping and decided to try it. It was around 2:00 on a Friday and the place was pretty empty so we just got takeout. We ordered a chicken parm sandwich from the lunch menu. Nick’s offers a great lunch menu with great prices! We had to wait about 20 minutes for the sandwich but it was surprisingly good. The bread was crunchy and not soggy like most. The sauce was a little sweet which I like and it was enough for two people to split for just $10

Showed up 30 minutes before closing. Took a bit to grab someone's attention at the door but did finally get seated. We come here often so ordered our food quick, got our food quick, everything was delicious! Another happy visit👌🏼
