    Ribs Special with Sauce
    Kenneth B. T.

    Ordered the Rib Special for delivery on 9/3/25. Ambiance from previous in person dining/pick up was very good. I always order my Rib Special (Dry Rub- I note in their instructions section) and if available that they're Fatty. On one instance the Ribs were a bit Fatty but this delivery order was a disappointment in that they were "sauced"- in my books- a Fail! From my previous experiences with this order- if this was delivered as specifically ordered- this would deserve a "5 Star" Rating.

    Fresh good tasting pastas, pizzas, deserts. Good chill ambiance. Friendly people , good food. Love it. Been coming here since I lived in San Pedro in 2012.

    Breadsticks

    I've been coming to Big Nicks for a couple of years now and I'm never disappointed. The pizza here is top tier and the crust is soft, thick and chewy. The breadsticks I have grown to enjoy with the ceaser salad which I did enjoy. I will say the only downside is the parking isn't very big and is always packed. They do both takeout and dine in too.

    Big Nicks is delicious. Their pizza is one of my favorites. Good ole classic cheese is my go-to. They have really good buffalo chicken strips and I enjoy both the ranch and blue cheese dressing they have. The antipasta salad is really good. Their meatballs are good. Their sandwiches are good. You really can't go wrong!

    What is the delivery fee $?

    it is only $3.99, I only order from them not the other 3rd party delivery companies like door dash etc. They also have Excellent pasta and sauce.

    Do they have gluten-free pizza or options here?

    We currently serve Gluten free pizza crust and will soon be adding a gluten free pasta.

We got right in after finding cheap parking across the street. For food, I got a modified dish (gnoochi with Alfredo) and a salad with ranch. My teammates got all different types of food and they all loved it. They got the house dressing in their salad and we all agreed that this salad was abnormally delicious. The free bruschetta they give and marinated veggies was such a nice treat in the beginning. The cleanliness of the restaurant was impressive too. We were so delighted with this place and as we were wrapping up, they bring ice cream to our table. Wowza! Highly recommend going if you're in San Pedro

I have taken my mom there several times (and as would have told you, she was a "foodie). Every time we've gone there, the food has been great and the servers really nice. This last week however, my family have been there twice, having booked them for two funeral repasts. Needless to say, it's been a tough week. But Gino and Raffaelo have been really great helping us through everything, and making it streamlined. We got the first option for their banquet menu: two kinds of pasta, chicken marsala, peppers and Calamari. It was especially nice to not have to worry at all of any details. The rooms that we used were ample and could fit a lot of people, and the bar was well stocked. It just made a tough time easier. We had been there for another funeral reception in February of 2025, when my stepfather passed away. Aside from being a great place, I just want to highlight how absolutely gracious they were at every turn. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.

Last, but not least the Dinner special pasta which was also A rated. The Garden salad and Caesar salad as a side are large enough to split and each was delicious as well.

So I am a big food giver, it is how I show appreciation because when I want to thank someone, I want their belly to feel it. And this place has this really good Sunday Sauce plate, that I just know as their short rib plate. Like one time, I took it to a former colleague that I kinda wanted to make happy, cause of how they made me feel, and he warmed it up in the microwave. And it was not like microwaving fish, it was quite the opposite. Instead of pungent odor, the dish infused the small kitchenette with a wafting aroma, that almost felt like a morning after hug. It made everyone who wifed it, wonder who and what introduced good eats to another wise basic break-room. More broadly, I have never eaten anything at J Trani's that I have felt bad about buying. At least not that I can recall readily, which means that they have not seared a bad experience in my mind, which, is great flowers given to offer them considering that I have been coming to this place, time and again, for decades. Now the question becomes how they surprised me, when I know them to be a good spot consistently? So I called because I wanted to get a pizza for a guy I wanted to thank. And, they read me their pizza list and my bells, that signal positive experiences, went off. I heard sweet corn. And sweet corn is an ingredient I love by name. So I got the bacon and corn pizza, and also, I tried to explain the dish I wanted, remember I do not know it by Sunday Sauce. The person answering the phone, I forgot her name, explained that the Sunday sauce was their short rib plate. But instead of ordering there, I was like I'll just go so I can peruse the menu, Seconds later she called me back. I thought she was going to try to explain more to me, but I had made my mind up I wanted to see the menu. I was a smidge irked, I will not lie, I just did not want to continue the conversation after I had made my mind. So I picked up and she explained that she could text me the menu. And she did just that, the picture shows is the proof. Wow--- this was excellent service, not because they went the extra mile--- which they did- but because they centered my expectations, without me knowing it I had that expectation. They could have said, review the menu online, which I was not going to do. I was going to go and wait, which I could do, but it has its elements of a drag quotient. Instead, with the menu, in hand (well sort-of) was able to make the right choices for me. And She specifically told me that the order was going to take 25 minutes. This was the cherry tomato on top of the Burrata salad---- my whole experience was handled by the restaurant when I was not there. I got there and I had to wait a few minutes for my order to be packaged. As I waited, I heard a traditional mom and pop, and kid family unit discuss the choices the kid had made. The dad, I heard, say something like, I would have never, spoken to my dad like this when I was young, I do not want to here anymore from you. I heard this interaction, and kind of was glad because it gave me something to chew on (my thoughts). I wondered what the kid did and how I would handle the discipline? I also thought that some people still practice the stale or maybe fresh axiom of: Children should be seen not heard? The pizza was fantastic. I had a slice the next day for breakfast, and the bacon was crunch, the taste of corn was heavily present, and in short, it was a delicacy on my commute to work.

My friends frequent it often and really enjoy it, so I had high hopes. For me, it was good... but not quite crave-worthy. The garlic bread was basic. Nothing bad about it, just nothing that made me think about it afterward. The truffle carbonara had solid flavor, but it was very rich -- a small portion was more than enough for me. The Caesar salad was fresh, though a little heavy on the pepper for my liking. The Chicken Madeira was good -- juicy chicken and a flavorful sauce, though it leaned slightly sweet. To be fair, I don't order Chicken Madeira often and I split it with a friend, so my knowledge on the dish is mediocre. Overall, everything else seemed solid. A few people at our table ordered the ribeye, and the swordfish and I have to admit -- it looked delicious. I'm not writing this place off. I'll definitely be back to try that ribeye.

It's the kind of dish that makes you slow down and really enjoy it. Jamie's mozzarella balls were a fun way to start the meal. Lightly crisp on the outside and gooey inside, they paired really well with the marinara sauce, which had a bright, fresh tomato flavor. They disappeared from the plate quickly. The dining room has a welcoming, neighborhood feel. It's lively but still comfortable, and you can tell many guests are regulars. The team working there brought a cheerful energy and checked in just enough to make sure everything was going smoothly. Mama D's delivers hearty, satisfying Italian comfort food in a setting that feels genuinely inviting. I'd happily return when I'm craving a classic pasta night done right.

We got a side Caesar, which is large enough for two to share as a starter, a kid's penne with marinara and chicken, and two chicken pesto paninis. I forgot to order mine without tomatoes, but they were easy enough to take off, and I don't mind the residual flavor in this kind of sandwich. The chicken was generous in all three dishes, and had nice flavor! The marinara was just that, marinara, but a still was decent for "fast food." Also, their Caesar dressing is more of a vinaigrette than a traditional thicker Caesar dressing, nice and light and super flavorful! All in all, this was a great experience! Looking forward to trying their pepperoni, it is the kind where the edges curl up and they become the little cups of crunchy oily goodness! Try this place out! Just remember they close at 8 every day but Fridays and Saturdays!

Our order consisted of the Breakfast Carbonara Pasta, the Spicy Rosa Breakfast Pizza, the Cacio e Pepe Arancini and their seasonal Chicken Soup. The Chicken Soup and Cacio e Pepe Arancini came out first. The Chicken Soup was warm and soothing. It was simple, nourishing and satisfying. The Cacio e Pepe Arancini is one dish I've tried before. These were crispy on the outside and creamy and cheesy on the inside. I liked the cacio e pepe kick but I did find this starter to be a bit on the saltier side. I also remember these arancini balls being larger in the past. For the main dishes, I tried the Spicy Rosa Breakfast Pizza first. This pizza definitely had that spicy kick with the rich, spicy rosa sauce and the Italian sausage. I loved the runny egg topping. It made for a messy and delightful pizza! Last dish I tried was the Breakfast Carbonara Pasta. I am a Carbonara fan and so had high expectations for this pasta. Unfortunately, this was my least favorite of all the dishes we had for brunch. The creaminess was not there and it lacked in flavor. It was too bland for my taste. This was quite surprising as I've always enjoyed all the pastas I've gotten before at North Italia. Overall brunch here was not quite as great as my dinner outings here. It perhaps may have just been an off day but I maybe sticking to lunch and dinner dishes at North Italia in the near future.
