Ya, this place is still 5 star. I can't add much from the last time I was here a year ago. I ate the Vodka Shrimp and Shells. I had Crème Brûlée for dessert. It was fantastic. Just go eat there. Service was great. It's a really neat place and it's not too loud. read more

Nico's has a cool industrial design with a shout out to a traditional bar area. It's in Aggie land and east access. Love the tradition red/ white checkered table cloths like old Italy. Server, Carson was ahead of us on all questions related to the menu and had a great booth side manner. Portions are split in 3 types. 1/4 good for one, 1/2 good for two and family good for many. Warned all portions are as large as the western Kansas sky. Today we shared spaghetti marina with a meatball each. I think I actually used bowling balls smaller than the meat balls. Plenty of meat and a hardy addition to the Italian staple, spaghetti. Had a sampler for our appetizer ( bruschetta, mozzarella sticks, calamari, stuffed mushrooms and ravioli. The Straw Hat margarita and the Mango Mimosa both went well with lunch. Recommend all of the above. Stop here on your next visit. read more

I am in Manhattan for work. Nico's is just round the corner from our hotel and a colleague and I went there tonight. WOW! Food was incredible. And lots of it!! I had Tuscan Chicken which was a huge bowl of wonderfully breaded chicken (not too heavy on the breading) and delicious sauce. But it also came with an almost as large bowl of pasta (I chose fettucine) with it's own sauce and broccoli. So much food I took at least half with me, and they called that a 1/2 order! read more

I actually started out across the street at the Mexican place, but looking across the street, I was hoping for a hometown Italian experience and just walked over to Nico's. I wasn't sorry. it's been a really long time since I had some authentic Italian food made with loving care. The waiters were attentive and knowledgeable. The food came out fast and was piping hot and delicious. I really wish that I had a place like this in my hometown. read more

Nico's Little Italy - Tuscan Chicken with Pink Vodka sauce over Penne - Italian Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

We love supporting family-owned businesses such as Nico's Little Italy. The vibe in this restaurant is great and the plates are abundant. Many menu choices come in quarter, half or full size. Make sure you get an explanation of what each of them amounts to. The quarter size will do in most cases. The wait staff was delightful. Site outside for a ring side seat of the KState campus life. Lots of students passing by. I would have gone five stars on this but for an annoying drip-drip-drip from the overhang/ Wish they could fix that. read more

Nico's catered my wedding and the food was amazing! Kendall was an absolute superstar and my guests loved him!

The food here is very good my wife had the shrimp pesto pasta and when I say this was they most tender shrimp I've ever had I myself ordered their Italian burger and this is the thickest burger I've seen in a restaurant environment the only complaint I have about the burger was the type of lettuce they used for it and I can drink a lot of liquid and my drink was never empty I had 5 refills in the time period I was there and my server Donnie is a very great server and has amazing customer service and he was so honest with how long we would wait or how many tables he had before getting to us again and I actually really respected that but they have a server there her name is Skylar but I don't think it was on purpose but I felt as if she came off kinda rude as well as I think she had stolen my servers tip because it had changed on the receipt I got back but over all of you are wanting a decent meal with your significant other I highly recommend coming here read more

Yep. This is the place for fantastic Italian food. Don't miss it...and I'm from restaurant land in Dallas

Salad was delicious. Bread came with margarine...... which blows my mind!!!! We ordered chicken fettuccine Alfredo which came with no chicken. And we ordered carbonara which was actually just Alfredo again. It was a game day so little crazy so service wasn't great but giving them a pass. 3 stars because the Alfredo was pretty good and salad too. read more

Nico's Little Italy - Rotini Carbonara - Italian Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

Italian in Manhattan, Ks is like Polka Dots on a Zebra and this place seems out of place. Don't get me wrong the food and service was good, but the (Family? Sort of) style was weird, the atmosphere was like walking into one of the bars, nothing fancy, wooden tables and chairs, just something odd about it. now that I have said that do not take it bad, for me it was odd, our server was personable and pretty spot on, we never had to ask for anything. Food was good, so in Manhattan Kansas if you are looking for decent food, this place is for you. read more

Nico's Little Italy - cannoli dessert - Italian Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

Stopped by here for dinner yesterday evening and got very good service and a nice Italian type old style atmosphere and the food was great very good price. Would definitely recommend read more

This quaint Italian restaurant was all that you would expect. We were seated at our reservation time and got cocktails to start the evening. Highly recommend the Bruschetta for a starter, I wish I didn't have to share it. The tomatoes and balsamic seasoning had so much fresh flavor. Every one got something different and shared bites of our entrees. I liked my creamy shrimp pesto with penne pasta best. My bf had to get dessert and ordered the cannoli which was ok but pretty rich. Splurged on an expresso martini...omg! One of the best I have ever had. I am already planning to stop here to get another one when I come back to visit. read more

Great tasting food, lively atmosphere, good service. Busy. At the end of Aggieville. Nice restaurant, does have outdoor seating if you want but nice inside. read more

Great atmosphere, smooth jazz. That's what I needed after my Wingstop troubles. (Check that review out it's fun) I was greeted when I walked in, given a menu and I chose to sit at a very nice bar. The food is great. I got takeout because I'm a bit sick, and the shrimp diavolo is perfect. Just spicy enough to clear the sinuses. The garlic bread could use some work though. read more

Server gave great recommendations. Great drinks and food. Was our first time visiting. We'll definitely be back

The service was great this places is a great spot to go in have some great Italy food very clean great places for groups and date night read more

The location is right in Aggieville. It was easy to get to from parking lot across the street. We were seated promptly. The hostess staff were very friendly and nice. Our waiter was excellent, nice and knowledgeable about the menu. He was very friendly and we had a great conversation with him. The food on the other hand was not very good. The spaghetti sauce was bland, the chicken Parmesan tasted like ground up chicken mixed with bread crumbs and dissolved in your mouth. The meatball was big, but tasted like mush. The caprese salad was so/so. Not sure if I would go back. read more

We love Nico's! Their dishes are super affordable with generous portions and a great choice for lunch or dinner. I love that they're open on Mondays when most restaurants close then. read more

What an adorable atmosphere. I was welcomed with happiness and smiles what a warm feeling the staff brought to my heart!! Food was absolutely delicious. I didn't give much standard being in a small town but they did it great tasting food with the right amount of flavor. The wine that my server recommended for me, Sean Minor Cab Sav was oaky full body and smooth. I ordered the meat baked ravioli and the meat was just so flavorful with the crunchy buttery ravioli. Quarter spaghetti with 1 huge meatball. I was nervous... Last time I've seen a meat ball like that was at Bucca de Pepo.. or however spelt and I never went there again. Not Nico's! I will definitely be coming back when craving Italian. Thank you all for the great experience and allowing me to do my studies here too ! read more

This place could not get better if they tried. Food was absolutely insane, we got 2 quarter sized entrees, 2 mixed drinks, 2 desserts and one appetizer all for around $75. More than enough food to share and keep ourselves full. The service is absolutely impeccable and I've probably never had better service in my life. The waiter, Caleb was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes being served!!! Thank you Caleb. The taste of the pasta was extremely rich and everything was very satisfying. I hope they keep the cheesecake tiramisu on the menu as they said they were just testing it. Another thing to note is that My wife said the creme brûlée was the best she'd ever had! We will certainly be going back as this is now our new favorite place in the Manhattan/JC Area read more

We have not had an Italian place in town for awhile, and Eric R. and I drove by when heading to Pandora for ice cream last week. We decided to come last Thursday later in the evening to have a meal on the patio when the weather was nice. When we arrived after 8:30 PM, there was only one patio table available and the inside was full, so clearly this was a popular place! A sister restaurant to Martinelli's in Salina, it was highly anticipated here. We were seated outside and out server Teagan brought us waters and bread. She was helpful in explaining the portion sizes (quarter is for one person, half for two, family for four to five). We started with the toasted ravioli appetizer, and Eric R. got a quarter Caesar salad. The toasted ravioli came hot and with a side of marinara. For entrees, Eric R. got the tortellini and chose it with pesto sauce, and I ordered the shrimp fra diavolo with linguini. The food came out piping hot. My shrimp had a nice char on them, and the dish was very flavorful. There was spinach and tomatoes crushed in my dish. Even at the quarter portion size, we had leftovers of both dishes to take in the cute small round to go containers provided. Our server refilled our water regularly too. There is a big dessert menu, but we were so full. We were able to enjoy the leftovers the next day - I just added roasted eggplant and turkey meatballs to them. I am not the biggest Italian food fan, but I thought this was a nice addition to town and would come back and try other things on the menu. Service was excellent. read more

Food was good with plentiful portions. Reasonably priced. Serve was Excellent, the waiter was attentive, friendly and gave solid recommendations with the menu. My dessert was outstanding, I ordered the crème brûlée. Good wine, and drink selection as well. my only complaint is the Frank Sinatra music on repeat, lol.
