“I wanted to leave a FANTASTIC 5 Star review about this new updated restaurant called Nick's Italian Ristorante. My wife and I plus a couple of friends recently went back for the third time to enjoy their excellent food. When we first visited after Nick's took over from Flatbread I have to say I was extremely disappointed. But after a change of management ... WOW what a change. (By the way ...Nick's is owned by Barbacoa!) The food was absolutely outstanding ...some of the Best Italian food I have ever tasted especially the Meatballs and sauce ...simply the BEST! Many people are unaware of this fabulous Italian restaurant so I felt the need to shout it out to everyone. TRY NICK'S ... you won't be disappointed. Also ask for Frankie ...she is one of the Best waitresses I have ever experienced ..always a smile on her face, and offering caring service! Love to you all!“

“I’m really grateful they built an Olive Garden here in Meridian. The Boise and Nampa locations had gotten so busy that it was hard to enjoy a meal without a long wait, and this location has been a great addition for our area.

The restaurant is in a convenient spot, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it’s been a solid experience each time we’ve gone. And of course… the unlimited breadsticks are still a favorite. If you’ve been avoiding Olive Garden because the other locations were too crowded, this Meridian location is absolutely worth a visit.“

“We visited Margherita Pizza for the first time tonight. Seeing a wood fired oven in a pizza restaurant is a good first sign. A friendly, personable staff is the second. Tasting a fresh salad, refreshing Italian soda, and delicious pizza (in a style very similar to what we had in Italy) sealed the deal for us! They just gained two more loyal customers.“

“Probably my favorite spot in Meridian to have a drink. Their espresso martini is the best in the valley. And they make a fantastic old-fashioned.

Their flatbeds are fantastic, but I really love their Bolognese. Trust me on this, it’s an amazing Italian dish.

The staff here is great, I’ve gotten to know them well. They treat you well and it truly feels like friends.“

“We had such a great experience at North Italia in The Village at Meridian! From the moment we walked in, everything felt welcoming, and our host, Brooke, set the tone with friendly and attentive service.

We started with the arancini, and wow—they were absolutely amazing. Perfectly crispy on the outside and warm and flavorful on the inside, they were the ideal way to kick off the meal.

Next came the Caesar salad, and I can confidently say it was hands down the best Caesar salad I’ve ever had. Every bite was just as good as the first—fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor. It’s rare for a salad to stand out that much, but this one definitely did.

I also had the Alta Rossa—it was a good one, well-balanced and enjoyable, but not my personal favorite compared to everything else we tried.

To finish, we shared the brookie sundae, and it did not disappoint. All the toppings complemented each other so well, creating the perfect balance of rich, sweet, and indulgent flavors.

Overall, everything from the service to the food was spot on. We’ll definitely be back!“

“while I love Uncle Bob's probably should have prepared for the Halloween rush better. I ordered at 2:30 for pick up at 5:15, got there and was told it would be an additional 20 to 30 minutes. I did feel bad for the staff because people were angry. Just a suggestion for next year!“
