“What a gem! We were surprised by the ambience, it is like a small bistro you'd find in Italy. Food was excellent and the wine list is extensive. Be sure to ask what the specials are, we didn't know to ask. But, the table next to us did and they sounded wonderful. Looking forward to returning!“

“Delicious meal! Great staff!“

“First time in. Monday night special is quite the deal! Food tasted excellent and portions are large. I was able to take home plenty of food and my unfinished bottle of wine. We did feel a bit rushed. Not only to place our order but appetizers and salads were served at the same time to our small table. We were asked multiple times if we were done with courses when we had forks in our hands. Because the food was delicious and very well prepared we’ll give it another try and hope for a better service experience.“

“I can’t believe it took us so long to dine here. This is hands down the best food I’ve had in a very long time. Ambiance 10/10, service 10/10 and food 100/10. The street corn ravioli was out of this world. I also tried the peach & prosciutto bruschetta which was savory & sweet and just sooo good. I kept seeing this Bloody Mary type of cocktail going out so I had to order one. This drink was AMAZING. It was called “Caprese my name” which consisted of vodka, basil, tomato and get this…pasta water! Serve in a martini glass with a little mozzarella ball garnish. The most delicious drink I’ve ever had. This place is amazing and I highly recommend it if you’re in town!!!“

“I just discovered this place through a friend. What a gem this place is. It’s strictly a to go business. The food is absolutely delicious. It’s obvious that it’s not prepared in large quantities. The servings are very generous & I can usually get 3 to 4 meals out of each portion. There’s a huge variety of different foods, soups, broccoli & spinach pies & a variety of Italian dishes. Highly recommend.“

“Went to the Smithfield location last night for the first time. Amazing experience. The food was fantastic, the drinks were fantastic, and the service was top notch. Our waiter was Chuck, and he was super knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. Highly recommend!“

“The food was great but the service was even better. Our server Julen was amazing. She was helpful in understanding as we had questions about the menu. Most servers we've dealt with at other restaurants feel like we are being a bother if we need something. Jules was not like that and was great to our dog Foxy as he lounged on the patio and ate his meal. 5 stars. we will definitely be back.“

“DoorDashed buffalo chicken calzone from here! All I can say is WORD! So delicious! The calzone crust is incredibly soft and crunchy! Get yourself extra blue Cheese dressing and a stick or three of celery, this is medium to almost spicy, perfect balance!
Unfortunately when I called to compliment on the food, the gentleman who answered was unable to understand what I was saying, (language barrier). Nevertheless I will be recommending and ordering again. Thank you!“

“Great atmosphere and fantastic food! large portions too!“

“We went over the weekend for the first time since new renovations. The atmosphere was amazing! The music was awesome, and out meals were delicious. Our server Deedra was marvelous and made my mothers Birthday worth the visit. We will be back.“

“The food was okay, nothing special. We ordered a meal that was "all you can eat". We were each served a dinner plate with a piece of chicken, some French fries and pasta. It was a lot of food. We did not order more as we couldn't finish what was on our original plate already. We asked for a take out container to take home what was left of the pasta on our plates. We were told no that they would rather throw it away. I'm shocked. We did not order more. We simply wanted to take home what we were already eating. I will not support a local restaurant that intentionally throws away food. So I'll spread the word that maybe this may be a restaurant that you don't want to support either.“

“The staff was amazing! Extremely friendly and patient while my friend and I read through the menu.
The food was great! The Italian Pig In a Blanket was full of flavor, and the pizza was so greasy (in a great way).
When I'm back in the area, I'll definitely be back!“

“BEST TRIVIA EVER! Every Thursday at 6:00!“

“Always a first stop on our way to RI beaches! YumYum... delicious pizza strips... the best Whoopie Pies!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience with Theressa at Nikolas Pizza! Our varsity team was playing nearby at St. George’s Arena, and she was incredibly friendly, professional, and responsive while taking our order. We placed a very large order, and everything was handled perfectly. The food was delivered exactly at the time we requested, and every item was clearly labeled just as we asked, which was especially important because of food allergies on the team. That level of care and attention really meant a lot to us. We would absolutely call Nikolas Pizza again when we’re in the area and highly recommend them—especially if you’re working with a big group. Excellent service all around!“

“Thank you so much to Alexia and the staff for a wonderful experience. We had a great time! Alexia was very attentive and the best server! Thank you!“

“Stopped in on a whim. Great pizza and salad at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.“

“Setting was spectacular, the entire hotel is gorgeous but the restaurant was very classy and enjoyable. Great food, great service, great drinks, everything was very very good. One of the best places in Newport that actually has open reservations on a summer weekend and *free* parking too! Not sure how this is only 3*“
