Nico's Little Italy

07/13/2026

Earlier today, we made the decision to evacuate the restaurant after discovering a gas leak. While it certainly wasn’t how we expected the day to go, the safety of our guests and team will always come first.

The leak has been identified, and repairs are currently underway. We expect to reopen tomorrow and look forward to serving you then.

We sincerely apologize to everyone whose lunch or dinner plans were disrupted today and truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and support. Thank you for being such an amazing community—we can’t wait to welcome you back tomorrow!

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandpas, stepdads, and father figures out there! 🍻❤️

Celebrate with us today and enjoy our Father’s Day special: Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin served with asparagus.

Not feeling pork? No worries—we’ve also got what we think are the best steaks in town, cooked just the way Dad likes them.

Bring Dad in, skip the dishes, and let us do the cooking. Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Nico’s!

🚨 CLOSED TODAY 🚨

Apparently “team building” involves kicking a ball, talking trash, and defending Nico’s honor against other local bars & restaurants. 🏆

Wish us luck. We’ll be back tomorrow—with either a trophy or a carefully prepared explanation of why the refs were wrong. 😝

🎓 Graduation Weekend is almost here, and we wanted to share a quick reminder about how call-aheads work at Nico’s! 🍝

Because our dining room only has 18 tables, we do not take traditional reservations — but we do offer call-aheads to help make your visit smoother during one of our busiest weekends of the year.

📞 Here’s how it works:

• Call when you are ON YOUR WAY to the restaurant.
• If we are not currently on a wait, we can add you to the list while you head in.
• We hold your place for 10 minutes after your quoted arrival time.
• If we are on a wait, we’ll give you an estimated seating time so you can enjoy Aggieville while you wait!

🎓 Graduation Weekend Reminder:
To be seated, at least HALF of your party must be present. If less than half arrives, we may need to seat the next party in line first to keep things moving fairly for everyone.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during such a high-traffic weekend. Our team works hard to accommodate as many families and graduates as possible, and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you! ✨
