We had a very nice dinner at Nicky's Italian Cafe. The service was very good and the meal was as well. It is a rather small restaurant and was filled on a Tuesday evening in late fall so I would definitely recommend a reservation. My wife and I both had traditional Italian dishes both of which were very well done.... more

Our vacation includes at least one or two dinners to Nicky’s Café in Vineyard Haven. The food is absolutely scrumptious! We begin with the delicious Baked-Stuffed Mushrooms as an appetizer and for me the equally delicious Seafood Fettuccini Alfredo for dinner. This dish can easily feed two people. I recommend splitting the dish when you receive your plate because once... more

Living on the Vineyard, I venture quite a bit to restaurants on the island and always like to try something new. I went to Nicky's one time and it will forever by my last. We had a late reservation, brought a bottle of wine (byob) and both of us had a 3 course meal. After many attempts to get a... more

Laura Barbera, owner

We at Nicky's do apologize for any inconvenience suffered by the writer of this review. We are a very small restaurant and because we are in a "dry" town where there is little or no nightlife, we close by 10:00 p.m. The staff is very well aware of this and absolutely should not have rushed you out the door before...

I don't usually write in on these surveys but felt the need given the last awful comment. I've eaten the shrimp scampi many times here it's been consistently great every time. I'm a big seafood fan so I've eaten seafood all over. I happen to live on Martha's vineyard and can tell you, as can many other locals, that if... more

We ate here on Sept. 11 2008 a family of nine (5 adults, 4 kids). The prices were outrageous for the quality of food. The service was mediocre however they had no problem adding a 20% gratuity. The shrimp scampi was tasteless and possibly made with frozen cooked shrimp, not what we'd expect at an island restaurant. The kids meals... more

I was schooled to enjoy the restaurants of Boston's North End, Providence's Federal Hill and New York's Little Italy....but nothing compares to this guy's gorgonzola gnocchi. I've enjoyed many other entrees here, but only when the gnocchi wasn't on the ever changing menu. A great place, with very good service, and wonderful food. A guarantee 4 star experience. But shhhhhh..,don't... more

My husband, daughter and I frequented this restaurant during our stay on the Vineyard and every meal was fantastic! A must is the Stuffed Mushrooms, Tenderloin and Seafood Alfredo. My daughter and I divided the seafood dish there was that much on one plate. We loved the idea of having olive oil, which is created by the owners with herbs... more

We've visited Nicky's a couple times while visiting family on Martha's Vineyard, most recently in Dec. 2006. Usually I find Italian menus a bit boring and predictable, but there are lots of tempting dishes at Nicky's. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is so helpful and friendly. (And, remember to bring your own wine. The Vineyard is STILL dry.) more

Dont miss Nicky's. Worth trying to find this place. We had the nightly specials and they were excellent. $46 without dessert. Remember to BYOB! The only regret we have is that we did not go to Nicky's earlier in our stay on the island, so we could have went back again. Just great. Such a neat little place. more
