What to Order
The relaxed atmosphere of Uncle Nicky’s easily translates to the menu. Light, simple, and refreshing are just some of the ways to describe the dishes. The menu is built around antipasti, pane tostada, salads, sandwiches, and more. Not only do they serve Italian staples, but there are also all day brunch items to indulge in as well.
You can’t miss out on ordering a pane tostada (think open-faced focaccia toast). The Classico is the perfect combination of whipped ricotta, Prosciutto di San Daniele, with Calabrian chili honey & basil that is sure to melt in your mouth.
An extensive collection of salads and antipasti is sure to pair with any main course you choose. When it comes to pasta, you can’t go wrong with ordering rigatoni with Alfredo Cream Sauce. Don’t forget to order a side of focaccia bread.
Of course, you can order the most delicious desserts just on their own. The cruller is so light it just melts in your mouth with one bite. All of their pastries are baked fresh daily and are worth picking up more than one to take home.
Uncle Nicky’s menu is not only full of great options, but they also are sure to label any dietary restrictions clearly. Vegetarian, vegan, dairy, and gluten-free are easily spotted on the menu, making ordering a breeze.
