Love Nikki C's, what a great place to go. They got the right ambiance, the right atmosphere, the right attitude. There's an old guy in a bowler hat that serves you bread with parm and oil. And on top of that they got the best wedge I've ever had. Pizzas great, noodles are great, just come here and enjoy, honestly

This follow up review is to reiterate that the food, drinks, service, and ambiance are very good at Nicki C's. We came to Nicki C's for seven years and approx. three times a month-it was one of our favorite restaurants. The issue we have is that I was robbed in the middle of my meal inside the restaurant and then learning that there were no cameras to help the police find out who the guy was that did this. This was an incredibly traumatic experience, and seven months later, on an emotional level, I am still not over it. I know you have cameras at your other restaurant, and in light of what happened, there should be cameras at Nicki C's to protect the patrons there as well. I'll delete my reviews the minute the cameras are installed. Here's wishing everyone a Very SAFE New Year.

We've been going to Nikki C's for awhile now and there's a reason. You always are guaranteed good food in a nice, cozy environment with great service. The price is a little high for the pastas but I guess that's what I get for just ordering oil and garlic pasta at a restaurant lol Everyone always leaves happy with their food. They have a very small parking lot in the back that gets busy and street parking in the front (but make sure to read the signs).

Intimate spot, small venue, amazing food! Came here on a Friday at 5pm with some colleagues. Service was quick. It seemed to be a family owned business - they were quick to refill my Diet Coke which I loved. Let's talk about the spread.... Everything was delicious. The calamari sticks were fresh and crispy. So flavorful! Sliders were juicy and cooked to perfection. Garlic bread was complimentary and sooooo buttery! I want to go back and try their pasta. Definitely worth it. I will be back. Until then 5 stars for service and food!

The ambience was amazing it felt like Christmas Very clean food and was fresh and hot the service was perfect I loved it will come back for sure for sure

The overall dining experience was great! Melissa did an outstanding job taking care of us on a busy Saturday night. Once our group showed up, the hostess was very nice and gave us the table in the corner that had a little iron gate around it. Loved that. Melissa came right over and taked us throw the menu and gave us time to look through the menu and then came back over and took our drink order. BTW the drinks were so good. We ordered like 4 apps and again, so good. Every one in the group loved their food even the short rib glutten free pizza was one of the best they had. The only reason why this wasn't a 5 star was that my steak was a tad bit over cooked. I ordered it rare and it was more like med. Would I come back here, YES! BTW Melissa if you are reading this, my friends are still upset that they didn't pay for the dinner. We are that one table that have a few people to ask for the bill and I beat them to it. :)

First time here. Dim with an old style tavern ambiance. Was not busy on a Saturday night at 7pm. I know what I came there for - Linguini & Clams! We got both styles, enjoyed both very much. I love places that give chopped clams in addition to shelled on your plate. Their clams were massive, first time seeing that. Caesar salad was great. Will try new dishes the next time. Our bread was cold and over-baked, burnt on the bottom so we just picked at it. Hopefully it was just an off day looking forward to trying it again the next time.

Finally i get to try Nikki C which has been around for years. Food is great. Service is friendly and attentive. Ambiance is lively and charming. Not a quiet place. it also has a bar area with sports playing on televisions. Interior is very dark with dim lighting. Came here around 6:30p on a weekday night. We were seated at a booth by the wall. Once sat down, bread and vinegar oil mix were served right away while we checked out the menu. Everything tastes great and fresh. We ordered clam linguine, Margherita pizza and a Cobb salad. I am delighted to see minced clams and huge clams with shells in the pasta. There is limited parking in the front lot and back lot of the restaurant. Their website states that after 5p, customers can park next door at the Catalina paint store and auto shop (both front lot and back lot ok). Street parking along Rosemead works too

Very good! No complaints at all! Upon seated bread is served, warm bread and the vinegar was perfectly tasted. We started with a Cesar salad, and all the main courses are very good and the portions were big!! Don't miss their tiramisu too! The people are friendly, just they didn't come by very often. The dining room is dark, music is a bit loud ....

The food here is always delicious. Nice cozy atmosphere with a nice bar. The service is just ok. They are limited staff so the wait is a little long but they are doing the best they can. Great place to hang out and be incognito. Very Good drinks. Note: They have a great lunch menu, and happy hour. I did not take pictures of my food or the menu because I forgot lol
