WE enjoy eating at Niko's, always such a treat! Service is excellent!

Great, local bistro with excellent service, great food and reasonable prices.

Nikos is where my husband and I had our first date and we continue to go back for the food, service and ambience. It’s a great, local, family run spot with good value.

Nikos is a great family owned restaurant. It was quite busy with a good amount of energy that made it a fun evening celebrating our anniversary. The service was just the right balance of attention and privacy. The food was spot on!

Everything about Niko's Bistro is fabulous - from Niko and his team to the food, the ambience and clean washrooms! My favourite Italian restaurant in town!

Awesome meal alway enjoy Niko’s. One of our favourite restaurant in Calgary.

We enjoyed a wonderful Saturday evening at Niko's Bistro. Our server was very welcoming and attentive, the food was great. Always a great experience at Niko's

Amazing food, personal service led to an excellent evening.

It is always a treat to dine at our neighbourhood Italian Bistro. From Niko at the door welcoming us and checking our vaccine status to the prompt, courteous attention of the servers (Niko's daughter's) we felt welcome and safe. The meal was excellent as usual, family Italian favorite,s and the price point allows you to bring the entire family, from children to grandparents and in between.

Fantastic Food Experience…
Taste and Smells from the Mediterranean right in Kensington.
Family run and Inspired by their Roots.

Excellent food and service.Good choice of wine. Highly recommend.

Great place! The food was amazing and the staff were super friendly.

Best Italian food in Calgary and friendliest service. Our favourite restaurant!

Niko’s is an amazing restaurant with great food and even better customer service!

As always I enjoyed the bruchetta and calamari. I enjoyed the veal with shrimp for the first time.

I found the room very noisy, but I guess is dependent on the other patrons

Next time I have to same room for dessert

The staff are welcoming the minute you come in the door. Service was warm and helpful but not overbearing. All good choices were fresh and delicious. We shared the shrimp and Sambuca for starters. Delicate taste. My sister had the papardelle & salmon and I had the gnocchi. They tailored the spicy level to my taste.
I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Service was excellent, food awesome! Well priced and reasonable. We will be back!

Great food. Great price reasonable portions! Not pretentious in the slightest!

My husband and I had dinner on September 2nd 2021 the food was out standing,it was our second time at nikos bistro, this will be our place for dinner, our server lvana was really good at her job in taking of us, really good chef .

Food, service, and quality will not disappoint. The Bistro was packed mid week for dinner. That speaks volumes.

Everything was good.

We’ll likely be back.

Excellent food and service at a reasonable price. Entrees were appropriately sized. A very nice dining experience.

I think this was our 3rd or 4th visit to Nico’s. We really enjoy the food and usually we have very good service. This time the food was delicious but our waiter was kind of a jerk. Condescending was the word we all agreed upon.

We ordered bruschetta and soup appetizers, veal main courses and desserts. All was delicious. Service was friendly, efficient and accommodating. Cozy and comfortable place that is very popular.

Service was great, checked on us just the necessary amount of times, and when needed. Food was tasty, like a home made meal. Ambience was quiet, and we were not rushed out the door like many places are doing these days. A little pricy for the value, but overall good, and I would visit again. ideal for eating alone, or with close friends to visit and catch up.

I had the lemon veal - they did it gluten-free and it was delicious!

As usual the food was wonderful at Niko’s. This is our favourite place to go for a quick meal. It is also a favourite place to go for a nice meal for a special occasion

Exceptional service! Offered us a better table when a window seat became available. Great food!

It is always a treat to go to Niko’s, food was fantastic, service was outstanding Richard took great care of us, just another fabulous evening out, they do not disappoint!!!
Thank you!

Excellent as always, this is our go-to Italian restaurant.

I don't know how I never knew about this little Italian bistro in Kensington before. This is a great place for warm atmosphere, good food and friendly service. I had the Pappardelle con Salmone while my dining partners tried the stracciatella, calamari and Spaghettini Fruiti del Mar. Everything was freshly prepared and delicious. Definitely planning to go back.

This small local restaurant blew me away! You feel like family walking in and the service was top notch! All of the food dishes were amazing! I can't wait to go back to try their other dishes!!

As always the food & staff were outstanding

Fantastic as always!
Our favourite restaurant by far.
The food and service was spectacular and very well priced.
Thank you again Niko.
Can't wait until we come again soon!

We’ve eaten here several times and they’ve never disappointed us. The food is always great and the servers are awesome, very friendly attentive and fun.

Small space with grrrreat food and service. We shall return.

After a long spell eating at home Niko's provided atmosphere, good service and great food.

We ate there on Friday, June 2 at 9. I've had an excellent meal at Niko's a number of years ago so were very excited that we were able to get a reservation.

First the food...we treated ourselves to some of the pricier items on the menu and felt like we wouldn't detect any flavour other than saltiness. My partner ordered the beef tenderloin and after a long wait got a tiny, overcooked, over-salted, gamey piece of meat smothered in a sauce that was advertised as a brandy cream sauce with mushrooms but tasted like a sludge with salt. My food was also very disappointing - overcooked, oversalted pasta sprinkled with broken mussel shells.

And now the service...the server was openly hostile from the moment we walked in. She rolled her eyes at us while we were talking to her and we cheerfully ignored it. When things got worse is when I asked if I could get a takeout container for my full sized untouched pasta. She brought me a small clamshell sandwich container. I said that looks small and she grabbed my plate and fork out of my hand and said "I GUARANTEE this will fit" as she furiously started ramming my noodles and seafood into the too small container, at times using her fingers. I made a comment about getting sauce all over my car to which she replied "that's what the plastic bag is for". When she finally gave up with all the uneaten mussels still in the plate, she asked if she wanted them included as well. "Only if I have to pay for them!!" Finally she went to the kitchen and got a normal sized pasta takeout container (I had assumed they were out of these haha!). I got another flippant comment when I asked her to bring the debit machine. It was ridiculously aggressive and harsh that I wondered if someone was playing a joke on me.

Anyway, I hope the terrible food and horrendous service was due to a bad night in the kitchen and a server that needs a career change. Better luck to you than I had!

We had a lovely dinner. Our waitress was very good. Food was good and everything was hot when served. The only issue I had was that the sauce was spicy and I wasn’t expecting it to be. I didn’t see anything on the menu to indicate it would be. Otherwise is was great to get out to a restaurant and we had a lovely time.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and evening. Great service; great food! Thanks Niko’s for a terrific experience!
