Excellent meal as expected. Can’t believe it’s been so long since we came back to Niko’s. One of my favourite spots in Kensington.
The food and service was excellent as usual!
My husband and I came for dinner on April 1sts for our wedding anniversary the service was outstanding due to COVID-19 we have not been out for almost 10 months, the food was really do you delicious and not to mention the really good service given by Samantha and Victoria they took great care of us,we will be back for sure
Thank you
COVID has played huge impact here.
Less atmosphere caused by separation glass. Abrupt service, also the result of COVID (fewer staff).
Good menu and drink.
Overall, the charges are high and pre-COVID.
VFM has suffered; used to visit 5-6x per year. Now based on this experience, will not return until VFM, atmosphere and service improves.
This place is without a doubt a gem! Niko takes pride in his establishment and you can tell by his food and service. Get the calamari and carbonara.

This place is always top notch. The food is incredible and the service is perfect. This is our go to date night. We will keep coming back again and again.
This was a birthday/valentines lunch. We had their calamari, which is the best. They also make it gluten free and most things can be gluten free on their menu. We had the pizzolla cod, which was also delicious. Service is always outstanding and Niko always comes by and checks on everyone’s meal. It’s a very personable experience.
Great little gem. Staff are always friendly and food is excellent.
The best Italian comfort food in calgary. I’ve been to Niko’s dozens of times and I’m consistently impressed!
Always glad to go to NIKOS, felt completely safe and they take care of anything you need. Glad to see they are still open in this climate and welcoming guests back to good food and good people.
