Niko's Bistro - Calgary

I was craving Italian cuisine, so I asked my boyfriend to find an Italian restaurant, and we decided to try Niko's Bistro. We ordered spaghettini carbonara, penne calabrese, bruschetta, and cream caramel for dessert. The food completely satisfied my craving! It was my first authentic Italian experience here in Calgary, and the staff was very friendly too! I'm definitely planning to bring my friends next time!

We took 11 family members from age 9 to 80 to Niko’s Bistro and had a fabulous experience. Our family waitress was great, food was delicious and overall experience was perfect. This small Bistro has a neighborhood feel but accommodated a large party (which includes young children and a vegetarian) exceptionally well.

The chef does a great job with a limited menu. We brought a family of 11 in a restaurant laid out for four-tops. They did a great job serving a group with ages from 8 to 80. The story on their website is of an immigrant coming to the US and eventually having his own restaurant — that has been recognized as one of the top 100 restaurants in Canada. Berry good food. Reasonable prices. Not a late night place. They close at 9.

Niko’s is a little restaurant in Kensington. Our waitress was so nice I couldn’t decide between the Cannelloni and the Manicotti so the waitress told me I could have one of each on my plate to try since the order came with 2 anyways. So nice and accommodating. Both were excellent. The only reason that I give the restaurant atmosphere 4 stars is because the restaurant itself is small. And there is no outside patio.

My experience of Nikos Bistro was positive. It appeared clean and organized. The food was fabulous seriously...fabulous) fresh... seasoned well and balanced. The service was promt and courteous. Highly recommended.
