Nic's Italian Steak Crab House

Celebrate our 47th anniversary and first time in cottonwood and nicos. mary was our excellent, personabler server. she did this special evening exactly right. my man was in a very serious motorcycle accident last autumn and recovers slowly but safely. it was such a nice place to celebrate and have my favourite dinner. Italian we started with great cocktails and a unique antipasto that we shared. the olives reminded me of the muffuletta we had in new orleans. our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. soon we realized that we were above our heads when the dereen suppe or salat contained. my chicken soup was excellent and we also had brot with large olive oil and fresh garlic. my man had a wonderful lasagne with excellent Italian sausage. I had the carbonara. it was very tasty, but I would leave the mushrooms when they broke down the sauce. our server brought a free sweet cannoli to the wonderful meal. Make sure nicos contain in their dinning plans near cottonwood. you will not regret it!

Great place that looked nothing like what it looked on the outside.

My sister got married and we had 15 people in the back party room to enjoy a meal together. It was dark and somewhat cramped but it worked as there aren't many restaurants in Cottonwood that can accommodate a large group. Oh yeah and the food was awesome! We also had a newer server but he ended up being great. We waited about 20 min before seeing a server even for water, but we were patient as they were packed in the restaurant. Appetizers- we ordered a few Crostini boards for the table right away and they were overall pretty tasty. Crabby mac n cheese- not my favorite as it reminded me of a tuna helper. (I tried this as my mom ordered it) Entrees- I think we found the best things on the menu ! Mahi-Mahi Roma: ok... this sounded interesting on paper and it exceeded our expectations! Definitely a foodgasm and we are craving it as I am reminiscing about it from April! We got it with the Parmesan risotto and it was a match made in heaven! Get it!! I want more! The risotto was cooked perfectly and I can't even describe what was happening in my mouth while eating the mahi roma and risotto together... crave worthy and for sure the best thing I ate in Cottonwood. Clams Portofino- light pasta dish with yummy clams. It was really good, but the mahi roma hit all the spots. Overall, I will be back here and getting the Mahi Mahi Roma if I lived closer, but when back in AZ I will venture here again for it!!

Has great appetizers at this very nice restaurant. The Manila clams are to die for. Stuffed mushrooms were a hit with our group also.

We were seated almost at once. Our waitress, Paula Jean, was welcoming, got our drinks, suggested some special, placed our orders, an the food was fabulous. Of all the places we've stoped on our road trip, this is the first time the manager came to our table to ask how everything was and if there was anything she could do to improve our stay. The food portion were so filling, we didn't have room for dessert, even though we wanted too. We highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a wonderful eating experience. Definitely a five star experience.
