If you are in the mood for authentic Italian food, then look no
further than one of Sugar Land’s hidden treasures-- Nick’s Italian
Restaurant. As soon as you walk in the doors you are greeted by
Nick himself and if you have met him a couple of times before you
will get a big Italian hug and a kiss for each cheek!
Nick’s is a pretty little family restaurant located at 11511 FM
1464. (it’s a little farm road just north of Highway 90 and the
Grand Parkway) You wouldn’t know it was there unless you had heard
it through the grapevine or went on a Sunday drive. But as soon as
you eat, you will remember it always.
For an indulgent night, free from worries of Atkin’s or South
Beach, start your meal off with an order of Nick’s Shrimp-fresh
garlicky shrimp smothered in a rich cream sauce. Don‘t relinquish
your shrimp plate until you sop up all of that delicious sauce
with their fresh garlic bread. (Did I mention this was not going
to be a light meal?)
I have sampled many wonderful dishes from their menu, but my
favorite, by far, is the Pistachio Crusted Chicken. They
take thinly pounded chicken breast, cover it with ground
pistachios (and a stick of butter) and top it with a sauce made
from sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and mushrooms. This is
my ultimate comfort food, especially when paired with the
perfectly al dente Spaghetti with Red Sauce.
As if that weren’t enough, Nick’s has a nice selection of Italian
wines and delectable desserts such as their incredibly rich
Chocolate Mousse drizzled with strawberry sauce!
So, put on your stretchy pants and bring the kids to Nick’s
Italian Restaurant for a true Italian experience. It is sure to
leave you sumptuously stuffed and happy.

Away from the rush of the big city, Nick’s Italian
Restaurant is located on the west side of Sugar Land at 11511 FM 1464.
Anyone coming to Nick’s has got to be impressed by not only his old world
charm in greeting every guest at the front door welcoming them in, but by
the wonderful dishes coming out of the kitchen. A big portion of his menu
has been forwarded from his original location on Bellaire Boulevard in
Houston. The delicious meals can only be attributed to the fresh
ingredients used in the preparation. “Half of the fun is picking
everything out. I am jumping left and right trying to get the best
quality” is something Nick has been known to say about the freshness of
the ingredients used.
Nick Kaltsas is the proprietor of Nick’s Italian
Restaurant. He and his partner, Carmen Kaltsas, bought what was formerly
called The Shade Tree Restaurant. They have turned it into a warm, quiet
and welcoming place where anyone who comes through the door is family for
as long as they are at Nick’s. From the Mahogany wood floors in the
restaurant to the oak tree garden in back, it is easy to see why customers
come from his original location, as well as the Galleria area, in Houston
to enjoy great food, a great atmosphere and some relaxing or romantic
moments at Nick’s.
Nick grew up in
Volos, a small town in Greece where
his parents, Dimitrios and Vasiliki Kaltsas were farmers and grew grapes,
wheat, cotton and olive trees. Nick received his early training in the
hotel business in Greece and always noted when his bosses were kind and
gracious to guests. Nick says, “To me it was like school. I really
appreciate when people come, and I like to make people feel welcome.”
