Niki's Italian Bistro

Local Italian restaurant - the interior is very homey and the service here is nice! We came here around 8:30 PM on a Friday night, so we might have caught them at an off time, but the food just did not amaze me. The pizzas were fine. Just a little bland. NOTE: they close at 10 PM (not 11 PM like the website says).

Tucked away in a strip mall.. glad I found this hidden gem. Garlic Bread & Fettuccine Alfredo were so good! Everything is fresh, homemade.

Highly recommend this place!!! Food delicious, excellent service; loved it!!! Music is on point!

I've ordered takeout pizza a few times from here. The service is good and i really enjoy their pizza. The ambiance is pretty laid back.

First timer... never to return! It's a quaint little place, and we looked forward to dinner. The server had zero personality and really appeared to not want to be there. The food was not spectacular, as a matter of fact, it tasted like hospital food or previously frozen... thawed and served! We had lasagna and spaghetti & meatballs. There is nothing memorable about either of the dishes. However, the salad with house dressing was delicious, as was the bread... not worth returning for. It took forever to get our meal, once our meal was delivered, no one ever checked on us (The staff were all on their phones - see picture).So when we were ready to go, we had to wave down someone and get their attention to ask for our check. A man came over to ask if everything was OK ... I shrugged my shoulders and then said, "are you the manager" he said "yes," we told him our concerns and then told him we probably wouldn't be back. He said "OK" and walked away. As we watched him walk away, he went behind the bar and begin talking to another server, and I immediately knew that he shared our conversation because that server immediately turned her head to look over at us! #HighschoolBehavior. I don't like sharing negative posts, but This One definitely deserved it! Everyone has a bad night now and then it was just too much all at once!

On the hunt for better pizza and still haven't found it. I'm learning that Lisanti food service gives everyone in this area ingredients and so the pizza is all the same crust and bland toppings. The restaurant was empty on a Friday night. I ended up paying $21 for a large pizza. The chicken Alfredo portion was so disappointing--a half filled tin, although the amount of chicken was reasonable. My husband literally thought I had eaten half on the way home haha. He called the owner who was more than understanding about the issue. The best thing was the garlic rolls that came with my pasta. I think I ordered the stromboli some months back and it was actually good--so I wanted to try it again, but now I've decided this place maybe isn't for me. The interior is cute.

We came in for an early dinner and we were the first table sat. The waiter greeted us and we chose a booth. The tv at the bar was loud, so loud I could barely hear my daughter talk. Our food came out before the bread they typically serve. When the bread did come out it was hot and greasy but tasteless.The spaghetti works was great. My daughter enjoyed the cheese ravioli.Two people sat at the bar and our waiter lost track of us. I had to wait up at the register to remind him I needed our check. He didn't offer us dessert and I didn't want to wait any longer. For being the only table there, it was a very long dining experience.I wish the tv had been off and just the music playing. But that's just me.

Was greeted and seated as soon as we walked in, very sweet staff and attentive. I got the lasagna (OUTSTANDING!!!!) and my friend got the penne a la Italiana and it was also delicious. 10/10 from me definitely worth the try

Best Italian Restaurant in Murphy everything tastes delicious. Service is the best we love Tony and Kenny. And it's the most beautiful restaurant in Murphy hands down!!!!

The pizza is so good! We have been coming to this place over a decade. Their pizza is amazing and we have a great experience!
