I love that we have this place close to home, best pizza in Murphy, Wylie and Sachse. Great place to go for a nice dinner with my wife, good ambiance, friendly staff and I love the food. Service is always on point, keeping the drinks flowing. I called them tonight on Halloween on fairly short notice and they whipped up 6 pizzas for me like it was nothing. Their gluten free pizza is the best I've ever had. The crust is perfect! read more

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). read more

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! read more

The portions are tiny and the food unseasoned. Not to mention they will give you moldy food. So be careful

Excellent food. Great breakfast, too! The service is wonderful and I'll be back for dinner in a few days with some friends.

Food was excellent. Something a little different but still delicious and comfortable. Flavors delighted my tongue. So glad they decided to open for breakfast! You owe it to yourself to try them. Service, as always, is excellent. read more

Food was great, we had chicken parmigiana and split it and enjoyed it a lot. We have eaten there for many years and keep going back.

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

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. read more

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.

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. read more

Overall experience was a big: MEH. The food was great, don't get me wrong. What is lacking at Niki's is the service. We waited almost an hour for our food, and the restaurant was not jam packed. I never felt special while I was at Niki's Italian Bistro, I felt forgotten. The food was fabulous though. I ordered the lasagna and that was delicious. Also, I loved their dressing on their salad. read more

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!!!! read more

Niki's Italian Bistro - Beautiful Bar. - Italian Near Me - Murphy, Texas

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 read more

The only reason I am giving this place four stars instead of five is the prices. One adult and two children $37 seems a bit unreasonable (we ordered a adult meal $13 something and two meals off the kids menu....no drinks, appetizers, salads, desserts...etc.) The food was delivered fast, hot and the gentleman was friendly. No silverware or napkins were included so if you are needing these I would ask. I am adding pictures of the food but keep in mind we asked for extra sauce which they did put....thanks! The chicken dinner with asparagus and angel hair pasta was good, no complaints. The kids Alfredo was also delicious. The lasagna was really good, the sauce was a little sweeter than I like but still really good. I wouldn't say the portions are large enough to share unless you are getting a app or salad as well, the portion was generous. read more

Best NY Style Pizza! Crispy and just right! We have been coming here for years and the family is originally from NY. We went to a different NY pizza place just to try it out and we were extremely disappointed. read more

Door Dash delivered the wrong order so I went to the restaurant to get the correct order. They provided it with a Cannoli. I offered to pay something and they declined, patted me on my shoulder and apologized. The owners are snacking and I'll continue coming and tipping their world class service! read more

It's like a best kept secret! The restaurant was empty, the service was superb and the food was awesome. Bonus that a family of 6 can easily eat for under $60. Their extra large pizzas are HUGE and only $13.99! You are a fool to skip this one. read more

Zero stars. Total disappointment. I'm certain those that have left stellar reviews are limited in authentic palate. The "stuffed" portobello mushrooms were the size of a quarter. And I do not say this lightly, but I am convinced there was absolutely no crab or shrimp within said quarter sized stuffed portobello mushroom. When I tell you it was just like the ones that you can buy from Walmart, the four cheese ones, that's what it was, but smothered in some god-awful raw garlic sauce. It literally tasted like they had spooned out raw minced garlic from the jar and sprinkled it in some kind of cream based sauce and poured it over Walmart stuffed mushrooms. It was not palatable. It tasted like a mistake. And let's talk about chicken marsala. For those who don't know, chicken marsala sauce is made from marsala wine, chicken stock and cream, it shouldn't be red. It's not a tomato-based sauce. So it was a bad sign when it came out and the damn thing was red. It was tomato-based. It was not the beautiful nutty, sweet-savory light sauce that I was expecting it to be, as it should be, instead it was a heavy thick red sauce. And it was disgusting. The noodles tasted literally pre-cooked and just reheated and served. Swollen. Mushy. Was not fresh. Nothing about it was fresh. I am so disappointed and had waited some time to go and have this experience after reading the reviews and thought wow we have an authentic place here. We don't. And if I have to get up and walk to the drink service area to ask for a refill of a beverage, you have a problem with service. Sorry Murphy TX, if you think this is good Italian food, you don't know good. And all the prices are more than what is stated on their website...significantly more. Paid $40 for one person. Do NOT recommend at all. read more

Large Pepperoni & Mushroom and extra cheese, takeout. Definitely did not have extra cheese & mushroom was minimal at best. Paid at the bar & the bartender was not masked. Lights out front were off making it hard to find. 1st & last time there most likely. read more

This is hands down the best Italian food in DFW. Family owned and run for 17 years, when people ask me about where to go I always tell them here and let them know Mr. chicken parmigiana sent you :) read more

We LOVE this place. Been going for 5 years and always have exceptional service. The food is sooo good no matter what you order! Wait staff is great! They are doing it the right way! read more

Unfortunately not the best experience. I don't know if we caught them at a down time but can in for dinner around 5pm on a weekday. Rolls were stale and had clearly been sitting for a while. Pizza was average at best. Tortellini with pink sauce was actually very solid. The restaurant workers were eating in the dining room while we were dining which was a little weird as the waitress would have to stop eating if we wanted a drink refill etc which felt awkward. I will probably give this place another shot as I think it can be really good. I'm pretty sure we caught them on an off peak time when and may have been different if we came and hour or two later. read more

Overpriced, underwhelming, mediocre Italian food. Only tried it because it's one of Dennis Collins favorite places. Portion sizes are small and too salty. Once and done, won't be back. read more

Niki's was disappointing. We ordered a calzone. It was more like a hot pocket. I'm pretty sure a hot pocket has more ingredients. We also ordered a ravioli. It was ok. There wasn't enough sauce on it. So overall disappointing. Might try again to see if it was a bad night or just normal. read more

Took my girls for the first time and we had a fabulous evening. Great service. Great food. Great ambience. I had chicken Florentine and my girls had baked pasta. We all loved it and ate every bite. read more

I've been coming here for years and just recently went gluten free. They added gluten free pasta that actually tastes good!! The day I went in was the first day of happy hour and it was a great deal!! $4 for a glass of wine is insane!!! The service has always been amazing and still is. read more

Nikis is like home to me. They are so curious every time I come to eat I get to sit wherever I please and immediately receive fresh rolls. The rolls are my FAVORITE PART. I normally order chicken aristocrat and stuffed mushrooms with a greek salad. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND. they always set me up with their house red blend so I can never complain. Nikis treats you like family so if you're into that, I would definitely reccomend checking it out. It's a good little secret spot. read more

Great little neighborhood restaurant. I love the simplicity and deliciousness of the calzones. Good for take out pizza, good for a sit down meal and glad it wine. Always great service. read more

Very good neighborhood italian restaurant. Good authentic Italian at great prices. Exceptional Italian wine list with realistic pricing. Looking forward to visiting again, read more

To start with Niki's is family owned and operated. So when you walk in you feel welcome and at home. Everything on the menu is delicious! We will never order pizza from anywhere else. The pasta dishes are divine. The garlic rolls should be in a food group in and of itself. (Now I'm hungry.) read more

We visited Niki's for the first time last night and will definitely be going back...weekly, if not more. It's very quaint inside and I love that it's clearly family owned and operated. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. I did see a previous review from 2/28 which indicated the staff were not wearing masks but this was not our experience. Everyone we came into contact with was properly wearing face masks. read more

I ordered the special with spaghetti and was pleasantly surprised. The meatballs weren't the best, but portion large, making my take out good for two meals. The staff was friendly, I will definitely order again and try something else on the menu. Overall, good experience. read more

We have been going to Nikki's for years, when Covid hit, we started getting delivery. Food is always great. People are always amazing! Tonight we ordered Nikki's through Uber Eats and they failed to deliver full order. Nikki's worked hard to prepare and deliver the missing food ASAP, even though UberEats was the one at fault for not delivering all our order. Thank you Nikki's for making it right! read more

Soo tasty would recommend Low price and great food Killer lasagna and spaghetti and meat balls read more

Loved our meal from Niki's tonight. Niki's Fettuccine, Pasta Combo and the Antipasto. Will be back to try the pizza!

Was pretty good, just check your order if your ordering to go....make sure u have everything your ordered. They forgot my bread so I had to drive back to pick it up...I would go back to eat there next time the Ambience looks great! read more

Great food and great service. It was our first time to visit this restaurant. Wife and I and another couple. First they brought rolls which were very fresh and warm and good. We had the Antipasto salad which was good size. Wife and I shared it. We had Spaghetti Special, Chicken Piccata, and Chicken Aristocrat. It was all very good with large portions. The chicken was tender enough to cut with a fork. The Aristocrat sauce was really good. We all said we will definitely be coming back again. read more
