Experience The Café
Connected to Sam's Italian Deli & Market, Nick's Wine Bar Café offers a different way to experience the flavors you already love. The menu features handcrafted pizzas, pastas, seasonal dishes, and guest favorites like Nick's Chicken Milanese and lobster ravioli. With seasonal updates alongside beloved classics, there's always something new to discover.
Nick's Wine Bar Café grew from the same philosophy that has shaped Sam's for decades: create more ways for guests to enjoy great food while staying true to what already works. The wine bar brings a relaxed sit-down experience to the same place families have trusted since 1980. Guests can shop the Italian market, pick up their favorite deli items, and settle in for a glass of wine and a plate of lobster ravioli—all in one visit.
"One of the things people appreciate about the wine bar is our wine program. Sam's carries over 300 domestic and imported wines, and the team will open a bottle from the shelf for your table. If you don't finish it, they'll reseal it for you to take home. That's not something most restaurants do, and it's a big part of what makes this side of Sam's feel different."
