Nick's Italian Cafe opened in 1977 in historic downtown McMinnville, which is now the heart of the Oregon wine country. Nick's grew up with the wine industry, quickly becoming a favorite gathering place for many of area winemakers. Nick's wine list reflects this friendship.
The format of a multi-course, fixed-menu dinner was borrowed from many fine restaurants in the North Beach section of San Francisco, where Nick and his family often dined. This concept was novel here at the time, but news of the restaurant spread, and soon diners were coming from Salem, Portland, and beyond.

When Chef Nick Peirano started the restaurant, his father, Raymond and mother, Georgia helped in the early years. Today, his daughters, Carmen and Tomiko continue the tradition of family involvement.
In addition to his restaurant and his family, Nick is proud of his long-time association with the International Pinot noir Celebration held every year in McMinnville. A founding director, he has worked fourteen years as a board member and as a chef of this very successful event.
