Nicoletta's Table: A Local Favorite Restaurant in Lake Oswego

Nicoletta’s Table has long been a favorite spot for Lake Oswego locals—especially for those of us in Old Town, who love slipping in through the back gate! Whether it's the live music, the cozy ambiance, or the gelato from the marketplace, it’s a place that brings the neighborhood together.

Evening walks often lead us to Nicoletta’s patio, where live music fills the air. It's not unusual to see neighbors stopping by for a scoop of gelato, picking up dinner to-go, or gathering for a meal with friends and family.

My husband Michael and I especially enjoy weeknight dinners on the patio. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and live music creates the perfect midweek treat.

Live Music in September on the Patio

Enjoy live performances on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 6–8 p.m. on the patio (weather permitting). It’s a lovely way to unwind and take in the atmosphere.Here's the live music line up for September

This Tuesday, we were treated to an incredible performance by Tom Grant, who played piano and sang beautifully throughout the evening. Restaurant owner Shari Newman stopped by our table to say hello—she just returned from her daughter’s wedding in Italy! We also got a great photo of Shari and General Manager Courtney with Tom Grant.

Their gazpacho soup is on the menu through the summer!

The service is consistently excellent. Great menu and wine list too. On Tuesday evening, I had the ahi tuna special with wonderful fresh vegetables and my husband had their Verde salad and a meat calazone. My favorite dessert is from Nicoletta's - the Tiramisu.

Make reservations on their website, by calling, on Open Table. Great take out too!

Celebrations & Community Moments

We hosted a lovely dinner party at our home in December with all the food from Nicoletta's: great Cesar salad, vegetable and sausage lasagna and tiramisu. We've all celebrated many birthdays there. A special memory for me was the evening when we celebrated our neighbor Ali Afghan winning the Lake Oswego City Council race.
