Nicky's Coal Fired

On Thursday, December 8, 2016, Nicky's Coal Fired, an Italian-inspired restaurant, debuted in The Nations. Tony and Caroline Galzin, the husband and wife team of Fifty First Kitchen & Bar, have come up with a new concept. The Stocking 51 Building, which once housed the Belle Meade Hosiery Mill, is now home to Nicky's. The building's industrial characteristics, such as textured brick walls, plate-glass steel windows, and raw timbers, have been preserved and incorporated into the space. There is seating for about 100 people, including an outside terrace.

Nicky's is a hands-on establishment, with all charcuterie, pasta, bitters, infusions, and shrubs created in-house. While coal-fired pizza is unquestionably popular, dishes such as spicy Gulf shrimp spaghetti, gnocchi with beef shank sugo, and cavatelli bolognese are absolute standouts. You should finish your dinner with one of Nicky's handcrafted gelatos or sorbets. A temporary plant-based cuisine showcasing BeHive products is also available.
