Brunch at Nicolinos
Italian Brunch Is Now at Nicolino Ristorante — Every Saturday & Sunday
Some mornings call for more than a rushed cup of coffee. They call for a leisurely table, warm bread, and the kind of food that makes you slow down and actually enjoy the weekend. That's exactly what we had in mind when we decided to open our doors for brunch every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 1pm here at Nicolino Ristorante in Gilman Village, Issaquah.
If you've been searching for a new brunch near you — one that feels a little different, a little more special — we'd love to be your new weekend spot.
Why Italian Brunch Just Makes Sense
Brunch, at its heart, is about abundance and ease. Long tables. Good conversation. Food that arrives without any sense of hurry. And honestly? That's what Italian dining has always been about.

Italian food has a natural rhythm to it that fits a lazy weekend morning beautifully. The richness of eggs prepared the way la nonna intended. Fresh-baked focaccia still warm from the oven. A Bellini — because why not. These aren't just dishes; they're an invitation to settle in and stay awhile.
At Nicolino, we've built our brunch menu around that spirit. Every plate carries the same care and heart that our dinner guests have come to know, just wrapped in the lighter, celebratory feeling that Saturday morning deserves.

What to Expect on a Weekend Morning at Nicolino
We want your brunch to feel unhurried. You're not being rushed to the next seating — you're our guest, and we mean that.
Here's what a Saturday (or Sunday) morning looks like with us:
Arrive between 10am and 1pm — walk-ins welcome, reservations appreciated
Start with something to sip — we pour Italian-inspired brunch cocktails alongside coffee and fresh-squeezed juice
Take your time with the menu — each dish is made with the same intention as our evening plates
Linger as long as you like — this is the point
Whether you're celebrating something or simply celebrating the weekend, the table is yours.
A New Weekend Ritual in Issaquah
The Eastside has no shortage of brunch options — but true Italian brunch in a setting this warm and unhurried? That's something worth seeking out.
We opened Nicolino because we believe food brings people together, and we've spent years building a space in Issaquah where that actually happens. Adding Saturday and Sunday brunch is our way of saying: we want to be part of your whole weekend, not just your dinner plans.
So come as you are. Bring someone you love, or bring yourself and a good book. Either way, we'll have the coffee on.
