We've grown and grown and exploded to this point where you're reading this right now and probably salivating. Our secret? It's not one, admittedly. The best ingredients is a big part. An unrelenting love of food is the other big part. Between those two, we think we pretty much have our burger bases covered. Turns out we also like people, though. We're not making these delicious, one-of-a-kind creations to not share them with our human species brethren. We hope to share them with you, in fact. And soon. So head on in to the nearest (heck, it could even be the furthest) Uncle Nick's location and feast your eyes on the greatest fast food ever made. You won't be sorry you did.

My Cafe Amore

My Cafe Amore

My Cafe Amore

Today: Closed

Do you remember your first sip of coffee? Chances are you either had a great experience, or you pursed your lips and wondered ‘how can adults drink this?’ When I was in college I would carry my own coffee creamer around in my backpack. I carried it around so that I could tolerate the taste of university java. I would pour some into my cup, and then other’s cups as well. I did not know it at the time, but I was building community. A space where conversations took place, stories shared, testimony’s heard. All centered around, coffee. Cafè Amorè was created between my shifts as a police officer. My appreciation for coffee has grown exponentially through the police academy, working nights, and mommying to my joy filled little human I get to call, my son. Like Jesus, coffee has provided me a safe place to go when I need a break, or a boost of energy to drive my purpose.  Cafè Amorè will be collaborating with local non-profit agencies to provide survivors of trauma, domestic violence, and substance abuse a chance to work voluntarily to gain work experience. As a police officer, I have had many interactions with survivors of such. It would be ignorant of myself to believe the interactions alone, would be enough to motivate survivors to rebuild their lives with positive relationships, and begin anew. It simply does not work that way. It takes time and consistency, as many survivors of trauma or addiction relapse to their previous lifestyles within the first year. Cafè Amorè is more than a place of employment that serves phenomenal lattès. It is a place where everyone has a seat at the table.That’s the purpose of Cafè Amorè. A safe haven where community is built on principles of: self-love, healing, authenticity, and rebuilding. So many of us have survived strongholds on our lives that have left us feeling defeated, unloved, or invaluable. The reality is, you, are welcome at Cafè Amorè. Together we will grow sipping one lattè at a time.

Our restaurant has been in business since 1963. Vito has owned this restaurant ever since. He, his wife Janette, and two sons, Vito Jr, and Mike, run the restaurant on a daily basis. We our best known for our pizzas and our homemade sausage that Vito makes. Our pizzas are made as a relatively thin crust. Besides our pizzas, everything else on our menu is also tasty. We use fresh ingredients in all of our dishes. We take reservations but walk-ins are welcome. If anything is going on downtown during the weekend, reservations are highly recommended.

The Shortline Sushi Bar

Today: 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Set right along the path of the old Rockford & Interurban Railway, The Shortline is an ode to an era long gone. The train still rumbles by a mere block away, but the walls tell a new story. Purchased as an office building and reimagined in the summer of 2017, The Shortline is now a place to gather and enjoy. Creativity exudes from the walls of The Shortline. The sixteen foot bar was repurposed from the desk left in the building and the exterior shiplap, reused as interior finishing. The beauty and thoughtfulness of Japanese cuisine seemed like the perfect match for The Shortline. You will find innovative sushi rolls and handcrafted rice dishes. We are thrilled to bring The Shortline Sushi Bar to downtown Belvidere, Illinois. Welcome!
