While I agree with Karl, I think that it also depends on where you're Speaking English.. In the UK, the Terms ‘NICE’ and ‘LOVELY’ are often used to describe pleasant tasting food.. “A Lovely cafe with nice tea and cake” In America, it’s more likely to be used to connote an elegant, or expensive food.. or in talking about a specific Flavor: “That Spiciness is really nice, it adds a little kick.."

As Karl has pointed out, it's possible to use "nice". But in my opinion, "good" is better and clearer when talking about food. That was a nice meal. (Kind of like saying 'I had a nice time at the meal'. It might have been the food, but could also have been the company, the conversation etc.) That meal was good. (The food at the meal tasted good.)

Yes, you can use the word "nice". "This is a nice wine." "This salad is so nice, they added fresh spinach and tiny little orange slices." "That steak is cooked very nicely." "Bread is nice with everything." However, I may hesitate to use "nice" to describe the taste. "How does it taste? It tastes good." <-you are clearly saying that you like it. "How does it taste? It tastes nice." <-depending on your tone, this could mean that you think it's ok but that you don't really like it. But I wouldn't worry about this distinction too much. As you know from your own language, your tone of voice can change the meaning of many words. It's just that (I think) the word "nice" is more easily manipulated then the word "good".
