I tried almost everything on the menu: everything was served hot, extremely fresh, and full of authentic Italian flavor. Great balance of tastes and a wide drink selection. The homemade cocktail, available only here, was my favorite. They're open only for dinner, and although I waited about an hour, it was absolutely worth it. The place was very clean, and the staff were incredibly kind and professional. Highly recommended

Great meal in France!…read more This was a fantastic first dinner in Nice right off the main drag. We had reservation for 7pm and arrived a few minutes early. We waited a few minutes while they prepped our table and we were seated promptly. The vibe was cool, very French cafe feeling on the streets. The waiters were kind and attentive was you settled in. They patiently answered all our menu questions. We ordered the fois gras (because when in France), the duck and the octopus. All the food was excellent, the fois gras was perfect (although probably wouldn't order it again for ethical reasons). The octopus was absolutely perfect, very very easy to screw up, but they nailed it; every bit melting in our mouths. The duck breast was perfect, juicy and cooked to perfect. All the dishes were served with plenty of accompaniment. Great meal for a great French experience. Would highly recommend.

The highlight was the local figs, feta and heirloom tomato appetizer. All 3 were amazing, and he covered them in a delicious black-olive olive oil that really came through in a fantastic way. We also got a delicious pesto pasta with homemade pasta and (you guessed it) high end olive oil. This was quite good as well. The owner was extremely kind, the service was fast and pleasant, and he truly looked to enjoy sharing his craft. It's a small homey restaurant on a crowded part of old town, but don't let that scare you away, definitely worth stopping by when you're in Nice!

People made reservations days in advanced and several people came I throughout the night trying to see if they had availability. The place is very small. 6-7 tables inside and 2 outside. The kitchen is open so you are able to see the chef working their magic. The menu is limited, so don't expect a full set of options--believe it's changed quite often. The beef stew was incredible. We would have split one because it was a decent size, but you have to order an entree per person. This is a place to enjoy your meal, so prepare to have a relaxed meal and not be rushed out.

Located on a charming Street in Old Nice called Rue Droite, I felt like I had stepped back into the past when entering this restaurant.

I highly recommend this spot if you are fortunate enough to find yourself in Nice!

Six of us had lunch there - three of us had the famous Nicoise daube or beef stew - 2 with gnocchi and one with ravioli (I think the ravioli was better!). Two of us had the salmon on fennel and the last person had the beautiful lamb chops. We also shared a foie gras appetizer. Everything was delicious and exceptionally well prepared. A great place to go if you are wandering around Vieux Nice, but get a reservation. It fills up fast.

5 stars: my favorite place for lunch/brunch in the city…read more 【In Short】 This place is busy for a reason: they have the best pastries in the area, and they serve a small yet diverse lunch menu, but every single option is delicious. You might wait a bit but it is so worth it. 【Atmosphere and Service】 Nice is my hometown and everyone knows this spot for brunch and lunches. It is located in a lovely and very trendy area with a lot of restaurants around. Deli Bo is a pretty small place but you end up with a decent amount of privacy as the table are well separated and the staff is respecting the Covid social distancing rules. We got lucky enough to be served by the owner himself who told us that he used to be a pastry chef as well. Indeed, the dessert are to die for so keep some space for a small tasting. 【Club Sandwich】 This is a classic dish all over the world and I have seen quite a few of them, from disappointing, to over the top. This one is simply excellent, the portion is perfect, and it has all ingredients you could expect from this classic sandwich: some fresh chicken and bacon, eggs, crispy lettuce, tomatoes, and a generous amount of mayonnaise and mustard, all between perfectly toasted white bread. Simply delicious for a quick lunch. 【Sticky Ribs with Asian Slaw】 This was a surprise. In such a short menu, they manage to offer you some bagels, seared tuna, ceasar salad, truffle pasta, and also some sticky ribs. There is literally a choice for every desire. Those ribs were falling off the bone tender, the glaze was incredible and the asian slaw next to it did not need any seasoning from us. A great original dish. Special mention for the dessert, we did not have time for them this time, but I really recommend the lemon tart, it is to die for.

The restaurant has a humble exterior (largely blocked by gelato customers), but once you descend the stairs into the dining area you are in a sheek, romantic, cellar. Intimately small but comfortable. The walls are lined with stone and endless wine bottles. The starters were all quite good. We had the snails, squid, and cheese plait. As a bonus, my waitress recommended an excellent wine to pair with the squid. It was spot on. My group shared the beef and tartafelle (forgive my spelling). The beef was succulent, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I had no idea what to expect with the second dish but it was delicious and I would certainly order again. The prior night, I had the bakes camembert when eating solo. The dish is exactly as described. It's tasty, but I'd recommend it for a group since eating an entire block of melted cheese solo is challenging. Last but not least, the wait staff were wonderful! We really enjoyed chatting with our 2 waitresses, who went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and our election of drinks. As a tourist, you really hope to stumble on a gem like this were the locals charm you and really guide your dining experience. If ever back in Nice, i'll certainly go again!
