Friendly staff welcomed us and we had a nice table on the street in charming downtown Nice. Being a…read moreFriday evening the atmosphere was busy without being hurried and we could enjoy the music from nearby restaurants and the bustle of people making their way to dinner or a night out. Food was fresh, flavourful, and served in very generous portions. The service was fast, attentive, and very clever at convincing us to get desserts (without being pushy). We all felt satisfied and very happy with our meals. Highly recommend any of the pasta dishes, we had four different pastas and all were good. The calzone was gigantic and very generously stuffed with toppings and cheese.

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

I got the #17 (coppa, brie, roquette, courgettes grillées, tomates) and thought it was delicious! It reminded me of a quesadilla, but better in every way. The menu items averaged at about 5 euros, which seemed to be a great deal for the area. I would highly recommend. They have a small seating area in the back with bar stools or you can take your food to go, as they wrap it in paper and it's easy to hold in one hand. And leave room for dessert from the nearby french bakery ;)

My sister and I sit down and order water. This young waitress then takes my food order (I ordered some pasta). My sister had already eaten, so she didn't get anything.... Ohhhh the owner didn't like that. She came up the stairs in a huff and just starts berating us like we're 5. "It's not fair to our chef" "you're taking up a two seater when you're only getting one meal" and the real kicker "Next time" NEXT TIME. I would genuinely rather starve :) But wait! It gets better! We sit there for over 30 minutes watching everyone around us get their food. Eventually the young waitress comes back and I ask to cancel my food and pay for the water. I see her go tell the owner and the owner proceeds to ignore us completely. So we paid for the water and left. That woman was despicable. I know you'll probably read this too and have some excuse (I read the other reviews) but I'll just leave it with no one, not even my worst enemy, should ever endure the misery of eating at this restaurant.
