We go there 3 or 4 times a year and pack up our oil that we religiously bring back to London, then we feel we always have a bit of Nice in our kitchen The store is next to the Cours Saleya and the Opera of Nice, and also sells lots of other local products, typically olive oild based like tapenade or pesto and even soaps. The oilive oil is the perfect souvenir, both delicious and decorative.

The prices were reasonable. Staff was super nice & you can get a tasting of all the different olive oil flavors which was a lot of fun. Ended up picking up 4 small tins in various flavors - favorite being the black truffle. The only quibble was that the taste seemed much tastier in the shop - must be the ambience. Turns out my local Whole Foods carry a limited flavor of the brand. Of course, at a much higher price.

Well you know you have found the best place for fresh pasta in Nice when you have to line up 1 hour…read morein the street to buy some raviolis and gnocchi 2 days before Christmas and everyone in line think the wait is worth it. Yep the wait was worth it. Not a lot of choices: gnocchi, panisse, a few ravioli flavors, fettuccine... but all they do they do fresh and it's outstanding. My favorite is their lemon and ginger raviolis which luckily for me is not a crowd favorite so they seldomly run out of that one.

I was introduced to Specialites Nicoises during a walking food tour that I took to Nice (so glad I…read moredid it, otherwise would be really hard to narrow down where all the best local specialities are). It was fun to watch how socca is made and, as someone who has never tried it, I really liked it (not something I would crave immediately again but it's a good option for gluten free street food). Seems like there is always a line outside (which is an indicator for delicious and cheap food). It's more of a to go place so make sure it's packaged well as socca is pretty greasy and can create a huge mess. Overall, I would definitely go there again if I am in Nice.

This spot is in the old town part of…read moreNice, and it had a line of folks eagerly waiting their chance to order from among the various options, which included their traditional local classic socca, which is what our guide brought us there to try, and what appeared to be a selection of flatbreads, and thick crust pizzas. We got a chance to see how they make their socca, which is apparently just the same flour used for couscous, mixed with water, then placed an big, round, metal baking dish lined with olive oil, and then oven roasted for 3-5 minutes. Once done, it's just lightly seasoned with pepper - our guide said no other spice, otherwise it's not authentic in terms of local custom. I wasn't the biggest fan of the socca, though it wasn't bad, and their pizzas on offer all looked amazing - there's a reason they had the long line that they had. Next time in old town Nice, I'd give them a try!

They emailed back and told me about the grove and the mill they do tours of. I'm an idiot and tried walking over an hour to tour what I thought was the mill. It's closed on Saturdays. It's Saturday. So anyway I had to come back down the hill to this shop. I don't regret it. This shop was so cool. We tried flavors of the oil and seasoned olives. All pretty delicious. Bought a bunch to take home. Even threw in some as a wedding gift. It's so cool that it is harvested right here. I will have to come back in the correct season The shop is so cute inside. Lots of wooden cookware too that looked cool. Put a pin in this place because you gotta go.
