    This is a hidden gem tucked away in an alley in Old Town Nice. This area has many restaurants but this was truly the best pasta of my life. The truffle cream sauce was unforgettable. I sat outside with my husband and we shared a bottle on the perfect night. The service was wonderful as well.

    Delicious eggplant dish.  Perfectly cooked--this chef knows how to do vegetables

    I just got back from Nice, and this is the meal I keep thinking about. This restaurant is tucked away down an alley but shouldn't be overlooked. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. I had the set menu which was a bargain at right around 20 euro. It was 3 courses that included a dreamy eggplant casserole that was cooked perfectly--tangy tomato sauce, buttery cheese and thick slices of eggplant with just the right amount of bite. The main was a perfectly juicy chicken with a bright lemon and thyme sauce. Finally, desert was an apricot calfouti with lavender and a white chocolate sauce. It was the perfect end to the meal; not overly sweet and well balanced. My husband had a veal filet that was infused with the most intoxicating aroma of rosemary along with a side of zucchini gratin. A wonderful meal and a great bargain in Nice. Seek this place out--it's worth it!

    Pretty mediocre food for high price. Had eggplant daily special and 5 cheese gnocchi and both were bland.

    Awesome Italian restaurant tucked away in Nice. Do not go past the Truffle cream Ravioli. Amazing! Thanks for having us Carpe crew.

    Ordered two times food from them with Delivero service. Not good, not even eatable. The food was not fresh.

    “We shared a bottle of Chianti, the burrata for starter, and then the lobster pasta and black truffle ravioli.”

    We are out of town visitors and came in on a Thursday night. It was daily busily but we were seated…read morequickly at our choice of inside or outside. We sat outside on the covered and insulated patio. They also had heat lamps, so it felt ok in February outside. Our waitress was pleasant and efficient. My husband ordered the seafood spaghetti which had a light red sauce and seafood including mussels. He really enjoyed it. I had the lightly fried seafood plate. Check my picture for what's on it. The shrimp was slightly over done but still good. The fish and calamari were breaded and seasoned well. I've never had fried sardines (whole body included; I've only had canned sardines in the past) so I wasn't prepared to eat these. I tried it but it wasn't my preference. The salad was nice and fresh. We also enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine. La Voglia was quick and affordable but good.

    A large group of friends and I were traveling through Nice and had an amazing lunch here three…read moreyears ago, so of course it was our go to when we returned this summer. Located along the main street with shopping and restaurants galore, this Italian, street facing patio restaurant stands out. Two things to note before dining; 1. Everything on the menu is very large portions and 2. Each guest seated must order food. This is a busy area where weights can build up and seats are reserved for those people who will eat and drink. That being said, the food is absolutely outstanding and the two times I've been here they have been very accommodating with large groups without reservations. This is where I fell in love with French rosé and the price point on both food and drinks is a good value. Like I said, you will be taking food with you when you leave if you don't come hungry! I can't wait to return to Nice and when I do, this will definitely be on my list of stops

Highlights from our group of 5: Seating: Don't let the queue intimidate you--there was a long line, but it moved fast and we were seated pretty quickly. The Food: We ordered the fritto misto, truffle pizza, seafood pasta, Caesar salad, and sea bass. Most of the food was pretty flavorful and delicious! The Drinks: Excellent Hugo Spritzes and a great bottle of Sancerre. Service: The server was just okay, but overall the experience was solid. A must-visit spot in Nice for great Italian food at a reasonable price point!

    Do not come here. This was one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had, and the service is…read morethe reason. From the moment we sat down, it was clear nobody was paying attention to our table. It took a long time before anyone even came over to acknowledge us. When we finally ordered, the food took forever to arrive. Once it was dropped off, that was the last we saw of anyone. Nobody came back to ask how the meal was, nobody offered anything, nobody checked on us at all. At the end of the meal we wanted to order dessert. We sat there for about 20 minutes trying to get someone's attention, and not a single person came to our table. There was no way to order and no way to even ask a question. When we finally got someone, we were told the kitchen had already closed. Nobody warned us it was closing, nobody gave us a last chance to order, nobody said a word. We were simply ignored until it was too late. This is not a case of one slow moment on a busy night. It was a complete lack of attention from start to finish. An evening we had been looking forward to was ruined entirely by how we were treated. Whatever the food is like, it does not matter when the staff cannot be bothered to come to your table. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere that actually cares about its guests. Avoid La Favola.
