This is the pizzeria I rate all pizzerias against. Anywhere. And I mean, I live in Florida and…read morestill think about this place. I lived in Nantes for 6 years, and this was my "cantine". I ate here weekly for years, and that was 15 years ago. Then I met my husband, we would go together, it was our spot. Fast forward 12 years, I've been in the US for 10 years, and every time I have pizza, be it the one awesome Neapolitan pizzeria in Chicago, the promising wood fired pizza place in Cincinnati, the "authentic" spot in Jacksonville... They all kinda fall short. If you want to try this place, come right before they open. There will already be a line. Or you can make a reservation. We came yesterday while in France for a few weeks. Our pilgrimage to Pinnochio's was mandatory. Apart from the chairs and tables, everything was the same. Seems the owner and the waiter don't age either. Must be the magically delicious pizzas. I had my awesome calzone. My husband went for the Sicilienne. I would kill for a just-done-right egg yolk on my pizzas stateside. My 20 month old slurped up her spaghetti all a bolognese. She doesn't really eat normally. And she was loving it. My 6 year old loved his pizza. Now France isn't super baby and kid friendly when it comes to restaurants. This place happily got us a baby booster and they never made us feel like fools for bringing our kids (like most places do). I Pinnochio's. That is all.

We are visiting from the United States and were staying close to this restaurant. We were looking…read moreforward to eating here but unfortunately never got the chance. We walked into the half empty restaurant, with plenty of seating, as well as all the tables available outside. To be quite specific there were 3 tables taken. We came in an hour before close and asked for a table. We were told "reservation only," by the woman with the short gray hair and glasses behind the bar. She told us to go eat at La Loco instead because nothing was available for us. When we walked home and passed the restaurant, there were 2 tables occupied inside. We checked to see if it was reservation only, it is not. We were unable able to sit down and eat due to her not allowing us to sit so we did, in fact, go to La Loco up the street.

Une trouvaille This small Italian restaurant is on a street…read morewith only one other restaurant, close to the Gare. It has room for only about 30 diners. Service is friendly and personal. The carte has wonderful choices, and the limited selection of wines offers some which you will not find elsewhere, like the Cannonau (Sardinia). Everything I have ordered was wonderfully prepared. Cost: about 40 Euros (wine included). (English spoken, if you need it).
