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.

For example, me and my homegirl each got our own personal pizza (it was big), and a comically massive bucket of mussels and it was like $30 each. My pizza had burrata and tomatoes and a fresh pesto and the tomato sauce was sooo fresh. Alyssa had a truffle pizza which she really enjoyed. Night 2 we got pasta and I tore the carbonara up! Before my flight home and I had to run it back again for another pizza. The owner was like wtf you're back? Gave me a kiss and some limoncello and I was like yeah yeah yeah I'll see you next time I'm here haha. This place is in an alleyway and is a lot more discrete than some of the other spots but those are the ones with the best food and prices!

If you're in the area, Carpe Diem is absolutely worth a visit.

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

Not too convinced we kept walking and then quickly we went back to ask for a table... best decision ! My husband got a Negroni and I got an espresso martini (which I was surprised by it!) We decided with the truffle pasta and the sea food pasta which both were AMAZING! For dessert we got tiramisu and it was delicious. High recommend this place. service 10/10 Food 10/10 Ambiance 10/10

My wife's pasta was also delicious as was the board of meat and cheeses. Very quaint restaurant on a quiet street off the main street in Cannes. This made for a nice quiet- cozy dinner with my wife.

Walking bybI saw beautiful pizzas and clam and linguini pasta. I already knew what I wanted. We were warmly greeted and seated within a reasonable amount of time upstairs. Our server brought us a bottle of sparkling water and I ordered as expected, a cheese pizza and linguini and classic. The pizza came first and it was wonderful. The crust was just the right thickness and the combination of their house sauce and cheese was very tasty. It's almost like you can taste just how close you are to Italy. The linguini and clams was a huge portion and expertly prepared and presented. The taste was just as I hoped it would be. Absolutely fabulous! Everything was perfect, pasta, sauce, and clams. Wouldnt add a thing. If you don't stop here and keep walking, you missed something special.
