    I came here for dinner with a reasonably large group (8) of people and had a mixed experience. On one hand, the food was very good (although they did not have the seafood pasta). I, being lactose intolerant, had to resort to getting a pasta that traditionally had cheese in it but without the cheese. The food was delicious still. I'm not sure if I came on an off day, but my service experience wasn't as good. My server (who I think may be the owner) was not too friendly and I felt a little bit rushed. It may just have been a small sample size, but I do wish that I had been treated a little better.

    The food came out extremely fast. Almost shockingly fast. It's a great little spot for a "no frills" kind of dinner. Really great pasta and no fuss atmosphere. Only tips would be to make sure you ask if there are specials. Our waiter did not offer the specials to us and we only learned of them when another guest arrived. They are cash only as well.

    Incredible pasta. Simple menu done right. This is a don't miss in Nice. In a cute alleyway and no wait. Staff were very friendly.

    Bolognese & Pesto

    This was the best pasta I've ever had! They were so kind when we came in and ordered 6 pastas to go! You must stop here in Nice!!!

    Carbonara w/ truffles

    We decided to have dinner here. My carbonara pasta w/ truffles was amazing. My wife had pasta pesto was equally tasty. Ambiance was unique and service was very family like and warmth. Thank you for an excellent experience.

    Pesto di papa Lino

    Very fresh, simple and flavorful pasta. We ordered the pesto di papa Lino (fresh basil and Parmesan) and the funghi (mushroom, cheese, and parmesan). Highly recommend!

    Really good bolognese. Pasta is homemade. Very good prices. Good service with a staff can speak in English if needed.

    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.

    Came here for dinner while in Nice. Long line and heard it was good even though 3.7 stars. Seated…read moreoutside and ended up meeting another couple from England. We ordered the mixed vegetables platter, bread and a side salad to start as well as drinks. Bread was good as was the mixed vegetables. We then ordered seafood pasta which came with various seafood. Very tasty. Our new friends ordered lasagna, rotini with meat sauce and a salad pizza. They said it was great. Service a bit slow but you in France! Nice outdoor ambiance. Better that the ratings.

    Such a miss in an area with a ton of great restaurants. I'm not sure what people love about this…read moreplace. There is no need to stand on line waiting for subpar food. The only decent dish we had was the pizza, and it wasn't even great. There was a string baked into our bread as well. Service did not match any of the other restaurants around and was not friendly. Don't waste your time with this place. It's just filled with American tourists.

    Came here for dinner while visiting Nice. First off - this is not really an ~authentic~ Italian…read morerestaurant. The restaurant opens at 7pm for dinner and there was a line formed when we arrived around 7:20, very interesting experience for Europe. Living in the US, this restaurant reminds me of a lot of new restaurant group restaurants that just kind of have a system in place. Again, not a bad thing, but not your place if you are looking for something that feels like classic Italy. The portions here are huge, which they are known for. Note that the menu states each person must order an entree, which seems to discourage sharing (since they literally bring you an entire pan). I got the seafood pasta with shrimp and clams in a fresh tomato sauce and my friend got the lasagna. Both were really good dishes and huge portions. We both had a full meal of leftovers for the next day. Not anything I can't get at a good Italian restaurant in the US, but good food. The espresso martini was a good one though!! I think my 3 stars are more about the overall experience here. The food I would give a 4.
