I spent 11 days in Nice, and dined at La Cucina for 9 of those evenings. My only regret is wasting…read moretwo nights at nearby restaurants--nothing compared to this place. I tried almost everything on the menu: everything was served hot, extremely fresh, and full of authentic Italian flavor. Great balance of tastes and a wide drink selection. The homemade cocktail, available only here, was my favorite. They're open only for dinner, and although I waited about an hour, it was absolutely worth it. The place was very clean, and the staff were incredibly kind and professional. Highly recommended

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.

How good could a pizza place make a steak and fries, I thought. Yeah, so I just got two pizzas and they weren't bad and for under 10 euros I guess you can't complain. Funny thing I noticed is that every pizza place in Nice uses the same boxes. It's like the pizza box company has a monopoly on the pizza market here. The service was pretty good and I would give them an A for effort even though their English was a bit lacking. But hey, it's ok, it's France and not everyone can be nice.

I got the #17 (coppa, brie, roquette, courgettes grillées, tomates) and thought it was delicious! It reminded me of a quesadilla, but better in every way. The menu items averaged at about 5 euros, which seemed to be a great deal for the area. I would highly recommend. They have a small seating area in the back with bar stools or you can take your food to go, as they wrap it in paper and it's easy to hold in one hand. And leave room for dessert from the nearby french bakery ;)
