Uncle N.

Went here for dinner on a short stopover in Nice. It's touristy but the food and service was decent. The restaurant also shares the same owners of two other restaurants with similar menus across and down the street. The green salad is just that, simple lettuces and a lovely olive oil and vinaigrette dressing. Paired with a pesto gnocchi that was excellent. Portion size is large, especially for Europe. Solid restaurant, especially for American tastes, but also totally forgettable.

Mushroom pasta

Wonderful place, with a great vibe in the middle of old town Nice. Food was superb. Tables are a little too close to one another though. Overall, great place.

We just walked the castle hill steps and needed something to eat. This was off the path from the promenade (ocean walk way). We were seated right away and got outdoor seating in the shade. Huge plus for me! There are cocktail lounges nearby and lots of shopping to keep you busy before or after you eat. Their pizza comes in a half moon shape and are ginormous, for around 11 euros. I got a marinara pizza with no cheese. My husband got a pepperoni pizza. Water is 4 euros and Pepsi is 5. The server was fast to take our order and spoke English. The crust in the pizza is soft yet slightly crunchy. It's the perfect width. The flavor of both pizzas is fantastic. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Bolognese with gnocchi

Had the opportunity to eat dinner here while in Nice and I'm so glad I did! We were walking the street trying to find a fun spot for a meal and La Pizza Cresci was already filling tables about 6:15pm on a Monday night. We were able to snag a table for 2 and both opted for pasta. I loved the bolognese with gnocchi and my husband really enjoyed the carbonara with spaghetti. Both of our servings were so large and we each had food to take to go. We also started our meal with the mixed salad and that was really fresh and flavorful too. My only complaint is that we weren't offered water at all throughout the meal, even to pay for. Otherwise, this was a wonderful experience sitting outside and getting to people watch while enjoying delicious Italian food. Our waiter was awesome even with the restaurant being super busy.

Huge eggplant pizza - very delicious

We had a late lunch here, since lunch usually ends in France and Italy at 2 pm. The staff were very nice and we were able to have conversation with the staff in English, French and Italian. We ate outside under a red canopy with jazz swing music. It was fun to read the menu to see many legendary movie stars that visited the restaurant. I had a fantastic house white wine with the best mussels I have ever had. They were tender and awesome flavor of garlic and broth. Warning - the mussel pot is huge along with the delicious French fries. You could easily split the mussels and fries with two people. My daughter ordered a pizza with eggplant. Great pizza and also very large. We had a great time making conversation with the staff and enjoying our day in Nice. Without a doubt, I will be revisiting Cresci when in Nice.

Pizza Napoletana

Pizza in the U.S. can be good but there is nothing like getting it at the source. the French/Mediterranean pizza is served differently than that in Italy but the crust is uniform. a firm crust which is light above. Crunchy wiht just the right chew, it just can't be beat. La Pizza Cresci does a great job and with a glass of house red, it was a complete meal. Quick service. Make sure you watch how the locals fold their pizza before you cut it into wedges. The chili oil is an excellent topper.

Bordeaux wine, burrata and tomatoes, calamari, and mushroom pepperoni pizza!
Sanaz M.

My husband and I arrived late to Nice and were starving. We walked for a good 20+ minutes u til We found this gem. Wow it was so worth it! They have a lot of choices which all looked so good and was busy doe being midnight. We started with a bottle of Bordeaux wine ,calamari, burrata and tomatoes, and mushroom pizza with pepperoni. I loved how the plated and cut our pizza since these half moons are huge! Everything was so fresh and tasty! The service was phenomenal the staff and owner were all so pleasant and nice. Many customers were happy and it was in a vibrant neighborhood!

Outdoor line

We were walking by to find a place for dinner and saw the line for this place and couldn't resist!!! The line was pretty long, but we were seated within 20 minutes indoors near a window. We got both the Margherita pizza and onion pizza with egg. The onion pizza with the supplementary egg was our favorite pizza our entire trip!! The flavors all came together so well and the onion texture was amazing. The crust was super thin, but had a soft chewy taste! Honestly will be dreaming about this pizza!! Best food in Nice!! The vibe was awesome and there was a good crowd of people walking around.

Let's just say we were looking for a place to have some delicious pizza and pasta and we had our eyes on this place for a few days now. We finally came in and they were packed but they still did their best to accommodate us to sit outside as we requested. We went with a mix salad for starter and 4 cheese pizza and Sicilian pizza. They were all delicious and tasty. Service was also very good and fairly fast. We will definitely come back here again in a near future.

Frutti di mar was excellent!
Mike P.

Sitting outside people watching in Nice with perfect temperature, that alone is worth 3 stars. On top of that the food was freshly prepared and was tasty!!

Pepperoni Pizza. You try, you like!

The pizza here is quite bad. It's greasy, cheesy and flavorless. We had the margarite and aubergine ones.

Yall. I ate here 3 times in the 3 days I was in Nice . Yes it was that serious. It was DELICIOUS…read moreand I found the prices to be very reasonable. 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!

Carpe Diem was one of the highlights of our trip. We ordered the pizza, lobster pasta, mussels, and…read moreCaprese salad, and every dish was outstanding. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were authentic, and everything was prepared perfectly. What really made the experience special was the staff. They welcomed us like regulars and made us feel like locals from the moment we arrived. The combination of exceptional food, warm hospitality, and a relaxed atmosphere made for an unforgettable meal. If you're in the area, Carpe Diem is absolutely worth a visit.

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

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.

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.

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.
