    Seafood pasta
    Gerald N.

    4.5 stars but will bump it up for the reasons below. Came late at night about 8pm and there was a small wait about 10 minutes. They almost always have a line when we pass by. They are busy here but service does move fast and work hard. Their menu is extensive and reminded me of a cheesecake factory vibe with their seating, menu options and size of the dishes! Definitely great value for what you pay. 1. Pizza - Good, not too soggy, flavorful 2. Seafood pasta - Loaded with ingredients and a tasty sauce to it. Lots of pasta. Overall, I would come here at least once or if you have a big appetite in the area.

    Patrick, our waiter, is the best. He was so respectful, funny, and helped us save a ton of money. Don't let the prices fool you-you'll get a lot of food for your pay! Big plates. The salads are huge. So glad we didn't get two pastas on top, we would've had so many leftover. We got the bufala and pistachio pizza. The bufala was pretty underwhelming and hardly had any sauce on it. The pistachio was good. Overall pizzas were pretty average. The Caesar salads are terrific. So much food. Great sauce. Tasty cheese. Thanks Patrick!! We will be back for pastas.

    A wonderful rose from Prosvence!

    We arrived at a perfect time before the line started! The young man who served us was the perfect employee! He helped guide use through the menu and we had the lasagna and seafood spaghetti! We were served very large portions with everything you could ask for. The bread was fresh and the olive bread was our favourite. The wine was a perfect addition to our meal. The service was terrific, the food was wonderful and our experience was perfect!

    Plat du jour

    Yep- definitely recommend La Voglia. We walked past this restaurant several times though our stay in Nice, and there's always a line. On our last day, we were looking for a lunch place, and saw no lines with a couple of tables open in the outdoor dining area! We saw this as a sign to check it out... My spouse ordered the plat du jour, which was a trio of kabobs while I got the fritto misto. This was one of the best fritto mistos I've had--I really liked the assortment of fishes included. Voglia is definitely a must try!

    We had dinner at La Voglia in Nice one evening back in August. Honestly, it didn't seem like there was any really many amazing options for restaurants in Nice, most places seem to just cater to tourists, which I guess makes sense in a tourist trap-type town. La Voglia had a pretty long line in front, lots of tables outside and a pretty decent sized indoor section as well. I would say we waited for about half an hour; my wife and I were willing to take the first available table, most people wanted to sit outside, so we were able to get in a little faster. The food was good not great, not really memorably good or bad. But what I do remember was the size of the dishes, they were massive, and the prices were pretty cheap considering the portion size. Bottom line, I left happy overall, and in a town with not really awesome choices, I would go back if I am ever back in Nice.

    We didn't make reservations for this restaurant, however we waited in line for a bit and it was well worth it. The food was great, service was great, and the vibe of sitting outside and have a nice dinner was just what was needed.

    We ate at La Voglia for lunch on Oct 1, 2019. The food was great and our service was prompt and courteous. We started with the burrata salad and had pasta for our entrée. If you are not big eater I'd recommend sharing a plate. Unfortunately I couldn't take my leftover with me since we didn't have refrigerator in our hotel. Too bad because the gnocchi I had was simple and delicious! Definitely get the burrata salad it was outstanding. Everything was fresh and was a plated with culinary artistry. The outside dining area where we ate provides a scenic view of Old Nice and Cours Saleya. As you dine you can enjoy watching the hustle and bustle of all the tourist making their way in and out of Old Nice.

    Wonderful service, food, and atmosphere! I had the Salmon and Tuna and my partner had the black truffle risotto. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Nice. The food is reasonably priced too. Four stars because we requested to share entree but we were discouraged by staff. Portions are huge.

    Great Italian food!! We all really enjoyed the food and the experience. Delicious pasta seafood dishes.

    veggie pizza
    Jessica H.

    La Voglia was our first meal in Nice. It was a delightful dinner for us Americans. The portions are huge, so sharing is recommended. We had a vegetarian pizza, sausage pizza, and sliced steak. All were great. One thing we really enjoyed was not getting gorged for ordering water with our dinner. They bring a pitcher of water (sans gas) to the table and don't charge for it. The wine was excellent that we had, and we ordered one of the cheapest bottles. It is rather touristy, and there are definitely more authentic places in Nice to eat. But La Voglia takes credit card and doesn't require a reservation (and the food is good!).

    This place was highly recommended on various travel sites so we decided to try it out for lunch one rainy afternoon. We arrived a few minutes before they opened for lunch and were told to wait outside. Once they opened a line quickly formed. We were one of the first ones to be seated inside. This is a pretty big restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Modern decor. We ordered: Spaghetti fruits mer 18.50 euros: hubby and daughter loved the fresh seafood. Big portion of pasta. La Caprese pizza 13 euros: good thin crust pizza. Not as good as the stuff you find in Naples but it did hit the spot. Couldn't finish it so they provided some foil for us to wrap it up. Cafe 2.50 euros: good Service was good and food was served at a reasonable pace. Believe in the hype and check this place out if you are in the neighborhood.

    Food was not great and waiter took our card to charge (away from table) and our credit card was hacked next day. Be wary

    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.
