    Pizza "Les Amoureux"
    Cait T.

    Let me tell you about the best meal you'll have in Nice: a Pizza Les Amoureux--the restaurant's upgraded take on a margherita pizza made with mozzarella di bufala, a classic tomato sauce and 24-hour-rested neopolitan-style dough--served alongside a pichet of perfectly paired house wine. Les Amoureux is far and beyond the best pizza in Nice. In fact, it is highly likely the best pizza in France. Ivan and Monica are welcoming hosts who have created a vibrant restaurant that has become a neighborhood staple. There are frequently lines out the door, but don't let that scare you away! It is well worth the wait. My advice: if you are in a hurry, arrive about fifteen minutes before opening to ensure you're in the first seating. Genuinely, this is the kind of pizza you should travel to try (and you should take me seriously when I say this as I have actually flown to Nice from California to have another Les Amoureux Pizza--and let me tell you, the flight was worth it).

    Really great pizza! We had a traditional margarita pizza and the extra special pistachio. I would absolutely go here again.

    Hidden gem in Nice! Southern France isn't known for pizza so I was curious how good this place would be. It's a few minutes away from Old Town and there isn't much to do around the area. The place is really small and has around 10 or so tables. They don't take reservations so get there early if possible. When I got there, the place was full and we were put on the waitlist. 5 tables were ahead of us and it took about 30 minutes to be seated. They have a large selection of pizzas so there's something for everyone. I ordered their specialty "Les Amoureux Margherita" and my sister ordered a pizza with sausage and broccolini (I forget the name of it). If you're a female, they make the pizza in a heart shape which I loved! Both of our pizzas were delicious. Their pizzas are neapolitan style so the crust is very doughy and puffs up around the sides whereas the base of the pizza is thin. This is definitely a MUST in Nice if you love pizza. I will say that's it not the best pizza I tried but it's probably the best pizza you'll find in Nice. They also serve wine and beer. The wine comes in either a glass, 1/4 pitcher, 1/2 pitcher or bottle. I ordered a 1/4 pitcher of their local white wine and it was pretty good. I like how they have different sizes you can order. Service is slow so don't expect to be in and out. Overall, I would definitely recommend this especially if you want a heart shaped pizza.

    It says a lot when you have to book at least a day in advance to get a table at Les Amoureux! I first visited Les Amoureux with my girlfriend three years ago when it was still behind the church at the port. A friend of mine had repeatedly suggested to try it out. Finally we did... and we have been going ever since :) The difference between this restaurant and many others in general is that the owner, Ivan, is totally passionate with his food. He will mesmerize you with how simple it is to make such tasty pizzas. And it is! All down to the quality and freshness of ALL the ingredients, from the base to the toppings! Don't hesitate, book and eat :)

    The owner was incredibly accommodating; considering we had 11 people show up to his establishment without a reservation (not recommended). Once seated we indulged on some of the best mozzarella appetizers and pizza that I've ever had. I ordered the salsiccia e friarielli pizza. Pictures do not do this pizza justice. In short time it became abundantly clear the inclusion of this restaurant on the Best of Nice blog was no mistake. After dinner the owner took the time to learn that we were traveling from France to Italy. He wrote down the name of a sushi place he owns as well as several other culinary destinations. I will be returning to Les Amoureux each and every time I travel to Nice. 5 star pizza. 5 star experience.

    Closest is half roquefort (Bleu cheese) and other half is sicilia (anchovies). Wife got the prosciutto which is a dear favorite of mine.

    Fantastic food and service. We were lucky they could squeeze us in. You are better to book, even off season.

    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.
