Chef came to dining room to check on each diner! Definitely ranks as one of the best from our ~six weeks in Nice!

We had a reservation for this restaurant on our very first night in Nice and it was extremely…read moredisappointing. First, let me just say that the food was quite good - that was not the issue. The service, on the other hand, was deplorable. Our server made it very clear early on that although he spoke perfect English, he did not care for Americans. So, he went out of his way to give us the bare minimum of service. He did not clear any empty cans or glasses from our table over the entire two hours we were there, he did not attempt to be friendly, he did not check to see if we needed anything. He served me a room temperature bottle of beer, and when I mentioned it to another person they brought me an ice cold bottle...so it's not that they weren't available. We also arrived when the restaurant was essentially empty, and they went out of their way to seat us at the worst table available (sloped down the street so the table was tilted). Meanwhile, our same server was downright jovial with anyone that was fluent in French. Mercifully, we have had a much better experience at every single other place we have visited in our week here in Nice. La Ptite Cocotte seems to be the exception rather than the rule. That being said, we can absolutely NOT recommend this restaurant if you want to be treated like a guest rather than simply tolerated.

Stopped here for dinner thanks to other yelp reviews…read more We loved it! Adorable atmosphere inside and out, excellent service, and then the food...all of it so fresh and delicious. We did the prie fix menu of that week and the kids are still talking about their meal. Some of the dishes: gazpacho, mini "burger" of delicious cheese sans meat, pork chop over silky mashed potato, squid ink risotto, lemon ricotta ravioli, pannacotta, cheese board. We talked about how good everything was throughout the entire meal. I think we were lucky to get a table for our party of five because when we tried to return the following evening with the rest of our group (10 total) they could not accommodate us. My mom was disappointed she couldn't eat the pannacotta again. So maybe plan ahead for a big group- it's petite inside and has a little patio in front outside. We hope to eat here again next time we're in Nice!

It's definitely a more popular restaurant but it does cater to tourists more often. We ordered a fried calamari, white wine of the day (Ile de Beauté), a fruits de mer spaghetti, and a bouilloire of mussels. The mussel portions were huge and it came with fries that were very lightly seasoned. The spaghetti was soaked from the seafood, and it was cooked perfectly al dente and the seafood was well seasoned. The shrimp was slightly overcooked but overall, still a good dish. Only disappointment was the calamari. The batter wasn't seasoned and it wasn't coated on the squid well. Overall though, the prices are fair and the service is good, so I'd recommend newcomers to Nice should come here. It's just a bit "normal" where nothing is uniquely Niçoise but you can still find a good dish.

The space is super small, almost snuggling with the people you share the table with small. And on a very hot and muggy middle of the day heat I felt like I was roasting in the oven. That was strike one. Strike two... the food I'm sad to say, it really wasn't anything special. We ordered the fried zucchini flowers to share, it wasn't greasy at all, delicate but in need of a fair amount of salt sprinkling. For main courses I had the basil pesto pasta which smelled divine but again, lacking in seasoning. Hubs got the beef stew which also nothing that I can't make at home on a crockpot. The dishes really wasn't anything extra ordinary like I was expecting the it to be. Staff were pleasant and lovely. It was fun to watch everyone work around each other in what maybe a 10 sqft space of a kitchen.

The zucchini flowers were unique in that they weren't fried but still very good with great texture. The spinach risotto was probably the favorite dish and very flavorful. The truffle penne was the next favorite as each bite had lots of truffle flavor. Desserts were both great and very filling. All in all, it was a great meal with very attentive service. Being seated by the chef and watching him work was mesmerizing. Highly recommend trying out if in Nice.
