What an experience!! Most fun meal I've had in a month in Europe…read more Fabio and Sabina have a party going in a small space packed with fresh pasta, black truffles (she's happy to show you), magical cheese and sauce, and fresh bread and flatbread, plus a healthy dose of passion for food and life. My man had the lasagna, which was probably the best I've ever tasted - magical sauce nicely balanced with just enough cheese and plenty of meat to be flavorful, creamy, and hearty but not overwhelming. My piadine with truffle and sausage was amazing and generous: I'm looking forward to enjoying the second half for lunch. We complemented it with perfectly drinkable red table wine and finished with the best tiramisu I've had in my life (and I'm almost 50), made in house by Fabio - just enough sugar, and a little tango was in a lower layer of mascarpone with fluffier cream layer on top of the espresso-soaked ladyfingers. Nociola and Springsteen went with the tiramisu; Fabio likes his rock, and by the end of the evening we were all jamming out to Stairway to Heaven. I like to cook and enjoyed watching this duo work their magic. Yes, yes, yes! Seating is limited and they have plenty of fans, for good reason!

Google search says it is a small restaurant, so you need a reservation. YES, the restaurant itself is very small (beautiful) but they have a HUGE beautiful seating area outside where many tables are waiting for you. Amazing that the owner(male) and a nice female waiter manage many tables pretty well in a good timing manner. I went to their bathroom which was very pretty and showed the restaurant is high end. (You can see that from their bathroom! ) I saw a small kitchen two chefs are working so hard. Again- their service is timely and amazing. Foods are beautiful and tasty. Highly recommended. Better to book a table from google search.

I found the South of France to be a very special place, from Nice, down to Antibes, and beyond. La Tour Antique was just one of the reasons this was such a memorable visit.

Came here upon the recommendation from a friend and had a most enjoyable meal. I came here during the Festival and though I would have preferred to dine indoors the restaurant created a special canopy outdoors with chandeliers and soft music. Our group started off with a delicious butter lettuce salad followed by the main course (2 of us ordered the veal Milanese, the other ordered a veal chop), accompanied with spaghetti pomodoro and a bottle of Tomassi Amarone. Everything was outstanding. For dessert we ordered a chocolate mousse topped with chopped hazelnut. The owner, Michelangelo, stopped by the table to greet us and in return my friend gifted him a $140 Cohiba cigar. The same friend enjoyed his meal so much that he came back again the following evening. For what we ate along with the caliber of food the price was reasonable. Turns out the owner's son has a Mamo in Brickell (Miami) that I am a huge fan of as well.

It was one of those places whose reputation pushes prices by at least double for everything but in truth it doesn't merit it. Service was great but that's because there were so many workers.

OMG you have to try - possibly some of the best Italian food we have had. The waiters made the day. They joked with us, talked about life in the US and France and then made us eat all our food - all of it. They kept bringing bread till the sauce was gone and water without asking. When my wife couldn't finish her dish they swapped plates so I had to - hilarious. They only have like 14 tables so you need a reservation but it was so fun and tasty!
