Friendly staff welcomed us and we had a nice table on the street in charming downtown Nice. Being a…read moreFriday evening the atmosphere was busy without being hurried and we could enjoy the music from nearby restaurants and the bustle of people making their way to dinner or a night out. Food was fresh, flavourful, and served in very generous portions. The service was fast, attentive, and very clever at convincing us to get desserts (without being pushy). We all felt satisfied and very happy with our meals. Highly recommend any of the pasta dishes, we had four different pastas and all were good. The calzone was gigantic and very generously stuffed with toppings and cheese.

Everything is made fresh daily; the pasta dishes are all wonderful and the portion sizes are HUGE! Tip: Over and above the fabulous pasta, we tried several fish dishes, and they were all excellent and fresh :-) Yes, the food here is phenomenal, but I suggest you make an effort to save room for dessert; their Tiramisu is out-of-this-World good - it's one of the best I've had in recent memory :-)

Meanwhile, other tables that were seated after us, all white people, got their food promptly and were already eating. I don't say this lightly, but the pattern was hard to ignore. If you're a minority, be aware, the service did not feel equal, and we were left waiting far longer than guests who arrived after us and decided to leave at that point. This kind of treatment is unacceptable. We won't be back.

It is a small and cozy place and our table was dead centre. We had the grilled sardines, that were delicious and the ratatouille that was nicely presented. The stuffed cabbage was perfectly cooked and the daube was fork tender. The rougets were fresh. The deserts were crowned by the tarte au citron ; The crème brûlée was not too sweet and finished a great meal. I highly recommend this restaurant.
