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.

For example, me and my homegirl each got our own personal pizza (it was big), and a comically massive bucket of mussels and it was like $30 each. My pizza had burrata and tomatoes and a fresh pesto and the tomato sauce was sooo fresh. Alyssa had a truffle pizza which she really enjoyed. Night 2 we got pasta and I tore the carbonara up! Before my flight home and I had to run it back again for another pizza. The owner was like wtf you're back? Gave me a kiss and some limoncello and I was like yeah yeah yeah I'll see you next time I'm here haha. This place is in an alleyway and is a lot more discrete than some of the other spots but those are the ones with the best food and prices!

If you're in the area, Carpe Diem is absolutely worth a visit.

The food arrives incredibly fast and the service was very attentive (for Europe standards). The pizza was very traditional Italian pizza. It comes out not cut and you need to use a fork and knife to eat it. It's pretty messy and overflowing with toppings.

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.

Located along the main street with shopping and restaurants galore, this Italian, street facing patio restaurant stands out. Two things to note before dining; 1. Everything on the menu is very large portions and 2. Each guest seated must order food. This is a busy area where weights can build up and seats are reserved for those people who will eat and drink. That being said, the food is absolutely outstanding and the two times I've been here they have been very accommodating with large groups without reservations. This is where I fell in love with French rosé and the price point on both food and drinks is a good value. Like I said, you will be taking food with you when you leave if you don't come hungry! I can't wait to return to Nice and when I do, this will definitely be on my list of stops

I got the #17 (coppa, brie, roquette, courgettes grillées, tomates) and thought it was delicious! It reminded me of a quesadilla, but better in every way. The menu items averaged at about 5 euros, which seemed to be a great deal for the area. I would highly recommend. They have a small seating area in the back with bar stools or you can take your food to go, as they wrap it in paper and it's easy to hold in one hand. And leave room for dessert from the nearby french bakery ;)

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.
