La Locanda is definitely worth the trip.

The menu is short and sweet with 4 starters and 4 mains you can combine. The wine list is very good. The food is one of the best experiences I have ever had in Nice; fresh, seasonal, creative, beautifully displayed and made with love. They have their own parking - don't worry about the obscure location. All in all - a gorgeous place with amazing food. Extra star for the fact that Portishead was playing when we arrived.

Grilled lobster, which I ordered, was completely burned on the outside, thus eatable, but bitter inside, ashes crunching on my teeth. Green salad-iceberg lettuce for 6 euros. I let the lady ( owner?) know about my disappointment and asked her to tell the chef. She never apologized or offer free coffee at least... So, we don't recommend. There are excellent places just next door- La Promenade and L'Horizon, which we frequent for many years. We are sure, neither Phillip nor Ludo would show such attitude to their loyal customers! Major disappointment !

We decided with the truffle pasta and the sea food pasta which both were AMAZING! For dessert we got tiramisu and it was delicious. High recommend this place. service 10/10 Food 10/10 Ambiance 10/10

We visited here twice during our most recent trip to Nice, and everything we tried was exceptional - most especially their pizzas! Tip: It's really impossible to go wrong with anything on the menu here, but I'd suggest that if you visit with a party of two or more, you make a point to share an order of bruschetta, one or two of their pizzas, and an order of tiramisu for dessert.

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.

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.

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
