We went to Villa D'este as we were looking for a good pizza in Nice. The restaurant was of reasonable size with sitting outside and inside. We ordered salads for a starter followed by pasta's and pizza's. The first thing that took us was the size of the portions - they were very big. The food looked really nice and... More

Most notable thing about this restaurant? The service is lightning fast. To Americans visiting France where every waiter makes you feel like you're asking a personal favor when asking for the check, this was a refreshing surprise. The waiter got our order, gave us bread, drinks, food...our check...out the door off to enjoy the beautiful city. The food itself was... More

The restaurant was recommended to us by our motel. When they say two people can share that dish, they actually mean it. The lasagne could have fed 4 people. The food was amazing, we can't wait to go back. The staff were helpful and friendly. Definately a place to go when you are in Nice

We eat here for 3 years and Villa gets better and better. Huge plates (sometimes one plate is enough for 2 person), fresh taste. Not "haute cuisine", but garanteed quality and service.

I went to this restaurant twice in 3 days. Main reason because the first time food was absolutely amazing - I had antipasti followed by gnocchi and it was magnificent. Second time, antipasti was completely different: from the ingredients to the way they were served. It seemed the waiter had just thrown the food together on the tray - sardines... More

The pizza was awesome, the pasta had so much flavor and was cooked perfectly. The dishes on the tables around us looked good too.

We ate here three times in our six night trip to Nice. Their pizza is my favorite anywhere. Also loved the lasagna, salads, antipasto. The waiters all seem to speak English, the prices are reasonable and the portions are huge. Same owners/menu as La Voglia in the old town; this place was closer to our hotel so we just ate... More

We chose here for lunch as it seemed to be full. Saturday lunchtime - very good service and good value dishes. Had a tuna salad - would definitely order that again. Handy location if shopping in the centre.

This is my favorite restaurant in Nice. I love pizza. I make my own pizza at home, probably 5 times a week. The pizza here is my favorite. We also love their focacia with salad, particularly the sun dried tomatoes. Their lasagna is a close third. They are friendly to English speakers, and they are the only restaurant that I... More

Our hotel recommended this place and we enjoyed it. It was our first night and we were tired with jet lag, but we really enjoyed our dinner. Both of us had pizzas and we shared a salad and a bottle of wine. Service was excellent and the food was good. Desserts were HUGE. We returned to Nice at the end... More
