Gault&Millau's review 2026

Armand Crespo has moved (a little) out of Vieux-Nice, Type 55, Le Bar des Oiseaux, Le Bistrot d'Antoine... to set up a "fuego de Dios" at the port, in the beautiful rue Ségurane, facing the hill of the Château, where the tandem of Carlos Gomez and Daniele Lamboglia cooks up a storm, recipes where Colombia and Italy harmonize to give the best. Colita is the hacienda of Nice with its refined decor, where the earth that patinates the walls and shapes the Etruscan jars in the open kitchen bar, echoes the embers that give life to the colorful, flavorful dishes: braised artichokes with Colonnata bacon, oysters with flambadou, that utensil straight out of the Middle Ages, pluma of pig and its pan-fried squid with reduced juice, grilled turbot... And then, as if by opposition, chefs also offer raw fish in the form of ceviches or tartars that follow the currents and seasons. Last but not least, Italy makes its presence felt with this minute tiramisu with coffee gel. The cellar is natural and travels all over France and Italy to discover new wines, and the service, as warm as the place, lights up the table. The three-course lunch menu at €23 is not to be missed.
