Gault&Millau's review 2026

This "Italian-style" trattoria, run by Florencia Montes and Lorenzo Ragni of the Onice restaurant, already well established in Nice's gastronomic scene, immediately sets out its ambitions in the heart of the port district: to offer total transalpine immersion. The address doesn't go unnoticed, with a façade inspired by South American "casitas" and an immaculate room with Cinecittà accents, where imposing chandeliers, Carrara marble and a vertical cellar make up a meticulous décor, perhaps too much so for the original spirit of a trattoria, which is supposed to remain a lively and popular place. From the moment you step in, the tone is set: precise, rhythmic, almost choreographed service. From the maître d'hôtel to the chefs de rang, the brigade is professional, attentive and ready to listen. At the counter, you'll discover a particularly ambitious wine list, largely focused on Italy, with a rich and coherent selection, backed up by sound advice. A special mention must go to the barman, whose skill and precision are an integral part of the experience. On paper, the cuisine is mouth-watering: great Italian classics, carefully sourced products, the promise of a journey between Piedmont, Tuscany and Campania. The vitello tonnato opens the ball with precision and finesse, embodying what one would expect from such a house, but the "al burro" pastas, like the osso buco, overcooked and therefore a little dry, disappoint. The tiramisu, supposed to end on a comforting note, doesn't reverse the trend, leaving a mixed overall impression, which time should improve.
