The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Gard

Upon opening in 1964, this restaurant is called Le Carlino, the name of its first owner. Since then, his successors have kept the name and the formula: a service of pizza and Italian cuisine. In a large rectangular room, with exposed stones at the walls, bright green woodwork and white beams, tables are adjustable, allowing group meals or intimes. In the other adjoining room, the pizzaïolo is active in the face of its wood oven, the essential accessory for successful pizzas. After enjoying regional salads, plats ravioli dishes, beef lasagna, gnocchis or soup with tomato sauce, basil, you can choose a pizza directly. For example, Vesuvio (mozarella, ham, peppers and aubergines) or Calabrian (beef, tomato, mozarella, cumin). Fine pasta, homemade sauces, spices on fresh ingredients (around 10 €). Very good chocolate foam, also home.

Hard to go on this small street which, in its time, hosted an excellent pizzeria, whose amateurs still remember. Il Palermo left the place at Veneziano, Sicily in Veneto. The young and friendly welcome, the pizzaïolo acrobatics and the low prices attract the young people who celebrate Victor Hugo. Lasagna or truffles are honourable, but the choice of pasta is always limited. In the entrées of starters, the meats do not come all of the studios or the famous Italian grocery store of Escutcheon, but the roulé of raw ham or ham marinated with juniper berries are to be tested. Pizza question, they are copious and provided (you can even win the rest if you have too much!). Desserts are good: panacotta, tiramitsu or, more original, bunet, chocolate cake, with amaretto and bitter almonds. Marco also holds Le Tango, the restaurant opposite, with specialities of fresh pasta and Piedmont cuisine.

Beaucairois are quick to recommend the Bistrot Italien to visitors. The menu is devised by a chef with a passion for Italian cuisine, who renews his proposals daily. Everything is homemade, with fresh produce and cooked to the minute. Risotto, cannelloni (the pasta is homemade), Osso buco, rib steaks and ribeyes await you, not forgetting pizzas of course. Conveniently located in the center of Beaucaire, with a large dining room, everything is in place for you to have a great time.

A methodical, simple and quick welcome, El Campo is a perfect presentation, as you say in bullfighting. An art of aficion displayed on the walls of this beautiful th century room, with a few models of capes and combats. Would the beautiful décor of apparent stones forget what one has on the plate? The pizzas of El Campo are known for a long time and are no longer what they were, and they have competition in Nîmes. Otherwise, the map is varied, for all tastes, grills, meat, fish, pasta: nothing is missing. Based on regional production, the choice of bottled wines is numerous but not a pitcher. You are served from wine to glass but unfortunately not by jug. On the other hand, faced with arenas, a restaurant that accepts the world later than its competitors was needed. Thanks to Campo, it is done and it is not uncommon to see the last clients of the day landing at midnight.
