The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur

Above all, it's the freshness that comes with an Italian inspired cuisine that is simply superb, simple, but careful in preparing and presenting. Spaghetti with seafood, very original pizzas but also classical (from EUR 11), tronchetto (EUR 12) and other risottos and meat without forgetting the desserts (EUR 7,50) and the sweet pizza (EUR 9) simply exquisite. Even if we do not work here with Italian products but French products, the know-how of the cooks is enough. There are also antipasti, artisanales and many originality. Add to this a diligent and efficient service, as well as a framework of great elegance, very spacious and comfortable, in which tables are arranged to be more or less separated from each other. The small one: The restaurant does not make a reservation, wait for a moment to stay in the entrance if the attendance is on schedule. The little plus: The value for money is impeccable.

This hotel does not offer you a gastronomic journey in the heart of Italy but rather the discovery of the flavours of Sicily. Did you know that Sicilian cuisine was one of the healthiest in the world? Concocted with many vegetables, long mijotée, enhanced with olive oil, it radiates fragrances appreciated by the finest palates! Specialities sing the sun: tagliolini del granio (fine pasta in eggs flambées with grappa and rosemary in the Parmesan stone, linguine Corléone (cooked seafood pasta), maison (large ricotta ravioli, spinach and tomato sauce), it carciofo (small artichokes stuffed with beef and tomato). Not to mention traditional risotto, lasagna, macaroni, spaghetti and other pasta cooked home with local products. The wine map will surprise you (very detailed and explanatory) with great Sicilian wines: Hugonis, terra di tarses, re manfredi. A good address to discover.

A pleasant décor based on large windows, mirrors and green plants where the classics are prepared in the rules of art. The fish are in honour - wolf fillet with white butter citronné, mixed grill of the sea, frito misto à l'Italian sauce pie, giant gambas to provence, fisherman's pot like a home bouillabaisse, risotto to seafood - as well as pasta - international, fresh soup to both salmon or mushrooms, spaghetti to seafood. On the meat side, beef is well represented with the faux sauce of peppers or fillet with seasonal mushrooms, not forgetting duck magret with raspberries, salads and pizzas. The delicious homemade desserts, the very nice service, for a high quality price ratio. The little plus: in quality as in quantity, no fear to have.

A pleasant stop in front of the gardens of Place Masséna, which bears its name. It is held by an Italian family, the sympathy of the young boss and his wife makes it a place where one feels very comfortable. One can grab a piece at any time of the day (salads, oak, dishes of the day…) or simply drink a drink between friends (nice cocktail card). Music aperitif on Thursday evening with resident DJ. Beautiful sunny terrace A fairly cosmopolitan clientele, from the young student to the passing tourist.

A restaurant that is very popular with traditional Italian cuisine, but tasty. The chief has been the same since opening. Excellent buco, pasta and spaghetti osso for clams, for example, and Italian wines at reasonable prices. The great wisdom of prices, the charm of hospitality and friendliness make this address very attractive. Private parking. A digestive is available to all readers of Petit Smart.

This pizzeria is ideal for a great evening among friends. The dishes are varied from salad to pizza, but they're all garnis, so you'll need to know good choices on the order, not to finish your meal! A very friendly atmosphere.

Pasta and pizza, including the Hawaiian, an original creation on a tomato sauce basis, with ham, dotted with cheese and pineapple, or vegetarian, for lovers of vegetables, with artichokes, mushrooms, peppers and olives, all the repertoire of the traditional pizzeria is present in this address long ago in Bormes, in the quiet area of the Favière, to withdraw from seaside animation. 

It is a pleasant establishment, with a deliciously old-fashioned decor, with no other pretension than to offer you excellent cuisine to be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere. The plates are well garnished, the recipes certainly classic, but prepared with taste, based on fresh products. They are nicely presented and served by a pleasant and competent staff. As this is an Italian restaurant, you can of course enjoy the excellent pizzas. And if you can't finish, which is possible, you can take your leftovers home.
