“ Huge tasty pizza with a very thin crust, waiters were great- very attentive and friendly! My pizza and two glasses of rose was €32 which is very cheap for a dinner in Cannes ”
“ Blown away by this restaurant. We happened to stumble upon it not expecting much but it was probably the best place I have eaten at in Cannes or my many years here. Our waiter was kind, funny, and very helpful. He recommended I try this cheese and fig ravioli, which i was very hesitant about but it ended up being absolutely delicious. The carpaccio and octopus were also amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Cannes. Will definitely be coming here again next summer. ”
