Chez Acchiardo

We had a fantastic experience at Chez Acchiardo. The food was authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with care — every dish felt like a taste of true Niçoise tradition. The setting was cozy and welcoming, and the atmosphere lively yet relaxed. A big thank you to Aurore, who took excellent care of us throughout the meal. She was attentive, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful. We also had a lovely conversation with her, which made the experience even more memorable — she truly made us feel welcome. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and service. The overall value was excellent — definitely one of the best meals we had during our trip. No wonder so many people have left great reviews — they’ve truly earned their high rating.

Located right in the heart of Old Nice, Chez Acchiardo is a traditional Nicoise restaurant that has been run by four generations of the Acchiardo family and open since 1927. The atmosphere is a rustic, old-world feeling with exposed wood beams, exposed stone wall and a warm character perfect for conversation. It is quite popular so a reservation is recommended. We saw many people turned away for dinner service and were glad to have made a reservation the day before. Fitting for the restaurant, the menu is full of traditional Nice dishes, all of which are at a very reasonable price point. We ordered the grilled lamb chops and grilled beef fillet with sides of green beans and French fries. The duck breast was outstanding, it was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, served with a giant pat of herb-seasoned butter. The grilled beef was also excellent, as were the side dishes. Absolutely wonderful dining experience! The service was top notch, probably in part because it is family owned and operated. Everyone was very kind. They answered questions about the menu with a smile. This restaurant was the #1 spot we wished we had time to go back to. We recommend it to anyone visiting Nice, and we hope to come back one day!

We didn’t have a reservation but were incredibly lucky to get in by arriving just before opening and waiting in line. As a bonus, we scored one of only two sidewalk tables—perfect for people watching and soaking in the charm of Old Town Nice. The staff were warm and welcoming, offering great service throughout the evening. We started with a crisp white wine that paired beautifully with the summer vibe. I ordered the Escalope Milanaise while my wife had a pasta dish—both were solid and satisfying, though not the standout meal of our trip (we may just be getting a bit picky after weeks of French dining!). Still, this place gets a full five stars from us. The combination of historic ambiance, prime location, authentic energy, and gracious service made it exactly the kind of classic Nice restaurant we were hoping to find. A wonderful memory and a true gem for anyone visiting the area.

Found this restaurant courtesy of the Frenchies on YouTube. We had a 7pm reservation and got there at 6:50pm. There was already a line of about 3 or 4 tables. Half of the people in line did not have reservations but were still able to be seated right away I think due to it still being early. The weather was nice enough that it was better for us to be seated outside than inside the restaurant. The service was great! The fish soup was indeed fishy, beef ravioli was great and the steak was okay. I’m glad we got to try it out.

This is a gem in Nice. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Very welcoming and inviting. The food was amazing! So many amazing selections to choose from. My husband ordered the steak with pepper sauce and I had the duck with fig sauce. Both was outstanding. The meats were cooked perfectly and super tender. Great flavours. The photos don't do it justice. We recommend making a reservation a couple days ahead. They do get booked up quickly.

Fantastic Italian restaurant located in old town nice. Def would recommend getting a reservation because the line was long right when they opened. Sebastian was such a wonderful server and was exceptionally attentive and catering. The inside of the restaurant was cute and very romantic. You can literally order anything and have a wonderful dish. Very reasonable pricing as well

The service was perfect. Fast, polite, smiling personnel. The prices were ok. The food was fine, tasty and in good quantity, but not amazing. The atmosphere is nice, on the old side, but very agreeable. A little noisy - depending on your place. Overall, I recommend this restaurant.

Insanely good food, very good quality and taste, and great wine and sauce recommendation from the waiter for the different foods. Big portions and quite cheap for that. Very nice Italian resturant with an amazing interior. Our waiter was very great and nice to us. Would really recommend!!
