Nice: experience La Dolce Vita at these Italian delis!
Italian cuisine is world-renowned for its sophisticated simplicity and fabulous flavours. Locals love Italian food and, given how close Nice is to Italy, it’s the perfect place to try it for yourself without having to leave the Côte d’Azur. The city’s Italian delis serve an incredible array of gourmet gems: subtly aromatic olive oil, artisan pasta, cured meats, tasty cheese and outstanding wine. Let’s visit them and take home a slice of Italy!
Fatti Cosi: the experts in fresh pasta
It’s hard to find such an extensive array of fresh and unique pasta: mafaldine, spaghetti alla chitarra, cappellacci, gigli, fusilli, gnocchi, ravioli and the customer favourite: lemon ravioli. All made in-house on the day using organic flour, fresh and natural ingredients and eggs from free range hens. Fatti Cosi also sells a wide range of sauces and deli items: olive oil, cured meats, wine and antipasti take pride of place. What’s the company’s motto? “We’re always looking for new ideas true to the hottest trends, customer demand and seasons.” So you know that you’re always in for something new every time you visit.

Sapori di Casa Mia: Trattoria vibes
It feels like you’re in Naples when you step inside and see the home accessories, little tables to sit and enjoy delicious dishes, the shop filled with products celebrating Italy… but you’re not. You’re on Avenue Gioffredo in Nice! Sapori di Casa Mia is famous for its authentic Neapolitan smoked mozzarella, antipasti platters, cheese and meat boards. It’s the perfect place to visit if you want to host an Italian dinner party without the prep. The “chef a casa” makes all the dishes with love and care: all you have to do is enjoy them! So, shall we order?

Bonta Italiane: Milan comes to Nice
Open the door and step over the threshold into Italy: the atmosphere, counters full of cheese and other treats, hams hanging high and pasta, all brought to life by Adriano’s sing-song accent!

Start with a hearty meat platter followed by truffle ravioli, then mascarpone and gorgonzola with homemade tiramisu to end on a high. There’s your shopping list!
