    Salad and pizza were delicious! Salad was very fresh loved the grilled eggplant and zucchini! Pizza was very good! Would come back! Small inside , our reservation was late so no outside seating but was very authentic.

    Vanbbuo Cucina provides an authentic Italian trattoria experience. The food is obviously lovingly prepared and delicious! The homemade pasta and pizzas are topped with certified Italian produce and taste beautiful. The only downside was the restaurant was very hot as the door was opened to serve customers outside. Otherwise a great experience 😘

    On our first night in Nice, due to great recommendations, we booked Vabbuo and were delighted with the choice and quality of the food. Make sure you book as it is very popular. The pizzas are the best we've eaten.

    We walked past here at lunchtime to check it out and it didn’t look like much. We were so wrong. It was busy by the evening and I am glad we had bothered to reserve. Food was fab, service was fab. Very authentic, really good choice from the menu, fresh, tasty, delicious. Service was attentive, not over bearing, fun and friendly. Been here 3 days and this is my fav so far. Don’t be fooled by the plain exterior .

    Vabbuo Cucina e Pizza was excellent. I had the linguine all vongole (clams) and my friend had a salad with egg and tons of fresh vegetables. My pasta was done perfectly and the clams were clean, succulent, and delicious. The salad was hearty and very fresh. All in all, a wonderful choice we highly recommend.

    This is a lovely little Italian restaurant. Excellent pizza again today, definitely the best I’ve had anywhere and my husband really enjoyed the Mussels. We have been several times now and have always enjoyed the great food and lovely welcoming atmosphere here.

    Incredible Italian food, perfectly prepared and simply presented. We had salad and pastas with baba au rhum for dessert. Every mouthful was great: carbonara and pesto. So good we decided to return tomorrow!

    Food was good. Neapolitan pizza and other Italian favorites. Bit cramped but service is good as well as food. Family owned and run. Simple and casual.

    Friendly reception and authentic Italian food. Extra points if you order anything from Campania like Falanghina Beneventano wine or the Baba Beneventano dessert. Great seafood pastas, and friends say the pizza is excellent. Be sure to reserve, because we've seen countless walk-ins turned away.

    Lovely local restaurant. Fresh flavoursome pasta dishes and huge pizzas on offer here. I had the pesto linguine which was delicious. The place is small, (around half a dozen tables) so do book in advance. Lots of people were turned away on the Monday night we ate here. it’s popular with locals too, which is a good sign. I will definitely return next time we’re in Nice.

    Third visit, had the spaghetti vongole special and a fab couple of bottles of white wine. The aubergine parmigiana was superb and it’s accompanying flat bread. Desserts of lemon sorbet and Afogato were delicious.

    Lovely family run Italian restaurant. Waiter very welcoming and brings the small board with the days specials. Menu has huge selection of dishes. Been twice in three days, first time had pasta and second time pizza; both times excellent. Wine by the pichet from Puglia wa superb. Have been over the years and always good. They had to turn away six couples while we were there as they were fully booked so booking advisable.

    Amazing owner. Very friendly and inviting. It was our first visit and the ingredients in the pizza are superb! Wine selection is also excellent. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. Thanks for a great dinner!

    Food is great, pizzas some of the best in Nice but service is just so slow, even though it’s delivered with energy and a smile. We waited so long for everything: menus, drinks, food and some items we had to ask for multiple times. It’s all handled very pleasantly so makes it hard to get frustrated…and ultimately the food is very good. So if you have plenty of time then don’t hesitate to come.

    Never go here, horrible customer service - I showed up for my reservation and he told us he can’t seat us because he never checked the reservation and doesn’t have space and was rude and told us to leave

    I think people misinterpret the host sometimes. He may seem crass but he’s actually very nice. I do recommend making a reservation prior, he does tend to send walk ins away at dinner time. The service we had was great, the atmosphere authentic Italian. We ordered the vongole and the carbonara, both solid. Great wine pairing and even went for a pizza to go for lunch the next day and it was perfect.

    Very, very good Italian restaurant with a great host and even better food! Felt like being in Italy! Just awesome! We’ve had the whole host: starter, which was unbelievably good, fantastic pizza as a main course and a great lemon sorbet for dessert. Perfect night and affordable prices for Nice!

    The food was fantastic!!! This was one of the best Italian restaurants I‘ve ever visited! The service was also very nice. Only the ambiente could be better, it doesn’t match the quality of the awesome food! Less light, some candles, more decoration and it would be a 10 out of 10!
