Why Travelers Love Bocca Nissa
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We absolutely loved this place. Every dish was incredible. The eggplant with feta was perfectly balanced, the smoked stracciatella with haricots verts was rich and flavorful, and the ceviche was the standout with its bright mango and yuzu flavors. It was a beautiful mix of textures and freshness all around. The sangria was a little on the sweet side for us, but everything else was 10/10. We would definitely come back. We came here for our anniversary trip and had an amazing dinner. The food and atmosphere were wonderful, and I would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion or a family dinner. The customer service was outstanding and made us feel truly welcome. Here's staff are amazing who Joy and Lionel!!! We really appreciate their hospitality and highly recommend visiting. If you are in Nice, you should definitely come here! The rooftop terrace was beautiful! The staff there was also extremely kind and friendly. My boyfriend and I did “La dolce vita” special for 2 people, and I would say everything we had was quite tasty!! As our main, we got the octopus plate which was full of flavor 😋 great place!

Great service and delicious food. Not easy to find a place which does tapas and this place managed it perfectly. I was a little worried to see the bad comments about the speed of the service but it was so fast and the stuff was so welcoming, they are all hard workers. I want to thank Alicia for her smiling face and great service: you are doing a great job, thank you! Totally recommend it to everyone! I will definitely come again to try the other dishes.

Looking for a date night in Nice? Bocca should be your pick. Make sure you have a reservation a few days before, it gets busy!. Enjoy exotic foods that are full of flavour. We enjoyed the second set menu with some nice cocktails. The atmosphere is excellent with tropical vibes.
