Why Travelers Love Pappagallo
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Easily the best pasta in town. A wonderful authentic Italian food experience. A visit to Pappagallo will not disappoint. Wonderful pasta which always has focaccia as a side. Weekly sourced fresh produce from Italy and pasta made daily. A must visit Absolutely delicious and I cannot recommend enough! Everything was incredible, very friendly staff, great value for money, large portions and amazing drinks! You must book in advance but well worth it! So good we came twice in 8 days. We tried 5 of the pastas, but the Rigatoni & vodka pasta were CRAZY, as well as the stracciatella & burrata. All standout dishes of a short trip to Nice. Owners are super cool and great guys to chat with, who gave us great recommendations for the rest of our time in the city. Can’t say enough good things about this spot.

The variety of taste and ideas across the menu got me excited. I will come back for sure on my next trip. There are tables inside, but also on the street outside

5⭐️ all the way. Best restaurant we’ve been to in Nice. The food was fresh, amazing quality, and honestly just delicious. Perfect for a date night but also works great for dinner with friends. Service is quick, the food doesn’t take long at all, and every single thing on the menu looks unreal. They bring you complimentary focaccia bread and a bottle of water to start, which is such a nice touch. The waiters were really friendly and welcoming, which made the whole night even better. I got the Genovese pesto pasta and my girlfriend had the yellow tomato sauce pasta, both were incredible. We finished with the affogato for dessert and can’t recommend it enough. 10/10 overall, no complaints whatsoever.
