My brother and I were on a city break in Nice and after checking the reviews on trip advisor we went for an evening meal at Alto. We were not disappointed. The food, ambience, service and value for money were spot on. We tried all of the tapas available as they were all carefully thought out and selected by the... More

We've eaten in so many restaurant in Nice, but Alto is one I will remember. One of the tapas was ordinary (tagletelle with clams), but the others were outstanding. I loved the frommage with honey, the egg with truffles, the pate, and the panna cotta with caramel sauce.. Because of the warm welcome, the friendly waiter, the original and tasty... More

We would never have found this hidden gem if not for tripadvisor. This is truly a gourmet trip for someone who has tasted everything once before. Eggs with black truffels. Fantastic. It's worth a visit no doubt.

We had seen the reviews on tropadvisor so decided to give it a try. We had the lunchtime menu of 3 tapas and a dessert for 12 euros and we really enjoyed the food. The service was friendly and speedy and we would defiately return when next in Nice

We came here on a quiet Thursday night at 7- no need for booking. Waiter was nice and explained everything in good English. We opted for the 4 tapas plus dessert per person, which was about 25 euro. There were only 10 tapas dishes on the menu, so the two of us got to try the majority of them. Out... More

Can't resist writing this review to share our experience dining in this small, casual yet excellent restaurant. I'm sure the waiter here is the owner or one of the shareholders. He carried a warm smile all the time even when he was extremely busy. No problem communicating with him as he spoke fluent English, was enthusiastic in explaining the dishes.... More

Rather unspectacular from the outside, this is definately THE place to go for extraordinary tapas in Nice! This family-owned restaurant only accomodates 20 people, so make sure to place a reservation in advance. The service matches fantastic food, the tapas du jour were explained to us in perfect english. Loved this place, don't miss it!

I live in Nice and eat at many restaurants here and had never heard of this one. What a shame that I've missed 2 years of opportunities to eat here. The service was first class, which is rare for Nice. The quality and diversity of dishes was impressive and it is also a great value for money. It is a... More
