We went to ALTO on recommendation from a friend.... we were a table of 7. The service was fabulous, we had the special menu for the evening and were not dissappointed - just over fed! We ate so much food it was unbelievable! We had a vegetarian and an extremely fussy eater in the group - it was no problem... More

I have been going here regularly since it opened. Great food and friendly service. Excellent value. I recommend the egg with truffle which I get every time. The rest of the menu changes regularly so you're always in for a surprise, but it's all great.

Brought by a friend couple, we chose this restaraunt initially as a last minute option but actually this restaurant has been an awesome surprise! Very good dishes very well cooked by the chef, that mixed the traditional tapas with Italian and French food styles. Special mention for octopus tempura and the dish of scampis. Very good service and a reasonable... More

We choose eggs with black truffles. The powder was black but has not a black truffle taste. The other tapas ware not tasty and the tiramissu, for desert, was a... More

Over dinner at Alto, my two friends and I - on a short break to Nice - discussed how we never write restaurant reviews but would feel compelled to do so after the amazing experience we enjoyed here. The chef used inventive twists on traditional tapas to create some exceptional dishes, including octopus tempura, Piemont cheese with honey and crushed... More

We went to this restaurant on a Monday night and there were a few other tables eating. We loved the food and felt it was one of our favourites during our trip to nice so would definitely recommend. We had 6 dishes to share for two people and also had a desert each and that was enough for us. They... More

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.
