Au Vieux Four — Restaurant in Nice

I've been wanting to try out this place for a while since I keep walking by it and after trying it finally I can say that I'm thoroughly disappointed seeing the good critics that have been shared here.

The food was very lackluster to the point that the person I came with couldn't even finish her meal. I've had better experiences with pastas by buying them at Carrefour with some cheap tomato sauce and mixing them together honestly.

If you do happen to find yourself there, do not order anything that is not a pizza as it seems to be the only meal they can properly cook.

Additionally, the service was extremely slow despite the employees having visibly no work to do at several point in time.

We had to wait 20 minutes to get our bill and another 20 minutes to get our change money since we paid in cash.

Overall an extremely disappointing experience, will definitely not go there again.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the insane prices of the food, absolutely ludicrous considering you can get better meals with bigger quantities at better prices elsewhere...

My favourite pizza spot in Nice for 'French-style' pizza, I frequently order from here. Thin and crispy crust with cantal as the cheese base. Pascal, the pizzaiolo is very grumpy but in the most amusing/ endearing way, I personally adore him, he's a real character. The staff and servers are nice. I would give it five stars, but on the very odd occaision the pizza has been a miss, so there's some room for better consistency in the overall quality of the pizzas, but when they get it right - boy do they get it right.

Side note: If you're looking for Italian style pizza - thin base, thin but puffy and slightly chewy crust with mozarella chese base then I recommend you hit up 'Made in Sud Pizzeria'...

Mixed.. friendly service. Smell of the wood fire oven is great. Pizzas not bad, not the best. We opted for pizzas as a starter and meat as main, with mixed result. Entrecôte’s in both sizes , 250g and 500g were grilled just fine. The mini cote de Boeuf, however, horrible. Almost impossible to cut or eat. Can happen, is more of a supplier problem than kitchen , but despite it being very evident there was a problem with it. There was little attention given when clearing the plates..

Despite this clear miss, it’s a nice little family friendly restaurant. You just can not serve this kind of poor quality meat, ever. And definitely not ignore a plate like this when taken back to...
