Peppino Cantinetta

I’m torn how to review this restaurant. We had a 7 PM reservation and arrived a few minutes early and the whole restaurant was empty except for two men seated outside. We asked if we could sit outside, and the hostess said that they’re all reserved and we had to sit inside. In the next 20 minutes patrons showed up for their reservations and several two person parties were seated outside even though we had been told it was reserved. The hostesses problem is that I know she lied to us because two or three of those couples spoke English and discussed how their reservation was like ours with no specificity about inside or outside and they were going to just ask if they could sit outside and they were seated outside. The restaurant should realize that people speak English and understand each other, and know when they lie about the tables. The food was fine. Average lasagna, and beef cheeks. We’ve had way better tiramisu in the US. There is also pressure to order food and drinks quickly as they approach you with a board to make a decision on the spot and not a menu you can hold and think about. I will say our bottle of reserve montepulciano was excellent!

Thanks to TA reviewers we had dinner at Peppino, what a great restaurant. We had the joues de boeufs and the vegetarian lasagne without pasta. Both plates were amazing and tasty. Service was excellent, the wine list is good (only Italian) and the menu is short and varies from day to day. Note that there are only a few tables and it 's quite busy. Highly recommended

This is a lovely family run restaurant in Nice old town. Decent selection of wines and a very simple menu with about 5-6 choices of main course; makes it very easy to choose! Lasagne was excellent as was the Charcuterie we shared. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Delicious meal. Excellent service and a charming atmosphere. A small menu but between our party we tried almost everything and we all agreed the food was delicious

The service was very slow and the food was mediocre. They had a very small menu compared to what was listed online.
