Reviews Summary
Café Nizza receives praise for its delicious pasta, particularly the cacio e pepe, and its cozy, trendy atmosphere that's perfect for dates or impressing friends. While many appreciate the quality of food and friendly service, some find the prices to be on the higher side, and a few reviews mention that certain dishes may lack finesse or seasoning.
"Delicious food with great service. It’s a bit pricey, but totally worth it. I peeked and caught the chef was making fresh pasta for my dish—it was amazing. Every ingredient was perfectly chosen and made the dish stand out. Highly recommend!"

"It was over my expectations. Dragged into this restaurant thanks to the recommendation from my hubby. Took the course menu - appetizer, pasta, main and dessert with 695kr. Fantastic choice for each and very good wine assortment. Everything was good, - from the bread and butter, light but well cooked vegetables appetizer, cacio e pepe!!! Fabulous pasta with perfectly cooked and seasoned. Main - pork or pikeperch with well cooked and synchronized garnish was so taste ( we wete so full with all those food).
Super nice staffs who made great recommendations for wines, quick, friendly and also professional...
Strongly recommended!!"
