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!"

Monika Graj

"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!!"

Café Nizza, after the Italian name for Nice, is an excellent neighbourhood restaurant located in the Södermalm district. The atmosphere of the restaurant is laid-back and welcoming, and the semi-open kitchen’s creations are emphasised for their skill and seasoning. The menu features a range of dishes that draw from both French and Italian cuisine, including a delicious cacio e pepe, a kind of vegetarian variant of pasta carbonara.

Café Nizza is a neighborhood restaurant from the Babette guys in Södermalm, with a focus on European flavors and small-scale wine producers. We dropped by for a glass of wine and a whole-roasted quail with chanterelles and vin jaune sauce, a twist on a classic chicken dish from the Jura district in France. We finished with an incredible mille-feuille with pistachio cream and cherries.

Nizza', as it is known, marked the start of our bar crawl and what better place to begin. This favourite of Södermalm locals and wine heads is the ideal place for a casual glass, plus bread and butter, sitting on the benches, or a full tasting menu on white linen.
