If you want good Italian food and Italian natural wines, Epiro is a must in Nice. Most places with natural wines in Nice focus on French natural wine, so Epiro’s Italian-focused wine list is one reason we LOVE this place.
We recommend trying the natural wines from Campania. The owners of Epiro are from Rome (and have a sister restaurant there), so their advice on Southern Italian wines is to be trusted. They also make a fantastic carbonara. It’s not to be missed. The octopus ragu was delicious and tender. The table next to us ordered the fried vegetables and if we went back we’d order that too!
Call ahead to book a table. If the weather is nice, request a table outdoors since it’s just across from the marina with huge yachts, sailboats, and a dramatic cliff to admire while you enjoy top notch food and wine.
If you can’t make it to Nice, now you can make their pasta at home! Get Epiro Nice’s Amatriciana Pasta Recipe made with guanciale, tomatoes, and red wine in The Taste Edit Issue 2.
