"Portovenere has a family restaurant feel to it. There are locals, or even annual visitors like the couple who sat next to us, who have developed quite a rapport with both the chef/owner and the service staff. That made for an enjoyable atmosphere as there was conversation flowing all night. My wife got rigatoni with tomato and basil, which was a very simple dish, but full of wonderful flavor. I chose the tortellini in a tomato and pesto cream sauce and was in no way disappointed with my selection. Our garden salad and grilled vegetables to start were delicious, and the house wine was exactly what we hoped for -- good quality for an even better price. The highlight, even with everything else tasting so good, was this overflowing with goodness tiramisu that we were served after hours of conversation with nearby patrons and the staff. This stuff is write-home-to-your-mother good. Finally, I want to point out that a young man walked up to the restaurant at about 11:07 p.m. and asked for dinner, but the owner pointed out that they had just closed at 11:00 and he could not serve him. The young man understood and was clearly disappointed, but as he walked away, the owner called to him and motioned for him to sit at the table closest to the door. The staff re-set the table and served him what looked like a delicious steak meal. That told me everything I needed to know about the sort of people who are taking care of you when you decide to have your dinner at Portovenere in Nice."

"Eelam a, pendant plus de cinq ans, représenté pour moi un excellent restaurant de quartier, avec un rapport qualité prix imbattable. Malheureusement, depuis quelques mois et un changement dans l'équipe (serveur plus particulièrement) beaucoup de choses ont changé avec une nette baisse de l'accueil et du service. La cuisine est toujours très bonne, mais l'accueil déplorable, les tables souvent sales et mal dressées, le comportement du serveur nonchalant et malhonnête. Lors de mon avant dernier passage, sa petite entourloupe concernant les desserts (nous a apporté un dessert sans nous faire choisir)a transformé notre menu à 16€ en formule à 12€, mais toujours facturée à 16. Sans compter les pains, eaux, bière et couverts qu'il faut demander et redemander plusieurs fois avant qu'on ne daigne nous les servir, et ce même avec une salle vide. L'incident de mon dernier passage me fait décider de ne plus y retourner. Ledit serveur s'est précipité pour nous faire payer alors que nous n'avions pas encore fini, car nous voulions prendre un café, a dégainé sa machine à carte bleue sans que nous ayons demandé l'addition, ne nous a pas apporté de note, et nous a surfacturé de 4€. Nous l'avons laissé allé jusqu'au bout de sa petite magouille et l'avons bien recadré ensuite. Malheureusement, ce type de comportement ne peut que me faire décider de ne plus y retourner. très déçu donc !"

"2 meals shot at the 11th Art and a renewed pleasure I have lunched 2 days in a row at the 11th Art this week, with two different people (both "bluffed" by the level of this restaurant and its value for money. Always this warm welcome from Salvatore, the waiter, the boss and the boss.... always this little attention, this questioning about your satisfaction, your well-being, which make you want to come back... always simple dishes, but deliciously cooked with fresh products... Yesterday’s entry of grilled vegetables with olive oil and chicken back and its vegetable flan (succulent and white rice.... Today entry of fish and aïoli rillettes and its small steamed vegetables....... Not only do I have to emphasize the freshness of the products, but the fish of the Iaioli was cooked to perfection, so much that it melted in the mouth! In the 2 formulas of the day, the restaurant generally offers 2 different entries based on grilled vegetables or fish, velvety or other, and 2 different dishes based on meat or fish. So we choose to take just a dish of the day (10€, or a dish, or an entrance-plat-dessert that will not exceed 16,50€.... Beyond the excellence of the proposed dishes, the performance of the value-for-price ratio is no longer to be demonstrated!! As for the tapenade, served generously with its crusts, as an aperitif, it is absolutely tasty.. and I always want to ask how it is prepared, to redo it for my friends, but ENFIN! We're not going to ask the chief to reveal all his secrets!! In addition, (and that’s where you have the assurance of a perfect hygiene, the toilets are absolutely clean, the valves of the sinks have been changed, it is maintained to avoid the traces of limestone and above all... there’s hot water (very rare in most public places and the product of lavage always renewed and a roll of paper to keep your hands dry and not those Finally, I add that the location of the 11th Art is ideal: it is located in the Golden Square, this very popular area of Nice, and a few meters from the Promenade des Anglais.... It is therefore easy to park your vehicle either in one of the 2 car parks that are nearby (rue de France or rue du Congrès , go quietly to lunch in this restaurant and then go for a ride on the Prom’. Yesterday we went on foot to the Port.. So strategic place to visit Nice, go to its city occupancy or go to its business meetings. And then....I have to underline the honesty of the boss, who came to give me a too much impression on the bill my friend had paid yesterday, while we had not asked for anything! Really! this restaurant deserves to be known, recognized, and appreciated at its fair value... We recommend it without any reservation and will continue to taste its delicious, really un expensive cuisine! Dear readers, forgive me again my photos so few or taken a little late, as we had already swallowed three quarters of the gourmet coffee !!!!"

"Stepping inside, there was a slightly suspicious smell. Not detectable unless paying very close attention. But not right. We had Menu palet de poulet frit (11,50 €) and Menu sashimi (19 €).First, some rice chips were served. Extremely boring and didn't serve any purpose. Then we had the simple cabbage salad. The seasoning was good and the vegetables were fresh. But the cabbage and the seasoning were way too warm so that almost ruined that dish. Then miso soups. They were very normal and good, no faults there.The chicken (minced meat) was normal home cooking quality, ok by itself. But the lettuce under the chicken was too old to be plated. The sashimi was almost a joke as previously commented. Stamp sized pieces and half of them were not fresh. Not terrible, but no way could some of the fish be called fresh. The variety was not sufficient for 19 euros (though that price is including the mentioned other dishes on lunch).The background music. Absolutely unimaginable. Playing one song in repeat, and what a song. The worst possible kind of 80s electronic music, basically muzak with a club beat. Absolutely nothing to do with Japan and the repetition made it feel like some kind of bad computer game where the music just doesn't change.The nail in the coffin was the oshibori (hot towel). It was served after the meal. Why after? The worst possible thing to do with oshibori is to have them smell so much that they smell even before opening them and what's worse, they leave your hands terribly smelly after using. Needless to say, a catastrophe."
