La Piazzetta - Le Cannet

Nous avions une table en terrasse avec vue sur Cannes et la mer. La place est magnifique avec des trésors anciens, une fontaine, un joli globe de lampe suspendu blanc. Le restaurant lui-même est confortable et à l'intérieur, ce serait certainement bien. Nous avons payé 16 euros pour un verre de Nero d'Avola, un filet de fax servi comme nous l'avions demandé, des frites parfaites et une salade fraîche, un bon expresso ensuite. Service parfait et souriant. Cela semble très bien ? C'était!

La Piazzetta est l'un des plus anciens restaurants de Cannes. La décoration intérieure est très traditionnelle et mérite le détour. Il se trouve derrière l'Hôtel de Ville de Cannes et de l'autre côté de la route. C'est bien plus qu'une pizzeria et sert de très bons plats méditerranéens. Et tous les plats habituels, moules chips, aïoli le vendredi etc. mais aussi de la bonne cuisine. Le plat du jour est d'un bon rapport qualité-prix et il y a plusieurs choix chaque jour. Il faut arriver avant 12h30 sinon les plats du jour auront disparu. Il y a une belle salle à manger à l'extérieur qui est couverte quand il fait froid et qui est suffisamment longue pour que vous puissiez éviter les fumeurs. Nous y mangeons souvent en hiver.

The restaurant is in a lovely setting in the square in the old town surrounded by other restaurants. Sadly the setting is where most of the positives end. Most things on the menu were not available including drinks. I felt a bit sorry for the only staff member serving but they didn’t help themselves in not being proactive with what was available. When we finally did get some food it was average at best. You would think that a pizza restaurant would do better than serve short crust pastry base and must have had a over order of carrots as they appeared on all pizzas. Maybe we went on a bad day as this is supposed to be one of the oldest restaurants so they must get things right sometimes.

We had been for coffee in the morning by bus from Cannes and decided to go back again in the evening for dinner. Although quite the service and food were excellent. I had a pepperoni pizza and my wife had Escalopes with mushroom sauce and fresh spaghetti both were excellent. I would imagine a great place to eat out in the summer when you could sit outside on the square.

This plaza in Le Cannet is used by several restaurants all seem to be nice. We chose La Piazzetta considering small children always like pizza and lasagna, and itlsian food is also popular for us. The menu was nice, offering antipasti, pasta and secondi. My tipp for the gourmet among you: try the Tagliata de Manzo, really really nice ! Enjoy.
