Délicieux restaurant italien 🇮🇹

🇮🇹 Restaurant fidèle à la tradition italienne en proposant des premiers plats, deuxième plats, etc.
📜 La carte offre un vaste choix.
🧀 Coup de cœur pour les fromages végétaux faits maison et absolument délicieux !
🍄‍🟫 Les pâtes et pizzas à base de crème et champignons sont à tomber !
🪑 La salle est spacieuse et agréable.
👍 Un des rares restaurants vegans à Nice, qui vaut largement le détour !

Pros: Fromages végétaux maisons, Qualité et saveurs des plats, Salle spacieuse

Cons: Manque un couteau à pizza

Go for the carbonara and the panacotta

My first impression of the food here was not that great but we went back and this time I had the Carbonara and panacotta and they were fantastic- pasta went so quickly and the panacotta was the best vegan one I’ve had.


Original review -

Considering the price the food here should have much more flavour
Wide variety of options but I found the food lacked much flavour- i had to add quite a lot of salt.

Don’t get the cornucopia pizza or gnocchi

Vegan pizzas

One of the very few vegan restaurants in Nice. Unfortunately, veggies are not part of their menu. It's mainly pizzas and dishes with lots of carbs. The pizzas are delicious though and even the dough itself is super tasty. The black forest pie was very nicely arranged on the plate and delicious.
Two things that I didn't like were that both times we visited last week, the staff cleaned something, or at least it smelled like they were using cleaning products, which was quite unpleasant. The other thing was that the menu isn't always that clear. E.g. I would assume that the Saltimburger has sage in it, however it wasn't written in the menu.

Big selection of vegan food

The pizza was not especially good, but it had a nice dough and good optics. I had the cornucopia pizza, which was described as a cone pizza. A bit more of staffage than taste for my bit, particularly the meat balls which were kind of more like falafels. The cheese was also not the best I have had. My friend had the chefs selection of gnocchi, and they were satisfied.

Leider mehr Schein als Sein

Tolle Idee – rein veganes Restaurant in Nizza! Leider enttäuscht das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis: sehr hohe Preise, spärlicher Belag, Geschmack durchschnittlich. Hoffe auf Verbesserungen, denn das Konzept ist wertvoll!

Es ist wirklich schwer, ein rein veganes Restaurant an der Côte d’Azur kritisch zu bewerten – gerade in einer Region, in der vegane Optionen nach wie vor Mangelware sind. Allein die Tatsache, dass es Utopia gibt, ist eigentlich schon ein Grund zur Freude. Umso bedauerlicher ist es, dass mein Besuch leider enttäuschend war.

Die Preise sind für mich kaum nachvollziehbar: Eine Pizza für über 22 €, dazu ein Softdrink für 6 €, da ist man schnell bei knapp 30 € – und das bei eher durchschnittlicher Qualität. Die „Porcini & Salsiccia“-Pizza etwa war nicht nur sehr spärlich belegt, sondern die selbstgemachte vegane „Käsesoße“ hatte geschmacklich leider gar nichts mit Käse zu tun – eher eine neutrale, etwas schleimige Textur, die das Erlebnis eher geschmälert hat.

Beim zweiten Besuch hatte ich das Gericht Côte de Bluff, das zwar nett angerichtet war, aber aus nicht mehr als einem Sojafilet und stark übersalzenen Kartoffelspalten bestand. Keine Beilage, kein Salat – dafür wieder über 22 €. Ich bin grundsätzlich bereit, für gute vegane Küche angemessene Preise zu zahlen, aber hier stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für mich leider nicht.

Was ich mir wünsche:
• etwas mehr Großzügigkeit beim Belag
• eine bessere Auswahl bzw. Überarbeitung der veganen Käsealternativen
• und vor allem: fairere Getränkepreise

Ich hoffe sehr, dass Utopia sich in Zukunft in diesen Punkten weiterentwickelt, denn das Konzept ist wichtig und wertvoll – gerade in dieser Region. Für mich persönlich war es aber leider kein Ort, den ich erneut Mal besuchen würde.

Plats typiques italiens revisités pour les rendre complètement vegan. Les desserts également sont excellents également. Les prix sont plus élevés que la moyenne.

Délicieux

Un vrai restaurant Italien vegan avec la possibilité de manger sans gluten (pour les pizzas il faut les prévenir à l’avance). Un délice

Pros: Ne pas rater les pâtes à la carbonara, La mousse au chocolat

Utopia lives up to its name and reputation

Amazing. Every dish we had was delicious and every dish we saw served made us want to return. Absolutely remarkable. The servers were also friendly and welcoming, even though the place was nicely full.

Pros: Delicious food, Beautiful presentation , Friendly servers

Incredible Italian Experience!

Extensive list of pizzas and Arancini Balls (on the specials menu) to die for! The tomato sauce with them was also top quality and full of flavour. A lot of the home made touches here, e.g. the ‘speck’, really make this place stand out. As does the service, which we found very welcoming and upbeat. We were too full for dessert, but they looked great as well.

Great food, great cocktails!

This place has an extensive menu so lots of choice. There’s a lot of pizza on the menu but a few other dishes too - I had the cheesy gnocchi which was delicious. The cocktails were delicious, and the dessert menu has some great options - cheesecake, Crème Brûlée, Cannoli to name a few. Definitely worth a visit!

The cheese is not the best, but was ok

Ordered pizza from here in one of the evenings we spent in Nice.
I loved the authentic Neapolitan pizza base, the homemade cheese is very runny and though it looks like cheese it doesn’t have a flavour and it’s plain. We had the pizza with La vie which was tasty anyway due to La vie flavour.
The Nutella pizza doesn’t have actual Nutella in it, it was ok.

Great vegan restaurant

A great vegan restaurant. We were in Nice for a few days and went there twice because the food was very good. The pizzas taste great, but the carbonara topped everything. It was a bit small portion, but it was the best carbonara I've eaten so far. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Pros: Pasta Carbonara, Friendly staff

Low effort, sky high prices

I'm sorry to pop the bubble, but I've got to be honest. This place is way overhyped and way way overpriced. Low quality vegan pizzas for anyone who has eaten in more than 2-3 vegan places. And it takes only looking at the menu and trying a single pizza to realize it.

The emphasis here is clearly the pizzas. There are about 20 options, no less. The prices are exorbitant, no other way to put it. Most of them higher even than in the famous Purezza Camden in London. Yes, London. But the options here are much less special and interesting. They are all basically different combinations of the same vegan cheeses and meat alternatives, some of them even industrial (beyond and lavie). Very little if any vegetables, nuts, Légumineuses, definitely no pesto, chestnuts, butternut, tofu or fruits. Yes, some of these toppings are somewhat crazy, but so is charging 19-22.5 eur for a pizza.

As for the pizza itself, simple pizzas can also be excellent. But these are definitely not.
I had the "ragu" pizza, which was practically a pizza with meatballs. The meatballs were supposed to be vegetable balls but were simply falafel. Apart from the fact that falafel is not a vegetable ball, Ragu should be a meat sauce or chunks, not large falafels (they just fall off the pizza...). The tomato sauce did not feel fresh. The few basil leaves did not even look fresh. The cheese was okay but lacked seasoning. The dough could use a bit more baking. Overall, a very mediocre pizza at a very not mediocre price for such an inexpensive classic.

I'm really sorry, but vegans deserve more.

It’s fine, nice to have the option

Huge menu, all vegan, quite a large restaurant too so no struggle to get a table. Pizza is good but I’ve had many better elsewhere - nice to have the option of Italian though!

Pros: Lots of choice

Best vegan cheese I've ever tasted

Can't recommend the cheese platter enough, I never k ew vegan cheese could taste so good and wish I'd gone back to have it again! Pizzas are also delicious, lots of options it is a bit pricey but the price speaks for the quality of the food.

Pros: Cheese!!, Traditional Italian style menu

Cons: Atmosphere was a bit too elegant for me

Utopis

Nettes Personal, schönes Restaurant, sehr gutes Essen.
Man muss etwas mehr zahlen, sber man sieht auf dem Teller, wie frisches und gutes Essen man dafür bekommt.
Der vegane Burger war so nah am Fleischgeschmack, dass es mir tatsächlich schon zu echt war. Aber trotzdem sehr sehr lecker.
Nur die vegane Mayo fand ich geschmacklich nicht gut.
Auf der Karte ein paar verwirrende bzw falsche Übersetzungen. Bei mir stand zB ich bekomme Pommes und bei meinem Partner stand Süßkartoffel. Er hat Süßjartoffelpommes bekommen und ich habe Kartoffelecken bekommen. Bei Mozarella steht vegetarisch, wo anders steht veganer Käse.

Aber auf Nachfrage wurde garantiert, dass alles vegan ist und das sehr nett.

Ein Besuch lohnt sich!

Pros: Nettes Personal, Frische Zubereitung , Sehr Leckeres essen

Cons: Dessert Preise stehen nicht auf der Karte

Amazing Italian food

We had a pizza and the 4 different calzone dish. The portions are too big, I wanted to try dessert but there's no way I could have. The menu is huge so loads to choose from. The 'meats' they use are really good.


Visited again in Sept 2024. Delicious food! Carbonara is a winner!

Best vegan Pizza

We visited as a group of three (all vegan). The menu is very extensive and has something for everyone. The cheese platter is perfect for sharing, and the cheese dip is the best we've ever had. The pizza was incredibly delicious (with vegan Serrano – something we hadn’t tried before). The portions were large and filling. Highly recommended!!!!!!!

One of the best vegan Pizzas I had

My girlfriend and I went there on our vacation.
We had a selection of vegan cheeses as an entrée, which were all really good.

The selection of vegan pizza is huge. I couldn't decide what to take, but the server recommended the pizza "Regina" with homemade mozzarella, vegan ham and basil. It was absolutely amazing!
My girlfriend had a calzone and was amazed by how good the homemade ricotta was.

For dessert we had a tiramisu, which was also amazing.

The staff was friendly, and fluent in English as well.

The prices are cheaper than in Berlin, where I'm from, while the food is better.

5/5 ⭐

Pros: Taste, Huge selection, Friendly staff

Cons: The music was a bit too loud for my liking

Not Quite The Eden I Hoped For

There is no denying that this place has an extensive menu, to point that it took me a good while to navigate my way through it, but this isn’t always a good thing. Let me start on a positive note, the wine was good and the carbonara was an excellent little dish. Now for the not so positive. The cheese plate was severely lacking in its main constituent element, the cheese, and the focaccia wasn’t a focaccia, more a passable garlic bread and the pizza was such a creation that I am sure that it has live Italians prematurely spinning in their graves. I ordered the option that it said came with faux chicken, sweet potato and a BBQ base with a stuffed crust, which all sounded pleasant enough. When it arrived, it was a sparsely topped affair with a few sweet potato fries dumped on top of cheese slices and a very questionable BBQ sauce/tomato ketchup drizzled on it. I will concede that the dough was pretty good.
The most damning indictment on my meal is that even though the desserts looked impressive, I felt I would be aggrieved to spend any more money here given the cost and quality of what I had already had as well as the inconsistent service. Not the finest placed I’ve visited and I won’t be looking to repeat the experience.

The hugest vegan menu I’ve ever seen

Wide selection of drinks and cocktails, and an even wider selection of food and seasonal specials: wow! Staff were great and food was fast and tasty. The calamarata pasta I had wasn’t great, the carbonara was so much better! Some things on the menu they were out of also. The Stromboli pizza roll with vegan ricotta was amazing! Have to come back and try and conquer their lengthy pizza menu! Also had the pistachio tiramisu to go: amazing!

Updated from previous review on 2024-07-26

Pros: Very wide selection, Fresh, Different

Cons: Some stuff had ran out, Maybe too much choice?
