Zucca means pumpkin and the place is decorated with pumpkins of every shape and size. Apparently this is one of the symbols of Nice. Owner Marco Folicardi was a successful vegetarian chef and TV personality in Rome before setting up in Nice.
His restaurant, near the Old Port, is tiny, with only 18 tables. The menu is basically Italian, but original for all that. Ravioli might be served open, like an open-faced sandwich on a sliceof fine pasta. The “meatballs” are made of goat cheese and eggplant. The menu changes regularly, depending upon that day’s market.
If I had anyproblem it’s that I always find staff in vegetarian restaurants either cranky or bossy. Signor Folicardi’s charming staff is anything but cranky. But don’t be surprised if you end up eating what they think you should order.
