In the pedestrian zone so lots of foot traffic and noise if you're dining outside. Wait staff very prompt and professional.

Favorite Dish: Has to be the paella. All the shell fish is great but the seafood & sausage paella is outstanding.

Bocaccio: Food Poisoning too

I had the same experience as Hank97, I had food poisoning too. I had the seafood pasta, the dish was huge and very tasty, if it was not for the after effects I would say the restaurant experience was great. The wait-staff and manager were very friendly.

Bocaccio: BEWARE: Horrible food poisoning!

Two things you should know about this place:
1) The portions are huge and fairly hugely priced to match. My girlfriend and I shared the seafood platter (34 euros), described by the waiter as 'not very big', and one entree (the lobster spaghetti for 45 euros) and we couldn't finish either one, there was so much food. The lady at the table next to us complained to the waiter that her entree must be meant for three people, it was so big.
2) STAY AWAY FROM THE SEAFOOD PLATTER!!! Aside from costing 34 euros and being genuinely terrible (we only finished it because we figured we'd spent so much on it already), it gave both my girlfriend and I the worst food poisoning we've ever had in our lives. We were basically incapacitated for an entire day (thank god we ate there on our last night in Nice, so we only felt the effects of the poisoning after we got back). I would NEVER go back to this place and I would caution anyone else against going there.

Bottom line: the lobster spaghetti was good (expensive and too much of it, but good), but that doesn't even come close to balancing out the horrible stomach cramps, vomiting, and...intestinal distress...that plagued both my girlfriend and I for almost two days.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT!

Favorite Dish: If I had to pick one, it would be the lobster spaghetti.

Bocaccio: Awesome fish and italian cuisine !!!

This restaurant is a must-go if you want a thrilling experience of seafood: they serve everything ie oysters, shrimps, lobsters, all sorts of fresh fishes (fished not raised!!!) and cook and accomodate them multiple ways.
Also, excellent italian dishes, and the best Paella, I've ever had.
Not a tourist trap. Great value for money!
The yacht-like decoration is relaxing and service is outstanding. This is a well run business with demanding manager on site!
