Where to eat fresh pasta on the French Riviera

TJBy the Timenjoy newsroom · Updated October 2026

Pasta made on the premises is not the rule here, close as the Italian border is. The four places on this page make their own: bronze-extruded pasta near the port in Nice, more than twenty shapes over the counter in Monaco, gnocchi and paccheri in Cannes.

They sit across three towns, from Nice to Monaco, and two of them are next door to a market: the Forville in Cannes, the Condamine in Monaco.

Every place in this guide was filmed. Our visits on video and the new openings we test first are on Instagram.
