Editorial Review for Nizza – by Jane Lerner
In Short
The trip from Marseille to Nice ("Nizza" to the Italians) is about 100 miles. But in the Theater District, it's only about 20 feet--Nizza's chef Andy D'Amico does double duty at Marseilles just down the block. The golden-tinged dining room buzzes early with Broadway tourists and late-night with theater pros who munch on earthy Ligurian specialties such as socca (a naan-like chickpea pancake) and tomaxelle (veal stuffed with chard). Interesting interpretations of pizzas, pastas and salads round out the menu of Mediterranean snacks.

What to DrinkMore than 100 wines focus on France and Italy with trips further afield to balance the strong flavors of the food.

I can't tell you how overjoyed my husband and I and all our friends are to have Nizza in the neighborhood. The food is absolutely fantastic- especially the lasagna pesto, branzino fillet, bibb salad, socca (a chickpea pancake thing), and the teleggio-fig panino. Anyone who says this food isn't incredible is out of their minds. The fact that we can eat so well and so inexpensively in a gorgeous, hip room has made us stay in the neighborhood to eat when we normally would head downtown. We love that it's open til 2 am most nights- it's so nice to not feel rushed when we eat after a show. And it's the best spot to meet friends and share food- I've already been to 3 birthday dinners there. The staff is great- polite and fast but not intrusive. And do yourself a favor and try the brunch- it's the best and most interesting in HK. Long live Nizza!
Pros: Delicious food, great space, late hours
Cons: No delivery yet!

I live a few blocks from this restaurant and come here at least once a month. It's not really authentic italian food, it's got a bit of french fusion. It's a trendy place, esp for hell's kitchen and a great place for a first date because it's a nice place and the menu is priced right as well as the wine. Everything i've had here has been great, I forgot the name but I always get this spinach ravioli which is great if you like cheesy sauce. The steak is absolutely delicious and so tasty. I've only had the Bree cheese for dessert and it was fantastic, the warm raisin bread that comes with the cheese is really good!
Pros: trendy, tasty food, great prices
Cons: you haven't been there yet!
