Pasta, Pizza, Mozzarella, Saltimboca, Tiramisu, ... In their names, Italian cuisine takes us on a journey, and this journey continues on our plate, delighting our taste buds. In Nantes, there are many Italian restaurants, whether they offer only pizzas or other classics of Italian cuisine. Le Bonbon takes you on a little trip through the streets of Nantes to discover a selection of Italian restaurants.
Caffé Luigi: Italy in the heart of the Bouffay district
Whether on its large terrace or in one of its two rooms, Caffé Luigi is the gourmet address that will transport you to Italy, without leaving the Bouffay district. One of the rooms has a lounge atmosphere with its club armchairs, and the other is typically Italian. La Dolce Vita in Nantes!
We recommend trying: The delicious antipasti for the aperitivo. Bowls of fried calamari, prawn fritters, a charcuterie platter, accompanied by a Prosecco or a Spritz. The squid ink pasta or one of the many pizzas from the house.
