Nizza

Dana's Llc was founded in 2001. Dana's Llc specializes in Retail - French Restaurant.

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

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...

The interplay of culinary influences in the food of the French and Italian Rivieras provides a starting point for the Nizza Experience.

Nizza, after all, is what the Italians call the French city of Nice, which still boasts a wealth of tradition from the days when it lay within the borders of Italy.
