Why Travelers Love Casa Leya
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
When we first came, they immidiately greeted us with a smile and seated us to the table we want. As a starter, we ordered cream with truffle and it didnt last for 60 seconds on the table; we ate it all. We ordered a burrata, a truffle, and a regina leya pizza. They all tasted great. Theres many types of pizza that can suit anyone’s taste. The service is fast and the food is delicious. Also, we aren’t familiar with the wine names here so we described the type we’d like and they gave us just the type of wine we wanted, with a chance to taste it first. The people here are always smiling, kind, and caring. It has a great atmosphere. My friend and I came here completely by chance, and we were absolutely delighted; from the warm hospitality to the amazing food. The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming. Astrid and another lovely lady whose name I unfortunately don’t know made us feel so comfortable, and there were no issues with communication even though we don’t speak French. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience. Merci! We will definitely be back! Excellent service, delicious food, beautiful location. You have 2 terraces to sit to choose from, 1 inside old town street, 1 facing the ocean. Nothing, simply nothing, negative!

The food was not great. The staff was nice and the food was served pretty fast, despite the crowded evening. I will try another restaurant next time.

We had a lovely meal at Casa Leya. The salads were fresh and delicious – one with melon and prosciutto that was perfectly balanced, and another refreshing Nice salad that was equally enjoyable. The ingredients tasted very fresh and well prepared. A great spot for a light and tasty meal!
