As of July 2025, Restaurant Acchiardo, a beloved family-owned eatery in the heart of Nice, France, has been serving traditional Niçoise dishes for nearly a century. The stone-walled restaurant, which opened in 1927, is currently run by the fourth generation of the Acchiardo family.
Virginie Acchiardo, the current chef, recalls cherishing the aromatic feasts that enveloped her senses every morning as a child. She learned the restaurant's recipes from her father, who was part of the third generation to run the business. Virginie's great-grandmother, Madalin, had opened the restaurant after her husband's passing in 1920, and the family has maintained the establishment's authentic flavors and traditions ever since.
In 2027, Restaurant Acchiardo will celebrate its centennial, continuing a legacy of passion and culinary heritage. Virginie, who co-owns and operates the restaurant with her brothers, is proud to still be making the same recipes from almost 100 years ago. The Acchiardo family's commitment to their roots and the local community has made their restaurant a beloved institution in Nice.
