Le Vesuvio · Restaurant · Cannes
The Croisette's celebrity Italian institution, open late since 1969.
Le Vesuvio is the Croisette's Italian institution, a family-run fixture at 68 Boulevard de la Croisette that has been feeding Cannes, and its celebrity and film crowd, since 1969. It is the town's answer to a specific need: the glamorous, unfussy late dinner, on the seafront, that serves when most Cannes kitchens have long closed.
The setting is a white-tablecloth terrace under olive trees looking across the boulevard to the beach and palms, backed by a classic trattoria interior of warm wood, orange banquettes and the restaurant's distinctive stained-glass sun motif. Executive chef Dominique Calcerano, who joined in 2019, keeps the menu a proper family Italian: wood-fired pizza is the draw, alongside osso bucco, escalope milanaise, a Nice-squash risotto, scallop carpaccio with Menton cit
