Côte d'Azur is a little gem! This little bistro has the best French food in town hands down. Have lived here 22 years and use to go to Blue Provence downtown Naples. While Blue Provence has a great location & beautiful setting, the food quality has taken an incredible nose dive in the last 8 years. Côte d'Azur has always maintained their commitment to great food, great service, and the ambiance is nice. Especially on the outside where they have obscured the view of the parking lot. Once we all started eating didn't even notice we were in a strip mall! The duck entree and foiegras appetizer are wonderful and my go to! When your in the mood for French food in Naples you can't go wrong at this place

Our waiter was arrogant and jerky and forgot two different drink orders. Said they were basically out of most all white wines. Then offered white near end. The restaurant is literally next to Publix so if they were out of wine, they could've walked next-door and bought it. Will not be back.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Naples! Located on the corner of 41 & Immokalee Rd in The Publix strip mall. The restaurant was packed inside but we really enjoyed our outside seating. The Burrata appetizer was delicious and the Crispy duck was the best I ever had! Don't hesitate try this restaurant! Staff was outstanding as well!

Excellent French restaurants featuring the cuisine of, or inspired by, Provence and the Côte d’Azur. I enjoyed the Cassolette d’escargots, a different way to serve this classic. The crispy duck was outstanding. The French bread was too good.The booths are very nice for conversation, as otherwise the noise level can get quite load inside.
We had another wonderful meal at Côte d'Azur last night. I do love the table settings and the fact that they have fleur del sel on the table. I consider the quality of the bread an important part of any meal out, and this restaurant hits it out of the part. Ciabatta bread, warm from the oven, is served with a combination of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, herbs and parm. The escargot are the best I've had anywhere! I probably consumed an entire loaf of bread dunking it in the garlic, basil, parsley butter. I would also recommend the beet salad with strawberries, figs, and ricotta salata. For my main dish I once again had the Roasted Duck with a port wine sauce. It was super crispy and served with a glazed boc pear, cranberry apple chutney and an amazing puree of butternut squash and sweet potato. Again I must say the best duck I have ever had. I can also recommend the Steak Au Poivre and the Rack of Lamb. The lemon tart is my first choice for dessert, followed by the profiterole. Service is friendly without being cloying.

Dined with another couple last night. They formerly lived in Naples and one of their favorite places was Cote D'Azur. Of course, they wanted to eat here again. We had read about the new ownership and all 4 of us wanted to check it out. We were not disappointed.The other couple split the Dover Sole entree, which they enjoyed. Even split, it was a nice portion for each.My hubby had the veal tenderloin. He said the flavor was great, both the veal and the mushroom combo. (I tasted the morels... they were wonderful!) He said, though, that it was a 4 star for him as he expected the veal to be much more tender.I had the Loup De Mer Monegasque. (Only pic I could take without being obtrusive). It was a 5 star meal for me! The fish (Mediterranean Sea Bass/Branzino) was perfectly cooked. But the compote & sauce that topped it was, literally, one of the most delicious I've ever tasted. I'm Italian, and this topping was reminiscent of a caponata, minus the eggplant & celery. But the addition of the sweet raisins, sauteed along with the nicoise olives, baby tomatoes, capers, shallots, basil and even bay leaves in the Sauvignon Blanc sauce, made it extraordinary. I would say it's my second favorite fish meal ever! Only behind the Low Country Crispy Flounder with Apricot Sauce at Anson's in Charleston.Would like to see a more intimate setting in the decor/lighting, which could be updated a bit. Kind of crowded when sitting in the middle section. However, it certainly didn't overshadow my wonderful meal.

This was the most delicious meal I have ever had any where in Naples our waiter was so well informed on the food and wines and champagne. I look forward to going back and our friends agreed.

We were pleasantly surprised to find such a gem!! Our waiter, Oscar, was spot on recommendations, attentive & pleasant. Bus girls & men were great as well. I highly recommend this restaurant!!
We went to Cote D'Azur for my birthday dinner and it was a great choice. The decor is charming and our waiter was helpful and attentive without being intrusive. The food was fantastic - the filet mignon was one of the best I've had. Also, loved the endive salad and chocolate mousse. Highly recommend!

We went to this restaurant to see Kevin and listen to his playing of French classics. We had a beautiful meal on the patio. It was very busy but plenty of room. The service was excellent and plenty of staff, which is amazing in this day and age. I had escargot with a delicious purée that was delicious and different from the regular garlic butter, although i love that as well. The next treat was the seared foie that was amazing. So beautifully presented. See picture. Absolutely delicious. The duck for my main entrée was delicious. Crispy skin and delicious sides. We sat on the patio to listen to the music but the inside dining was lovely . The decor nice. Lots of parking as it is in a strip mall. A little noisy on the patio as it is just off 41 but nice seating and plenty of it. Be prepared as it is pricey, but delicious and good for special occasions. I might have overdone it as i had two pricey dishes. I had the escargot, seared foie, and the duck. So more than enough. Took half the duck home and enjoyed it the next day with some of my home made blackberry compote, to enhance the cranberry compote they had, which was delicious. So a lovely meal all around. Enjoy!

First time diners. Great location and very cute French counrty atmosphere. Long time well respected establishment. Knowledgeable gentlemen server made our experience the best. Great menu especially for seafood lovers. Dover Sole special was some of the best as was the filet of beef. Highly recommend the marinated artichokes for an appetizer and be sure to save room for their dessert selections. Small and well kept with outside dining available too. We will return.

Another excellent meal at Cote D'Azur. Loup de mere and lamb chops are two of our favorites. Always a good meal and friendly service. Easy parking. One of the best French restaurants in Naples.

Food was AMAZING! Being seated was extremely awkward. The restaurant floor plan is small and very tight. (Think a cafe in Paris) The man who seated us wasn't aware of his available tables and even though we had reservations, he left us standing uncomfortably at the entrance while he fumbled around walking back and forth. For the person that is the first impression of the restaurant, he was quite unapologetically ungraceful. Could have been handled much more smoothly.
