Marion & Pierre-Nicolas

“We wanted a space that looked like us, a warm place to live in, where exchange and human contact would set the tone. Italy was obvious: a country we adore, where the food is tasty and affordable, and that is what we wanted to share through a large restaurant in the very heart of Nice.”

“Our ambition: to bring to life the experience of an authentic trattoria with home-made, accessible cooking, based on delicious Italian produce, in a delightful and convivial setting.”

Ivano La Corte

Originally from Piedmont, this chef first worked in Italy at the Trattoria del Bivio, where he learned everything. He then cut his teeth in a Michelin-starred restaurant before becoming a consultant and trainer at the French School of Pizzaioli.

For him, cooking is an art made of passion and love. Gastronomy tells of a journey, a story, the culture of a country. That is the soul he breathes into the dishes at Casa Leya, drawing on the recipes and gestures of his great-grandmother, “la grande nonna”…
