    It was our first dinner here and just so comforting and cozy intimate vibe. The staff was super friendly and attentive, the food was excellently prepared, seafood was fresh, pasta on point, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

    Friendly service and delicious food! We discovered carnival on our short visit to Menton last year and wanted to try it again. So pleased it was as good as ever and just as we remembered.

    The ambiance was calm and quiet even though they are on a busy street - somehow you walk in and it is calm. The food is wonderful, not too expensive and there is plenty to eat. The service is perfect, never rushed. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    We had the sea bream which was sublime - perfectly cooked and presented.

    Lovely food, prepared with great care. Whilst Menton is brimming over with Italian restaurants, this one is genuinely special, a notch or two above all the rest. The best grilled prawns I’ve ever had.

    Exceptionally good steak ; both the entrecôte and the tagliata. The barbagiuan stater was crisp and tasty. Dessert was a nice tarte tartin. We had a good and reasonably priced Barolo wine. Service was friendly and efficient. On a wet Monday night ambiance is a challenge but the space is light and bright.

    The food was fresh, local and delicious. The service was attentive and friendly. We sat outside overlooking the piazza with other tables below, which provided a great setting.

    Pleasant trattoria style Italian spot with sheltered outdoor dining and a darker interior near the harbour. Excellent fritto misto di pesce, spectacular babà au rhum.

    Good quality seafood. Creative enough but not overwhelming. Nice welcoming server, very helpful. Loved the desserts too.

    This restaurant is charming, the cuisine is superb and the service delightful. It was a highlight of our visit to Menton. We met Parisian diners who have returned every time they visit the city and we will too!

    The price of the main course we got (7 dishes all the same) didn’t match (+40%) the one showed in the app. Asked after having paid, the owner said he didn’t update them after the covid. Main course with sea fruits terrible. Service extremely slow although we all had the same plate and the restaurant was not busy (few people). I would not recommend it.

    Mister Balsamo, I apologize that thé price of dishes you've chosen didn't match to that visible on thé Fork site. Actually after 2 years pandemia, I didn't updated our prices. Unfortunately at your arrival noone of you pointed out to the waiter thé price difference. On the other way I noticed that all dishes returned empty, except one that was half. I inform you that all our dishes are express prepared and cooked,this,as you can understand, requires necessary time. Honestly, I prefer that Client report his dissatisfaction when still present, instead of saying that it didn't matter and after write the opposite on thé website. It's just a matter of logic and coherence.

    Nice small restaurant with limited menu but fresh ingredients. We had the lobster spagetti which was delicious and the tarte tatin was very well done.

    A very intimate, no nonsense place, with professional service and a tasty kitchen. A limited card which is always a good sign ánd an extra list of Thai specialties. A cosy neighboorhood atmosphere makes it an excellent place to return to
