L'avis du Guide Michelin
Still within Italy but just a stone’s throw from the French border, this restaurant boasts a splendid terrace overlooking the Côte d’Azur, with views stretching from Menton’s picturesque old town to Cap Martin. During the high season, advance reservations are essential for one of the much-coveted outdoor tables; otherwise, guests are welcomed into an elegant dining room indoors. While the setting recalls the neighboring French Riviera, the cuisine by talented chef Enrico Marmo is firmly rooted in Liguria. He highlights local excellence with intelligence – from the renowned Pigna beans to Sanremo red shrimp – reworking Ligurian traditions with refined technique and a personal touch, often expressing a theme through multiple creative variations. The experience is further enhanced by passionate wine pairings from the sommelier. Among the must-try dishes, honoring the history of the restaurant founded in 1982, are the iconic Ravioli della Pina and the classic Ligurian-style rabbit. Between the views, the cooking, and the atmosphere, a meal here is nothing short of unforgettable.
