26€ cocktail with two FLIES in. Reason given: “because fruits are too fresh, that’s why there are flies inside”. No compliment given, just replaced cocktail. Won’t come back.
The restaurant’s reply here adds to what I said. They want to mean I’m lying. Well, I have part of that video with the drink. Too bad I didn’t film it all because I didn’t want to hurt the restaurant reputation. Unfortunately I understood the “quality” of your service already after the cocktail was taken away and replaced. And, the restaurant, if you want more details, write to me. I like your own reply, I am not hiding anything and am not accusing anyone falsely. The incident was on August 6 in the evening. Attached is the photo of the waiter.

Nice restaurant with decent prices and quite fast service.
Pizza starts from 14 euro, and the portion is large.
They have indoor seating with AC which is amazing in hot August.

The food was delicious and the proportions were perfect. We started with a great salad and then got two pastas both of which were fantastic. The staff were very polite and even though we didn't have a reservation they found us a table to sit. So you must make a reservation if you choose Il Terrazzino to eat. We also got the caramel Panna cotta and it was really great. I totally recommend this restaurant and I will 100% come back when I visit monte carlo again!!!
Well, not bad not good. Just 3/5 restaurant. It doesn’t have anything common with original (from Napoli) Italian pizza, trust me. If you order pizza, chilli oil is free to use.
We travelled to Monaco from Canada. We had the BEST experience eating at La Piazza. The food (pasta dishes and tiramisu) were some of the best I have ever had. Our server Alain was one of the kindest people we have met on our trip! We would come visit Monaco again to eat here. 10/10 all around!
Food was super salty. Got the Parmesan eggplant and vongole which was real salty and the ravioli was ok. Overall food was quite average. Service was fast and vibe was ok. Got there at 7pm and no one, but when we left at 8pm there were ppl waiting outside
Everything was just perfect. Came here by chance and was so impressed by the staff, the locale, the service and the level of cooking. My vongole was top notch (top 5 I’ve had) and immediately sent me back to the italian countryside. Solid wine list, and a charming service from every member of the staff. And limoncello to round off the evening - that’s just perfection. Grazie mille!
This is a very nice restaurant near the port of Monaco with excellent pizza and great cocktails. I highly recommend it if you are in Monaco.
The truffle pasta was amazing and so was the aperol spritz and the pasta ragu. There is absolutely nothing negative to say about this restaurant!
We attended the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix. After the race on Sunday, the plan was to meet at Bella Vita. We didn't realize how near it was to the the Formia 1 paddocks.
We had reservations, but due to the street closures for to the race, half of our party were running late to arrive. Carlos had our table ready and seated the half that was already there in spite of a long line of waiting customers.
The other half of our party finally gave up. We gave up half of our table and the rest of us ordered and ate.
The location is immediately across from the Formula 1 Paddock and packed with race-related vendors. By the time we finished eating, the Paddock was open and we walked back to the hotel that way.

Terrible service. We waited 5 minutes to be seated and no body approached us so we decided to have a seat in any table. No one gave us the menu too until I asked after 10 minutes. The food was good. The staff didn’t seem nice or welcoming at all.
Food is not bad, great service and view. We were a bit of a hurry when we realized our train back to France was leaving soon. Had the risotto with sea scallops and my boyfriend had the pizza.
Amazing food, we had the handmade ravioli. It was delicious. Service was a little slow but okay.
Very good Italian fare. We went there for lunch and had a wonderful meal. Small restaurant, but we had 12 and had no problems. Food all cane out at the same time. Food was great. Perfect place for lunch.
Beautiful, traditional Italian restaurant.
Authentic.
Delicious.
Perfect.
And the best: fair prices! Most of the time one dish costs between 20€-30€.
Thanks for this nice evening!

A nice place with good price. I did not expect to have a good lunch with fair price in Monaco.
We order the pasta with seafood and fish of the day (sea bream), with mixed veggies as a side. Both main dishes were quite good - the pasta quite al dente and fish fresh, succulent, and aromatic.

Very nice and friendly, perfect for an Italian evening, moderate pricing👍
We allways eat there during the Monaco Historic Grand Prix 🏁

Makes you feel the air of Naples, as an Italian I really appreciated it. The food is amazing and the staff is very kind, if you happen to be in Monaco you can't miss it.
We had 3 pastas and all were fresh and flavorful and the affogato heavenly + great service by @Dario - all at reasonable price in Monaco 😉!
Such a nice place! The food was delicious.
I recommend!

I came with my partner for his birthday. The pasta Reda was undercooked if you look in the picture you can tell by how yellow it is and the tartar was appalling. No finesse just a heavy hand of raw meat no egg yolk, shallot or anything. Extremely disappointed. €53 gone to waste! Do not come here I suggest spending a bit more and crossing the road to eat something edible.
An amazing experience, one of the best restaurants in Monaco. Chef Antonio is simply the best, always striving for excellence and always super kind and attentive. All the staff are super kind and incredibly professional. Every dish and I mean we tried i think all the menu was fantastic, best and freshest ingredients do make a difference 😊 see you in April
Best meat in monaco! Amazing staff, busy atmosphere, the smell of char grilled meat is amazing! And the picanha is just unbelievable 👌🏼
My boss had been chirping and about place since before I got to down, needless to say it did not disappoint. Skewers unbelievable. Steak (rare) and fries even better. Really unmissable in Monaco 🇲🇨 . Something real special.
Excellent food and friendly staff! The Milanese and tiramisu are delicious. Also one of the best espressos in Monaco!
This was lovely authentic Italian Resturant we had great coffee , tea and Tirmasu was delicious. The staff members were polite and it was nice service. Only thing to be mindful about is if you choose to sit outside smoking is permitted here and if you don’t smoke it’s better to sit inside. I don’t smoke so I would choose to sit inside next time.
Food 1/5: low quality (especially caprese), greasy pizza, undercooked pasta (not al dente.. raw)
Service 1/5: only service was the waiter throwing down plates, bill has to be paid inside at the counter, even in cash..
Atmosphere: waiter was rude and condescending, general vibe of the place feels like a tourist trap.
Price: normal for Monaco, but considering what you get it’s an absolute rip-off, 1/5.
Currently ranked as my #1 worst restaurant in Monaco.

The staff at this restaurant exudes professionalism and warmth, making every guest feel welcomed and valued. The cuisine is exceptionally delicious, striking the perfect balance between quality and taste. What’s particularly impressive is the affordability of the experience, especially considering the caliber of this establishment. The ambiance captures the spirit of Italy beautifully, enveloping diners in an authentic and charming atmosphere. A notable aspect of our visit was the thoughtful gesture from the staff during a rain shower; they kindly provided us with an umbrella and arranged a taxi, showcasing their dedication to customer service. I highly recommend this restaurant for its outstanding combination of ambiance, cuisine, and service.
This is best dining experience I’ve had in a long period of time. We had a small dog with us and sat in the outside area.
The server was attentive and we didn’t have to wait long for our food. The escargot starter was fantastic. For the mains, we ordered the Duck Confit ‘Rampoldi’ and Rossini beef fillet accompanied with foie gras, black truffle and the mashed potatoes. The sauce was perfect. The meat cooked to perfection. We were very impressed and have already booked to come again.

Absolutely love this restaurant. Not ostentatious but just amazing meat and chips cooked on coal grills.
Highly recommend the picania steak, it's enough for two easily. It's a sharing steak. So tender and juicy

Chanced upon this gem close to the train station. The seafood pasta was delicious and flavorful - with very fresh ingredients. Tagliatelle a la Truffe was also incredibly good, but too much for me after a couple bites. Bruschetta was refreshing and tasty.
It was packed during peak lunch hour but we were able to get seats immediately because it was almost closing (closes 2PM). Seems to be quite popular among locals and tourists alike.

Burrata cheese salad is good.
Seafood pasta is okay. Pasta is freshly handmade but there were sands in the clams.
To be honest, it’s not bad but it was a big let down to ‘eat’ the sands. It’s not one but three clams……hence the 3 stars rating

We enjoyed our lunch at Rampoldi very much. The food was delicious and the staff has been very nice.
The meat was absolutely amazing. Very surprised it only gets 4.3 on google reviews! This place has great service and even better food. We had 2 different steaks, 2 sides and desserts to share.
Very good Italian restaurant. Split into 2 dining rooms across the street. Modern one has better air conditioning and historical one is very cosy. But the main actor is the one and only – the kitchen. All ordered dishes were very delicious and generous in size (minestrone and lobster pasta pictured below). Wine list is comprehensive and offers a good variety of both baby-bottles and magnums.
Strongly recommend to visit La Piazza for lunch or dinner!

I loved it very much. I liked everything overall, but most of all i loved the presentations of every dish. We went to the restaurant downstairs, for the gastronomic experience, and I was blown away. We ordered a la cartes, but everything was amazing. The butter presented as the map of Italy was mind blowing, as well as the amuse bouché which came out on interesting plates like hands, and corals. Of course the starter, pastas, and mains were amazing too. Definitely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. Finally, the chocolate which was a globe at the end, which you had to smash with a hammer to eat was such a surprise as well. I would definitely go again if I have the chance.
Great find! We were wary of stumbling upon a tourist trap. Instead, we were pleasantly surprised by very authentic Italian food. The patio looked lovely, but it was too hot so we ate inside.
Outstanding dinner in this very traditional Italian place. Easily the best truffle tagliatelle I’ve ever had. The same for my friend spaghetti.
Christian was an amazing guys and made us feel at home. The whole staff and owners were really nice to us. Fully recommend. Thank you guys for the experience, hope to come back.

We enjoyed our experience here at La Bionda! We were greeted warmly what looked to be the owner and sat us immediately. He spoke Italian, English, and fluent French and we were so impressed!
We had their famous Picante Dish (sliced steak on a griddle) with a side of cheese pasta and mixed salad! It was so so good and THE BEST steak dish we had during our trip in France! Their Cotes D’azur house red was phenomenal as well.
After we left the owner even gave us a quick hug! We felt like this was a family tan restaurant and they treated us like family. Can’t wait to go back one day. Thank you to our new friends at La Brioda!

This place is a gem 💎 the good was excellent and very reasonably priced. We all had different beef and it was all excellent. We were recommended a wine which was also really good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit.
I recently visited Rampoldi and was thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere was breathtaking and the food was exquisite; everything cooked to perfection. The menu has a great assortment of delicious dishes, with something to satisfy all tastes. The staff was also incredibly friendly and attentive, and the waitresses were extremely knowledgable about their menu. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be back very soon.
This restaurant was the first place I visited in Monaco many years ago. Today I visited again. Still very, very delicious and chic atmosphere.
Excellent service. Ate twice here once for the truffle pasta (simple et mouthwatering) and as always seafood pasta (perfect combo of fresh seafood and tomato sauce) 😋😋. Cherry on top, affordable address in Monaco and generous portions.
Unforgettable experience! Very fresh & tasty dishes, beautiful presentation, kind & charismatic personnel and very cosy ambiance! This restaurant is our favorite one In Monaco ❤️
Surprisingly good food!
We‘ve been to Italy a few days before this visit to Monaco, however the food here was order of magnitudes better here!!!
Yes, service might be a bit slow, however, this is only due to the staff being properly Italian and it shouldn’t turn you away because the food is simply out of this world!

The price of the pizza is definitely fine for the location. Very friendly service and the food came within 15 minutes. Can really recommend this place.
Not so great. We were very excited to go here based on the online menu but most of the items were not being served on the Sunday night we visited. Several of us were looking forward to the lasagna but that night it wasn't offered. The other offerings were mediocre Italian food that you could get from anywhere. The tiramisu was the only good that we ordered which raised the star rating from a 1 to a 2 star. The waitstaff are quite arrogant and put off by questions regarding ingredients and menu offerings My recommendation is to skip this tourist trap restaurant and find something else.
Great Italian restaurant, with confortable place and cozy environment. Nice pasta
Very nice ambiance and great service. We went on a quiet night. Ordered the tomato carpaccio and eggplant pasta. Both were very delicious. They also gave us bread, which was amazing. Warm and super fluffy with delicious butter.
There was also live music which made it feel very classy. I felt like I traveled back in time. The perfect Monaco meal and it wasn’t too expensive. The total meal was €80, not bad for Monaco.

The best Italian restaurant in Monaco and the area. Amazing food and atmosphere, stable quality, perfect staff, nice outside terrace. Absolute pleasure to be!
A cozy place with nice and simple Italian food. We were there twice and both times everything was delicious. We tried a tuna appetizer, spaghetti con vongoli, an octopus hot appetizer and a lobster risotto. Prices are more than reasonable. We will definitely come back when visit Monaco again.
What a great place for Italian food in Monaco. The quality is amazing and the prices are excellent (not expensive at all). We tried the lasagna, ossobuco and papardele. Pizza looks really good. Save room for dessert, tiramisu is delicious and also the chocolate cake. English, Italian, Spanish and French spoken.
Very reasonable price lunch, 15 euro for two plates and a wine! Haven’t tried the iconic dish picanha but the plates we chose are so good that everyone is so happy. Staffs are friendly and helpful, trying their best to explain the menu in English for us, which makes us feel welcomed even we are the only Asian in this small restaurant. Must be a popular place for the local as well as we are surrounded by customers who seem to be white-collared coming out for lunch break!
What a lovely hidden gem! Located in Monaco, but only few meters away from France. Delicious Italian food, very cozy and almost homely atmosphere. Super friendly and funny waiters helped us made the section and we loved each and every dish. Great experience overall, highly recommend <3
Liked the ambience and cute decor, small but intimate. They were nice to have split the appetizer salad into two 1/2 portions without us asking for it, nice service. The clams in the pasta were fresh, tasty, but the sauce was a bit on the salty greasy side. The steak was cooked just right with great mushrooms.
