    It is definitely one of the best restaurants. Not only foods but also staff are very nice and even funny. Our kids were happy with Stefano, Chef service. Strongly recommend if you visit Monaco or pass this region.

    This was the highlight of our trip to Monaco. The service was impeccable, the food was delightful and above all the tiramisu was to die for!!! The perfect off the beaten path place for those that want great food and service.

    This restaurant is wonderful and Stefano is as good as gets as a chef and host. He made my family feel so welcome and we can’t wait to return on our next visit to the Monaco area. If I could give 6 stars, I would.

    This place is a must-visit when traveling in/around Monaco! Stefano treated my wife and I like family the moment we entered. The food was fantastic (I had the ravioli bolognese, my wife has the spaghetti carbonara, we split the focaccia fromage). Highly, highly recommend stopping in for great food and a good time!

    Amazing restaurant in Monaco. We went for lunch and would highly recommend. I had the special pistachio ravioli and my boyfriend had bolognese, finished off with the tiramisu (so good!) and all washed down with a very well made Aperol Spritz. Service was fantastic and the owner made sure to check on us regularly. Very friendly family run place, you must go if in Monaco!

    We had a wonderful lunch at Il Fornaio. It is a small restaurant and the owner/chef waited on us. He was very friendly and helpful, and the food was wonderful! I highly recommend eating here if you are in Monte Carlo.

    Fantastic "pearl", nestled in behind Monacos "high life". Excellent cooking and very "home made feeling". Service nice and personal. Chef Stefano greets you after lunch for that extra personal touch.

    Loved the food and the service. The owner and chef would walk around to all the customers and chat with them. He was extremely nice and even gave us a map and locations to visit when in Monaco. Would highly recommend

    Stefano provided me with an amazing lunch experience. He welcomed me to restaurant warmly and made me feel like I was dining with a friend. The atmosphere at the restaurant was superb! Of course, the food was outstanding as well. I had Truffle Ravioli with a glass of rosé. I wish I could've stayed longer for dessert! I will definitely be returning the next time I'm in the area.

    An excellent local place. Great owners, home style Italian food and the best tiramisu I have had in the south of France. A very chilled place to have some quality pasta and coffee on a sunny day. Merci!
