This isn't five-star fine dining in Monaco. It's an easy place to go with kids, where a family of four can get a decent meal for less than 100.
There's no sidewalk seating or views. While the pictures show a warmly lit, cute place, the truth is that the interior is a harshly lit, garishly decorated place with paper napkins and plastic bottles of water. There's a large mural of a hot pepper volcano that dominates the main wall of the interior of the restaurant and a shrink-wrap picture of the Monaco coast along the back wall of the restaurant. I'd expect more from a restaurant with such high marks. Some wainscoting, subway tile, marble and dimmer, warmer light would go a long way.
The food is fine but not memorable. My gnocchi was overcooked, creating a paste with the underseasoned tomato sauce. My wife's ravioli was better, but again, not great. My son had penne arrabiata, which was our best entree by far. It was, however, not made from fresh pasta and had far too much olive oil.
