One of the most incredible restaurant experiences I have ever had! I called at least 7 times in the…read moreearly evening to get a reservation. Nobody picked up. I just got an answering machine telling me that the restaurant was open. So the family and I drove 20 minutes from our rented home up a winding road only to arrive and be told that the chef had left an hour and 15 minutes before closing time because there were not enough guests! When we asked why nobody picked up the phone when we called, the answer was that we were calling from a Romanian mobile phone so they decided not to answer. Incredible! As if that were not enough, as we were driving away to another restaurant that did not send their chef home early, the owner of the restaurant called and started shouting and swearing because we had gotten into a heated discussion with one of the restaurant employees (who happened to be his son) explaining how wrong and unprofessional it was not to answer the phone simply because someone was calling from a foreign mobile phone number. Suffice to say, you can safely avoid this restaurant and choose one of the other options in this area.

Located in a small Italian Riviera town of Ventimiglia, Consani Ostaria is the top destination of…read morehungry locals and tourists from neighboring Montecarlo, Monaco, Genoa, and even Nice, France. It is away from the tourist trap areas and hidden in a small alley by the local theater. The restaurant is rather small and featuring one family style bench and 3 small tables. The walls are lined up with boxes and crates of Italian wine. The food choices are small, homemade, and very delicious! The price is well under the usual local's fare. Every thing is €10 or under!! Their specialities are the rabbit, broccoli soup, pasta con pancetta and believe it or not -- chicken finger and fries. We ordered the first three mentioned as recommended and we're not disappointed! The rabbit is tender, the side bake potato is very tasty. Prepare to fight and disown your loved one over the broccoli soup and the fried cheese. And finally the pasta, mixed lightly with Parmesan and pancetta bits deserves two thumbs up!! All these with a bottle of mineral water comes out to €25! This is among the best meals we ate in the Riviera and the lowest price!

Not a place most tourists will find and that's a real shame as it's a great example of traditional…read moreFrench cuisine in a great setting and with reasonable prices. Located in the old walled city of Grasse it's a short distance from the parfumeries that tourists both French and international love to visit. It's best to park at one of the three nearby parking lots and walk through the windy narrow streets to this restaurant tucked away in the former store rooms of a building. There are the amazing arched brick and stone ceilings and there is a nice cover patio in front perfect for relaxing and enjoy the Cote d'Azur weather. It's the kind of place Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware go to get inspiration. Very Provinciale. Specializing in cuisine traditionalle there is a nice selection of a la carte starters, mains and desserts as well as two 3 course prix fixe menu for 36 and 26 euro both with many choice for each course. The portions are larger than at most restaurants in France. There are equal selections with seafood and meat and even vegetarian main dishes, not always something easy to find in France. The starter were huge with my salad being loaded with lardons as well a cured duck and the warm goat cheese salad the French spouse was just the way it should be she said and since she grew up in Grasse I'll take her word for it. The mains were equally good with a lamb confit cooked en papillote in filo dough wrapping, served with potatoes gratin and a celery root and parsnip root mash. The French Spouse had a more regional dish which is a seafood stuffed with fish in a tomato broth, it was served with rice and the parnip and celery root mash. The dessert were huge and tasty. One was chocolate mousse cake with a base of Genoise layer with super light but still rich and chocolatey cake with more creme on top and served with a cup of warm chocolate sauce to pour over it. The French Spouse's lemon crepe was full of tangy lemon curd and served with a shot of kir. The place is filled with locals wanting an upscale but comfortable meal. There is a lunch time prix fixe for 13 euro. The dinner menu ranges from 6 to 20 euros per plate and has to the two prix fixe.

It happened to be happy hour so I was able to take advantage of some great drink deals. For my dinner, I ordered the duck with vegetables, potatoes, and added a side of ratatouille. It was all very good and the portions were large for the price. The orange sauce was unique and it seemed to have orange peels in it as well. While this might be more of a touristy spot with this location, it was a true French menu, which was my goal. The food and service were very good and I'll come back.

Quality/Quantity - My wife gave this place 4 stars. She got…read moreanother chicken dish, see pictures. Maybe not fair for them, but on our previous night, the previous chicken dinner was 5 stars for her. I got the beef stew over gnocchi. Not bad, but even for a light eater, it was NOT enough food for me?!?! Got a glass of Bordeaux which was good, until I noticed the locals got twice as generous of a pour?!? The second time I noticed this while dining out... Happy for them, but to see the inconsistency affects me... Ambiance - Small local business/restaurant. Prime tourist location/area. Plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. One unisex toilet. Service - Welcoming. Made online reservations, but because we are NOT tech savvy, it booked the wrong time. So since we were in the area, we just walked by and asked them to change the time and had no problems. Price - 49 Euros, $57 USD. Expensive for what we got IMO. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success.
