We have been going to San Guiseppe for years and we always had excellent food and service there.
Really sorry for the original reviewer for the bad experience (I know what that is like), but he might be jumping to conclusions. If he got sick right after the meal, the food poising was unlikely to be related to that restaurant. Unless we are talking salmonella (which would have affected the whole group), food poisoning takes about 24hrs to show its effects.
As I said, we have been coming to Menton / Ventimiglia for many years. San Guiseppe is in our opinion one of the best restaurants around. The Spaghetti Frutti di Mare are divine. The only problem we have ever had is that the portions are so generous that after the primi piatti one is so full that we never really get to the main course - which is a shame, because the grilled fish is excellent. Dont know how the Italians do it...
The place is child friendly, the view is nice - only parking can be a problem, especially on fridays when the market is in Ventimiglia. During the main season and on weekends lunch time I would recommend making reservations - the restaurant is quite popular.
As for the price range: Yes, agreed, it is not cheap. But then again, nothing around the Riviera or Cote d' Azur is. Compared to other restaurants in the area we still think San Guiseppe gives you the best value for money. read more
