Rampoldi

Rampoldi has occupied its address on the Avenue des Spélugues since 1946, becoming over eight decades one of Monaco's most beloved dining institutions and the standard-bearer for Italian hospitality at its most refined. The restaurant attracts an international clientele seeking the reassurance of a place that has clearly demonstrated staying power, and it delivers through a combination of impeccable service, a chic and intimate atmosphere and contemporary Italian cooking that draws on the best produce of the region. The kitchen works with small-scale producers around the Italian and French Riviera, with ingredients also brought in from southern Italy to reflect the full breadth of the country's larder. Within the Rampoldi building, the private dining room La Table d'Antonio Salvatore has earned its own Michelin star, with chef Antonio Salvatore offering just five tables an experience of top-flight contemporary Italian cuisine crafted from exceptional ingredients. The main restaurant operates at a more relaxed pitch: a glass of Barolo, pasta made that morning, a plate of something grilled from the coast below. For those who want to understand what it means to eat well in Monaco at a table with genuine history, Rampoldi provides an answer that has satisfied visitors and residents for generations.
