La Trattoria

La Trattoria is an Italian restaurant imagined by Alain Ducasse and located within the Sporting complex on Avenue Princesse Grace, offering a seasonal dining experience that combines the warmth of Tuscan trattoria cooking with the spectacular setting of the Monaco seafront. The restaurant operates in the summer months, making it one of the Principality s great warm-weather addresses, with a terrace that faces directly out to sea and allows guests to dine in the open air as the sun goes down over the Mediterranean. The menu reflects the generosity and directness of Italian country cooking, with fresh pasta, grilled fish and meat, and market vegetables prepared simply to allow quality ingredients to speak for themselves. The proximity to Italy and the relationships Ducasse s team has cultivated with producers across the peninsula are evident in the quality of what reaches the plate. Inside, the restaurant has the relaxed feel of a well-loved family trattoria transplanted to extraordinary surroundings, with the informality of the cooking style setting it apart from the more ceremonial dining that defines some of Monaco s other Ducasse addresses. Reservations are strongly advised during the peak summer season.
