    Outstanding Italian cuisine in Antibes with incredible ambiance that is a favorite of the Cannes…read moreFilm Festival crowd--Robert DeNiro, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Bono dined here the previous week. Came here upon the recommendation from a friend and had a most enjoyable meal. I came here during the Festival and though I would have preferred to dine indoors the restaurant created a special canopy outdoors with chandeliers and soft music. Our group started off with a delicious butter lettuce salad followed by the main course (2 of us ordered the veal Milanese, the other ordered a veal chop), accompanied with spaghetti pomodoro and a bottle of Tomassi Amarone. Everything was outstanding. For dessert we ordered a chocolate mousse topped with chopped hazelnut. The owner, Michelangelo, stopped by the table to greet us and in return my friend gifted him a $140 Cohiba cigar. The same friend enjoyed his meal so much that he came back again the following evening. For what we ate along with the caliber of food the price was reasonable. Turns out the owner's son has a Mamo in Brickell (Miami) that I am a huge fan of as well.

    Humiliating experience. I would never return, and I would not recommend anyone come here…read more We went out to celebrate a special moment and spontaneously decided to stay at MAMO after being offered a table. We ordered a pizza and an appetizer because we simply weren't very hungry. At no point before being seated or ordering were we informed that there was a requirement for each person to order a main course. Only as our pizza arrived were we suddenly told that a main course per person was mandatory. When we explained that nobody had informed us of this policy, the waiter responded that this was "a restaurant" and that they never thought they would need to explain something like this to their public. The way this was said made us feel looked down upon, as though we somehow weren't the type of clientele who belonged there. Instead of handling the misunderstanding professionally, our food was taken away, the waiter raised his voice at us in front of other diners, and we were ultimately escorted out. We left almost in tears while other customers watched. What was supposed to be a special evening ended with us feeling completely humiliated. If MAMO requires every guest to order a main course, customers should be clearly informed BEFORE being seated or ordering. Had we known, we simply would have gone somewhere else. The issue was never the existence of the policy--it was that, in our experience, it wasn't communicated beforehand and the situation was then handled in an unnecessarily humiliating way. I have eaten in countless luxury restaurants and have never experienced treatment like this. Hospitality should never mean making guests feel inferior or unwelcome. We have formally reported what happened to the appropriate French consumer-protection service. Based on our experience, I would never return and would not recommend MAMO Michelangelo to anyone.
