We chose it spontaneously for location, ordered a seafood soup, lobster pasta, pepper steak and tartar. These were unspectacular in flavor but with substantial quantity so it may appeal to some. But great location and atmosphere, great desserts and wine. Would go back under the right circumstances.

My brother went to this restaurant a couple of weeks ago and recommended it. That's why we went…read morethere this evening. The restaurant is very small therefore he told us to reserve a table in advance. My sister called, but we didn't know that they're closed in the afternoon. Therefore we couldn't place a reservation. However we went there even though we couldn't reserve a table. The owner said all the tables inside were reserved (when we left we saw that not all of them were occupied and we could've sat inside). However the owner of the restaurant gave us a table outside. That was totally fine with us, because we were really hungry. We ordered appetizers, main dishes and dessert. I really can't complain about the food. It was tasty - therefore my brother was right to recommend this restaurant. However the owner/server forgot my salad. I had to tell them twice to bring me my salad. At the opposite of this restaurant there is a gelato place (literally 2 meters away) and my father wanted to order 1 scoop of ice cream from there (he would've ordered ice cream from the restaurant if they offered it, but they didn't offer amarena ice cream). We asked a server whether it would be ok if my dad would buy ice cream over there and eat it at our table while we're having our dessert. She said that she'd have to ask the owner but thinks it's ok. It wasn't. The owner came outside and said that he cannot eat it at the table. I then told her that that's not good customer service especially because she forgot my salad. Her reply was: "I forgot it because I didn't write it down". Is that my fault though? If you can't remember the order then maybe you should write it down! Additionally I told her that if she'd allow him to eat it, she'd have a chance to make up for her mistake (forgetting my salad order). She refused and said that if other people see that he's eating ice cream from another place, other people will do so too. I told her then that we wouldn't order dessert if he can't have his ice cream at the table with us. She then said ok but was very annoyed and unfriendly to us. She went inside her restaurant, came back with a glass, went to the gelato place, bought 2 scoops of ice cream, put it in the glass, gave it to my dad and asked us where we're from. Like if that would matter?! We said that were from Germany. She then said that no restaurant would allow us to do that in Germany, which is not true. Any restaurant owner anywhere in the world who values their customers will know that good food but more important good service is the key to customer satisfaction. The customer is king. It was so inappropriate to ask us where we're from and she said that in a super unfriendly way and acted annoyed. Very unprofessional and almost childish. After that she didn't even look at us anymore and also the other servers treated us in a very unfriendly way and didn't want to look at us. Very, very, very unprofessional and childish. The owners have apparently 2 more restaurants so they should know how to treat their customers. When the bill arrived we saw that they labeled my dads 2 scoops of ice cream as their "daily dessert" which was 7€. Later my dad asked in the gelato place, how much the owner of the restaurant paid for his ice cream. It was 2€. So there was a difference of 5€, which is not ok at all. Our bill was 155€ in total (for 4 people) which was ok. It was definitely not ok though to act this way, to treat us so unprofessionally and to charge us 7€ for the ice cream. We will definitely NOT come back to this place again. She did not know anything about customer service and her behavior was rude, unprofessional, inappropriate and childish. I gave 2 stars for this restaurant, because the food was good. Everything else wasn't.

They have everything from full bodied red wines, whites, rosé and Champagne. You buy the bottle in the store. If you would like to enjoy the bottle at La Grande Cave or just have a glass of the bottle, corkage is €8. The light food is well presented, is of high quality and is very individual depending on the waiter. One dish can be garnished with paprika and strawberries by one and with tomatoes by another. Interesting and authentic! You can also buy wine by the glass. They have red/white/rosé of the day for about €8 with higher quality than neighboring restaurants. The winestore/bar has about 6 small tables in a steep alley located in central Villefranche. During high season there is a calm flow of people strolling by. The environment is beautiful with a glimpse of the harbour. This is a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine before dinner. Maybe buy a bottle, have a glass of it and finish it with dinner at home or at a restaurant nearby?

Absolutely the most amazing experience in Italy and Europe as a whole. If you can find this…read morerestaurant (asking locals is better than google maps) you'll be in for a very pleasant surprise. Come hungry because the "all you can eat" family style dinner comes in about 15 courses plus dessert and wine. This is a real "Italian family" run operation. The owner, Evo is awesome. He welcomed us into his wine cellar where we chose a bottle of white wine. Since we didn't speak any Italian and he spoke no English it was quite entertaining when we went to pay him for the bottle. "Eight? Eighteen? Eighty?" We just held out our euros and trusted for him to be honest, and he was. It turns out we only paid $10 euro for a bottle of locally made white wine called "pigato". Dinner was amazing, wine was tasty but most importantly was the overall experience. If we ever come back to Italy we will certainly go here. If we don't make it back, at least evo will now be the most famous Italian chef in badalucco to ever be posted on social media! Ohhh one more thing, dinner is served late by american standards. The night we went was a Saturday and dinner started at 8 pm. It ended at 11! Dinner cost us about $60 euro for a couple, so roughly $70 usd. Pretty cheap compared to the USA !

I came here 2 nights in a row. First solo, and then with friends because I'd enjoyed it so much…read more Firstly, the atmosphere is lovely. The restaurant has a humble exterior (largely blocked by gelato customers), but once you descend the stairs into the dining area you are in a sheek, romantic, cellar. Intimately small but comfortable. The walls are lined with stone and endless wine bottles. The starters were all quite good. We had the snails, squid, and cheese plait. As a bonus, my waitress recommended an excellent wine to pair with the squid. It was spot on. My group shared the beef and tartafelle (forgive my spelling). The beef was succulent, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I had no idea what to expect with the second dish but it was delicious and I would certainly order again. The prior night, I had the bakes camembert when eating solo. The dish is exactly as described. It's tasty, but I'd recommend it for a group since eating an entire block of melted cheese solo is challenging. Last but not least, the wait staff were wonderful! We really enjoyed chatting with our 2 waitresses, who went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and our election of drinks. As a tourist, you really hope to stumble on a gem like this were the locals charm you and really guide your dining experience. If ever back in Nice, i'll certainly go again!
