This is the BEST Italian food I have ever had in my LIFE. Yes, the best Italian food can be found…read morein St. Roch's square, in Montpellier, France. I literally travelled Italy for three weeks and nothing came close to the incredible cuisine here. Try the pizza, try the pasta, whatever you do, try something. They take reservations and even if you don't have one, you can try to get on a waiting list. It's well worth it. Another tip is to come for lunch. For dessert, order the cafe gourmand, which is coffee and a few miniature desserts curated by the chef. You can also sit at the chef's table and watch everyone cook! Fun fact, this restaurant is named after St. Roch (Rocco, in Italian), Montpellier's patron saint. He has a very interesting story, definitely look him up if you're in town.

Initially there was no seat available and they offered one in 30min so we came back and SO glad we did! Full of friendly and happy locals so you know it's delicious. I had one of their home made bolognese pastas and my husband the pizza, both perfect. Excellent price and portions. We are coming back tomorrow, our last day!

What was shocking was the snarkiness and rudeness of her reply. Explaining we should have know that before we sat down but really there were no signs. So we paid our bill and left. As did the table of two right beside us for the very same reason. I do understand it's the rule of restaurant and that is not my issue. It's the absolute rudeness and dismissiveness of the proprietress that earned the 2 stars.

I had the special Polenta dish to start and an delicious risotto for my main. My sister had his homemade Tagliatelle with Provincial mushrooms. His menu changes daily with fresh ingredients from the market. Everything was just delicious. The ambiance of the place is magical with a garden like setting and delightful candle-light. Cant wait to come back.

Avoid this place. We had dinner here with four people and it was a complete disappointment. The…read morepizzas are outrageously overpriced and taste like watered‑down cardboard. Every tiny supplement is charged separately, even though the base price is already absurd. The pasta bolognese was a joke -- dry, bland, and absolutely not worth the €23 they dare to ask for it. The wine was extremely basic, yet they charge €22 for a simple carafe. Service was unfriendly and uninterested. We clearly said we weren't satisfied, and they didn't even bother to ask why. The only thing that seems to matter here is putting something on a plate and cashing in. Never again.

I cant talk about their salad or meat dishes cuz I haven't tried. But we ordered linguini alla puttanesca and my wife ordered the linguini a la vongole (white sauce). They come served in a hot copper pan or skillet and pasta is piping hot. They serve generously as an Italian home would. Now, the pasta is kinda still cooking in the pan but is perfectly al dente. The flavor of both dishes simply great, my puttanesca was among the best i have tried, and the vongole is second to none. The staff and owners are all from Italy and Chef Antonio can cook its pastas!!

But wait, things go sideways quickly and you learn that they only serve piadinas, in the US those are essentially paninis. Wait, what ?! BUT wait, yes, and please don't leave. Please, please don't leave. For you are in for a treat. These piadinas aren't made with just any ol' ingredients. Inferior ones they are not. While chef Luisa prepares dishes in the kitchen, her husband illuminates all you need to know and more about what you are about to experience. All of the meats and some of the cheeses and produce come from a special region in eastern Italy south of Venice. They used to have a restaurant there and know all of the farms well. You can select what you want for your piadina but why not leave that decision to them. That's what I did and it was excellent. Of course, they have a good selection of wines. They are artistes gourmands ! They also have beer and a grape juice for kids which is made from grapes of one of the wineries where they get their wine. They have a light cheese course afterward and then dessert followed by coffee. Bien sûr ! Nous sommes à France ! So see, this is why you needed to wait and read this review in its entirety. Now, you must go and learn all of this for yourself! And don't forget to mention that the little American with the braid down her back sipping on the homemade grape juice reserved for children sent you.
