Gusto & Sapori del Vicoletto

My wife and I found Gusto Sapori del Vicoletto by chance. It was our first night in Menton. We were famished by also exhausted from a long day of travel. I asked my wife to find someplace nearby that sounded both good and not too expensive. Voila. Gusto Sapori. Situated just off one of Menton's main thoroughfares, the location is both quiet and convenient, without the noise or activity of the the more touristy part of town a quarter mile East. The service is friendly and Giacomo, the manager (I think), speaks English and French along with Italian so that diners can ask questions if need be and get informative answers. We saw a number of Italians during our four separate occasions there, alon...

This place is tucked away in a quiet laneway in Menton and has a mix of locals and tourist customers. I had the linguine alle vengole (pasta with pippies and it was just as it should be. Simple, fresh and full of flavour. My partner had the gnocchi alle sorrentina and it was just as mamma used to make. This is your classic Italian neighbourhood trattoria. The staff were lovely and very accommodating. They even understood our schoolboy French and Italian when ordering (or maybe they were being polite! . The prices were very reasonable too. We’ll be back next time in Mentone

This appeared to be one of those little traditional restaurants, loved by all, offering a good value €20 menu...Not this time unfortunately!! Very basic choice for the €20, salad was good to start, pasta dishes to follow were extremely basic, really basic! Ie spaghetti and olive oil with chilli! (About €5 worth), or the gnocchi in a sauce 3 ways, OK but really not worth the money. Much better value elsewhere! Appreciate the staff were concerned and the chef came out to justify the dishes, but it was just expensive for a very cheap dish! And still charged us full price.....

This was a favourite little corner of Italy, a friendly traditional family style restaurant with excellent pasta dishes and good pizzas etc. It seems to have changed hands and oversized wine glasses, dishes served on slates and clipboard style menues have been an excuse to increase prices and offer special dishes. Service is non too friendly and there are so many restaurants in this town serving similar food. It has lost its unique selling point. A pity.
