"This is a delightful bistró husband and wife team. The food aims high and sometimes misses but it’s a pleasure to see the attempts. Most dishes could be a bit more aggressively seasoned and a beautiful ravioli had a somewhat bitter mushroom broth. But a creative amuse bouche, homemade bread course, original dishes, and absolutely charming service mean that this is a place to keep an eye on."

"here we eat well, here we were two nights in a row, and twice we are very satisfied ociti, both with the dishes of land and with the sea. cuttle on chickpeas, brandacujun, borage ravioli, spaghetti with clams, trophies with pesto, Ligurian rabbit, fish of the day. all prepared with care and served in beautiful abundant portions. I read on the white face of the house and agree with other reviews: fresh and pleasant. two notes for the chef: 1. pasta is too much to the tooth, I like it, but I don't believe everyone. 2. the ****: why don't you take the zabaione and replace it with a honey, rosemary and lavender?"

"small restaurant in the ancient village, very welcoming environment in the only room sometimes in stone, with tables arranged in a simple and linear way (with tablecloths, nursery and pleasant Christmas decorations. courteous service and correct times (not too fast or too slow). as tribute to the chef of the good mini burgers, to follow we tried frittatine bars of janiques and artichokes, excellent fillets of lemon and thyme, a good grongo soup and equally good gnocchi with pesto and squid. well also sweet and good coffee. green passes controlled. I recommend: we had a nice Christmas lunch!"

"difficult to go to dinner with a husband who ran a restaurant and not even hear a criticism. And yet it happened! chez louis, bordering, has the charm of a past activity of father to son but of ancient, apart from the wines, there is nothing. pleasant and inviting furnishings, appreciable distance between guests, pleasant equipment at the tables. but what I have and want to emphasize in great voice is the high quality of the products, the preparation that manages to exalt each goto giving to each ingredient the right relief, the competence in the presentation (even the eye wants its part, you know) .already all this is reason to advise and carry on the desire to return from chez louis, but the right complement is jean pierre, the owner, who always sends you as a positive character and Thanks jeanpierre, soon, definitely. mt and c"

"We visited Il Giardino del Gusto in November of 2019 while on vacation with our family from Toronto, Canada. Where to start?! The menu looked appetizing but that 's about it--our first plates came out rather cold and were SO SMALL (I ordered the prawns and I was given two measly pieces of shrimp... really? . When I inquired our waiter, Marco, why the portions were so small he said in a cavalier way Welcome to Italy! . Um, okay. By the time our main dishes came out, we were ready for the bill. The portion-controlled sizes of the dishes continued to mimic those of a tasting menu at a 5* Michelin restaurant, however, the taste was altogether lacking. Most of our family members don 't even remember what they ate here, it was that non-memorable. My husband, who ordered the fresh fish of the day, said the fish tasted farm-raised and was definitely not freshly caught. No excuse!! Ventimiglia is RIGHT on the water. Daiiiii! The kicker was the waitstaff drama that we witnessed. Voices were raised between the restaurant manager, Maria, and our waiter, Marco, who seemed to be involved in some sort of cheating lover 's quarrel! I kid you not, our Canadian family members who speak Italian were shocked at what was said between them. While not all of us spoke Italian, we got the gist of their drama. All together this restaurant has a very unprofessional atmosphere and the food is overpriced and not fresh to boot. The sommelier, Anna, was very helpful however in making sure that we had our bellies full of good, French and Italian wines. Skip the waitstaff drama, poor food, and small portions--in short, find another place to eat in Ventimiglia!"
