"unfortunately we didn't have the best experience here. we had a whole day on the beach and our experience is as follows we came before our family and asked how much a set of sunbeds and a rainshade is and they said 16€. we were very happy when the others were a bit expensive. we came there and asked for two sunbeds and sunshades and everything was good. they said that the bill at the end was not a problem, at one point we saw someone who came around the people and checked them if someone had eaten some that was not bought from them. they said it is not allowed to bring food from another place. we said we bought pizzas, and at the end of the day we asked for the bill. the bill was €240 for 6 people, the 3 pizzas, 3 water €7 for a 1l bottle, 8€ a beer and some other things that were good. they had accused us of 6 ice creams instead of 4 and at the end they told us that sunbeds were 16 € each. we felt honest, like they wanted to make money from our back. they didn't believe us when we said only 4 ice creams or the sunbeds. all in all a bad experience for us and will not go back."

"the location was attractive. a small picturesque square slightly in draw with a foliage and Mediterranean charm. the restaurant had an outdoor terrace but we decided to eat inside. rustic decoration well maintained. abundance of natural stones and plaster walls of rustic color, nice vaulted type ceiling and terracotta tile floor. We loved him. the kitchen was visible on the path of the toilet and everything seemed chief, busy and good omen. Unfortunately, it's the end of the good news. My wife chose to start with the anchovies leaf and I am the raw ham. The anchovie was not good. Very strange flavor. Too salty. hard dough background. My ham was cut too thick, making the meal difficult. I had to ask for olive oil and gem salt. certainly not the best ham I've had. no comparison with parma or iberico. disappointing. the main dishes were the fish pot and the spaghetti with ceps. Both were a disaster. The fish were cut off. filled with small but important bones. the two rather sad gambas were small and boiled to death. the portion of fish and the quality at the price were bad. Maybe the bisque was swept. The pasta was not good and we left them. we paid 72 euros for this and a very small glass of medium wine and a bottle of flat water. I think chin food is usually not good. French are rather complacent and seem to believe that their historical reputation is enough. Not if. the area is very frequented by tourists and I guess most are unlikely to return to the area, so they think they can get away with it. It's a shame and I couldn't recommend this restaurant. we visit the family regularly to chin, so we would like to find a decent restaurant at a reasonable price. even our family seems to have a bad time. Why? It's the france."

"new gastronomic proposal chin by the chef paolo leone, which offers good alpulien dishes not without a fine air to French contamination and tastes. discounts available on the fork that only apply to orders from two courses. three bedrooms: two external and internal. very courteous reception that the good elena takes care to devote herself carefully to her clients professionally and with sympathy. At the end of the service, the chief does not disconnect with the customers. simple but precise equipment. Welcome to the chef with excellent fresh tomato crusts. The fried anchovies are excellent. the ravioloni with sausage and fresh tomato sauce are very tasty. perfect fish soup for octopus cuisine that follows local tastes. fresh and tasty paccheri with zucchini and shrimp. Pestache dessert is delicious. offered limoncello. wine map without excess and with profit margins the possibility to taste the house as well. report honest, adequate to offer. No doubt an address not to forget. We will soon be back and often."

"Casarella used to be a Corsican restaurant.It is located in the old Roquebrune village and is a quiet and nice location, although not accessible by car.It has been sold a few months ago, and has reincarnated itself in an Italian restaurant, more precisely Neapolitan.I decided to give it a try after a friend's advice.Being an Italian, I am often wary of Italian restaurants abroad, but I went along and gave it a try.What I found was a typical Neapolitan menu, with the addition of a few other Italian classics (carbonara, pesto).We tried several things and were surprised by the quality.The pasta was impeccably cooked, the sauces were made with the best Neapolitan tomatoes, the grilled mozzarella was fresh.Even the carbonara, although not a Neapolitan dish, was faultless.We then carried on trying the meatballs (polpette), and found them to be exquisite.We then tried a Pastiera Napoletana which is a difficult dessert to prepare, and one of my favorites. It was perfectly executed.We were then offered a limoncello (lemon based sweet liquor) and found it thick enough to be the real thing, and not a usual washed out imitation.Prices were more than reasonable and quality and service were faultless.The wine list was quite correct and the wines are listed at reasonable prices.Congratulations to the chef and the team for what they did. It is not easy to open a restaurant in a medieval village: cars cannot access it, it is difficult to carry groceries and to receive deliveries.They were courageous to open in such a location, and in my book, they deserve the praise."
