Its truffle or clam pastas have been big time favourites with all Italian cuisine lovers . The chefs Nouri and Cristian specially go all across Italy to bring out the best of Mediterranean flavours .
’ We cook with love . It is all about taking our guests on a journey with these sunny dishes . Monaco is an international land . We are therefore inspired by products , colours and recipes from all the Mediterranean countries , with a Greek or Tunisian influence …’, they tell .
One of the restaurant ’ s specialties is an artichoke salad with parmesan , a simple savoury dish , a pinnacle of finesse , others feature semi-cooked tuna , stuffed squid , sea bream tartare with pomegranate or a homemade frozen nougat and orange blossom dessert .
Roger Moore ’ s creation , the restaurant ’ s regular in the past , deserves a special mention . The actor had once volunteered to compose his own mozzarella salad . Since that day , Le Michelangelo guests always have a selection of Sicilian tomatoes , red onions and an excellent buratta to arrange this great classic to their very own taste .
As for the wine list , France and Italy are in the spotlight with a few precious bottles and a large selection of more affordable wines .
Whether a business lunch or a romantic dinner , Le Michelangelo offers a setting suitable for all occasions — in peace and harmony .
