Gourmet Italien - Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

Read previous reviews but husband wanted Italian so we came here. The restaurant serves ok food. Pasta better than the pizzas, seafood poor. The service abrupt and extremely slow. The main issue is with the male owner. If you were watching on tv would be funny, but sadly this is no comedy sketch. He has a very bad temper and unkind. Really spoilt the meal. Watching arguments he had with other guests. He really would be better suited away from front of house. Certainly wouldn't recommend or return - would rather catch my own!

Had a lovely dinner here, it was very busy so do book a table. A few groups and lots of couples. The salads were great, the spaghetti seafood was the star! Service was good, they are probably short one waiter.

Our friend who lives and works in St Jean recommended Gourmet Italian to us and it was wonderful. We have brilliantly prepared food that was well priced and washed down with a lovely bottle of Rosé. The family that own it, run it and are great hosts. Most of the people who were there with us were obviously regulars and had great chat with the host and hostess. Go you won't be sorry.

An enjoyable and tasty place to eat in Cap Ferrat. Looked the best place along the front, not the cheapest, but good quality food and service in a great location. You get what you pay for here.

My wife and I eat at "Le Gourmet Italien" about once a year, generally with friends. I cannot remember a single instance where it was not of the highest quality, although the price can be a significant deterrent. Recently, the mussels I had there nearly had me crying of joy. I am not aware of any better ones, anywhere. Highly recommended for those who are food connoisseurs. It is still much cheaper than starred restaurants of comparable quality. The restaurant's Lady owner and the main waiter are also most pleasant people.
