Baccarat

Frommer's Review

Baccarat is an elegant testimonial to the flavors and presentations of Italy, with an emphasis on Sicily, birthplace of owner-chef Carmelo Gulletta. The avant-garde paintings of Monégasque painter Clérissy line the walls of the vaguely Art Deco space, but the owners say the cuisine is more Italian and less Monégasque than anything else in Monaco. Guletta's French-born, English-speaking wife, Patricia, supervises the dining room. The antipasto selection is the best in the principality, ranging from steamed asparagus with hollandaise to Andalusian gazpacho. The chefs turn out risottos as good as anything in Italy along with Monaco's most enticing pastas, such as savory spaghetti with baby clams. In general, fish dishes such as sole meunière are better than meat and poultry offerings.
