Al Vecchio Forno

As authentic as a Neapolitan scooter, this established eatery serves Menton’s Italian neighbors from just across the border. If the dress and dialect of its patrons shouts “Godfather,” the pizza is just as genuine. Seasonal artichokes and funghi come from Italy, as does the mozzarella and sea bream. The latter is seared crisp alongside the pizzas in the wood-fired oven.
