Price absolutely not justified. Boiled vegetables tasteless. I don't recommend it. They are very expensive and not kind. Plus if you are in the way you catch cold and if inside you smell meat all afternoon. I'm definitely not going back.

Best food and service we had in Europe, first place that had both good food AND reasonable prices, which was unexpected especially in Monaco.
If you enjoy meat dishes, this is top notch. Chicken, lamb, steak, fries, vegetables, AND THE TIRAMISU
DONT MISS OUT ON THE TIRAMISU. 10/10 I’ll think about this place for the rest of my life.

Great place to get some meat dishes in Monaco. Not over priced and the food was delicious. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, my son's filet was cooked perfectly and the Picanha was cooked perfectly too. The potato puree was delicious. It's not a fancy restaurant but it is a nice restaurant. It has good food and we had great service. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a good meal that tastes delicious that isn't overpriced. We sat inside but they also have outdoor seating as well. We got right in without a reservation but I think it's probably best to make a reservation before going. It's a 15min walk from the Fairmont Hotel and about 3 to 5 min taxi ride.

The Italian catastrophe!
Before starting the Monte Carlo Historical Rally our team of 9 people had booked in La Bionda for 12:30.
We arrived at 12:30.
The room where we were installed is in the basement, totally charmless, very noisy since full to bursting.
The only "decoration" consists of 2 TV screens!
Wanting to eat fast, we choose the menu at 18 Euros consisting of a (single) starter and a dish among 6.
We place an order with our (free...) server.
He comes back 5 minutes later (still gracious) to announce "there is no more menu entry".
We ask him if we can then replace the starter with a dessert. His answer is clear and very commercial: "No."
He agrees (miracle) to cut the price of the menu in half if we just take a dish.
We therefore order our dishes.
And he comes back 5 minutes later (always gracious) to announce "there is no longer a dish on the menu. You have to order à la carte."
As we must finish, we order à la carte.
The dishes finally arrive: raw formwork, without taste, without presentation, without interest.
For fun, several wine mistakes that were not intended for us.
After this moment of pure gastronomy, we consider a dessert: Only 1 out of 5 homemade offers.
This delicious lunch is finally over: of course; not a word of apology for this succession of failures!
We're here in a cartoon of a gargot: nothing's right, nothing's good, we don't care about the customer.
Usually Italian restaurants are a model of service and generosity. Not here at all.
We think that the 18 Euros menu is a scam designed to attract the customer: it does not exist!
Never again, never again will we go! Too bad because between rally competitors we talk a lot among ourselves and exchange a lot about the right and wrong addresses!!

I don’t even know where to begin with how inconsistent and disappointing this restaurant is. The first time I dined here, the pasta was a soggy, overcooked mess—completely lifeless and drowned in sauce. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and try again, but this time? The pasta was undercooked to the point of being inedible. It’s almost impressive how they managed to swing from one extreme to the other. Instead of perfectly cooked pasta, they served me something that was gritty, tough, and clearly pulled out of the pot way too soon. The sauce, which should have been the saving grace, was bland and poorly executed, like an afterthought. This place has no idea how to handle something as basic as pasta, and it’s beyond frustrating. Consistency and care seem to be completely absent here. After two terrible experiences, I won’t be giving them a third chance.

It may be a bit hard to find, but definitely worth the trouble as they serve very good (hot) meat platters. Staff are friendly and attentive. The restaurant has places indoor, in a covered hallway and in a kiosk on the street side; I would recommend to reserve indoors, unless you want to avoid kitchen smells.

La Bionda Restaurant is an absolute hidden gem in Monaco. This charming rosticceria offers some of the best arrosticini and meats I've ever tasted. The quality of the meats is outstanding. What sets La Bionda apart is its warm, welcoming atmosphere. It's a refreshing, down-to-earth spot amidst the luxury of Monaco, providing a truly human and enjoyable dining experience. The staff are friendly making you feel right at home. I can't wait to return and savor more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine, delightful meal.

Fantastic experience. They let us come in early for dinner and rushed to make our food so we wouldn’t miss our train, yet everything came out absolutely delicious. The service was 5 star and they took extra good care of the children. Would come back to Monaco solely for this restaurant.

A group of five friends were there on May 11, 2024 for the Monaco Historic Grand Prix. We ordered grilled veal skewers and salads. The food arrived 20 minutes later, and we were brought a fillet that we hadn't ordered. The waitress insisted that we had ordered it, even though we had ordered skewers. The fillet was taken back with grumbling, the salads arrived much too late when we had finished eating, I have a different idea of green salad than arugula and lettuce. The veal fillet was lukewarm and much too small for €17, and the taste was mediocre. The skewers were tough. But the worst thing was the unbelievable unfriendliness of the staff, it's amazing that they can keep guests like that. To top it all off, the chef came out of the bathroom and went back to the kitchen without washing his hands, and then the fillet that we hadn't ordered was added to the bill! Once and never again.

We enjoyed our experience here at La Bionda! We were greeted warmly what looked to be the owner and sat us immediately. He spoke Italian, English, and fluent French and we were so impressed! We had their famous Picante Dish (sliced steak on a griddle) with a side of cheese pasta and mixed salad! It was so so good and THE BEST steak dish we had during our trip in France! Their Cotes D’azur house red was phenomenal as well. After we left the owner even gave us a quick hug! We felt like this was a family tan restaurant and they treated us like family. Can’t wait to go back one day. Thank you to our new friends at La Brioda!

Staffs are friendly and helpful, trying their best to explain the menu in English for us, which makes us feel welcomed even we are the only Asian in this small restaurant.
