We are fresh back from a very brief 'pop up' restaurant by Marcello in The Columbus Hotel, Monaco. It was superb, every single ingredient had been carefully chosen. I enjoy finely cut York ham with the most divine fresh Mozzarella. On to a roast beef served rare, thinly sliced with some of the tastiest parmesan. Of course on the table was a very fine olive oil and aged balsamic, all again really full of taste and love. The products really speak for themselves with very simple plates. Accompanied with the greatest wine list that we have come to know and love at The Columbus. Before I finish I must say that the real Italian Gelato that the chef brought to our table was real like nothing on earth we have had before we chose to have ours with fresh sabay and that again was excellent. I have nothing but great to say about this restaurant, thank you all for 'popping up' in The Columbus I do hope you come back again … for longer!

We visited the pop up restaurant in the Columbus Hotel over the Grand Prix weekend. Wow what a treat. Beautiful wines, fresh ingredients and excellent service. But the best thing was the ice cream. A concoction of fresh cream and sugar whipped into a cold soft mass with freshly made sauces. I don't even like ice cream but this is amazing.

I ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese and my wife had a salad.we ordered a bottle of Prosecco on the wine list for €30. The spaghetti was ok but the Bolognese was very notably lacking and the price was exorbitant. When the bill came The Prosecco was charged at €50 When I challenged this I was told they had none of the 'cheaper' left and this was a better quality. A place to be avoided!!
