Manon and Rocco’s pizzas are a testament to their dedication to quality and innovation. Their meticulously crafted dough, made from a blend of Italian flours and left to rest for 48 to 72 hours, results in a crust that is both light and crisp. Spread with organic durum wheat semolina, each pizza achieves a perfect, crunchy texture.


The menu ranges from classic favourites like Margherita and Napoletana to more sophisticated offerings featuring truffle or avocado caviar. And don't miss out on the desserts – Manon Santini, crowned World Champion Pizza Dessert in 2019, creates sweet pizzas that are as creative as they are delicious. Highlights include the strawberry-pistachio pizza and the decadent chocolate and hazelnut praline pizza from Piedmont.


A Fashionable Setting

Nestled by the pool in a haute couture setting, Odyssey is where luxury meets leisure. The ambiance, meticulously designed by Lagerfeld, exudes elegance and modern sophistication, making it one of the trendiest spots in the Principality. Imagine dining under the stars, surrounded by fashionable decor, with the gentle sounds of water providing the perfect backdrop.
