Casa Fuego is not just a restaurant; it's an invitation to experience warmth and camaraderie in a setting designed for sharing and savoring. The heart of the dining experience lies in the grill, or “Asado,” a centerpiece that not only adds a delightful aroma but also creates an atmosphere of culinary authenticity and delight.
Breathtaking View

Dining
Dive into a menu crafted from Chef Mauro Colagreco’s cherished family recipes, where Argentine-inspired dishes like tangy aguachile, smoky escalivada, and mouthwatering empanadas offer a burst of South American flavors. The essence of Colagreco’s dual Italian heritage is evident in the homemade pastas, crafted from organic flour sourced from his artisanal Mitron Bakery. The menu at Casa Fuego celebrates local and seasonal produce, with ingredients sourced from the markets of Menton and Ventimiglia. Some fresh fruits and vegetables come straight from Mauro Colagreco’s garden, just a short stroll from the restaurant.
The restaurant shines with its selection of high-quality meats, expertly grilled over a wood fire. Indulge in tender pork ribs, filet de boeuf, or the standout Côte de Boeuf, aged 45 days and served with homemade French fries and Béarnaise sauce. End your meal on a sweet note with decadent desserts like mojito semifreddo and seasonal fresh figs with lemon cream.
