Bon appétit*
Yes it is, I always say it before eating with other people and you can hear it as well at the restaurant when the waiter gives your dishes.

Yes "bon appétit" is really common. I would personally not say it in day to day life, like I won't say it with people I eat with everyday, but for more special occasion like going to restaurent or during a family dinner it's common to say it at the start of the meal. It's also really common, even perhaps more common actualy, to say it when you cross someone you know when they are eating or about to do so.
