Marco Polo - Ventimiglia (IM)

The Marco Polo restaurant, run for three generations by the Pani family, is located in a beautiful seafront position on the Ventimiglia promenade. The place is unmistakable: a building entirely made of wood, like a chalet, which stands out among the other signs of the beach establishments. The interiors are also completely made of wood: the overall atmosphere, warm and welcoming, may initially amaze with its originality in the context. The entrance precedes the two dining rooms.

Borgo Sant'Anna - Monforte d'Alba (CN)

The farmhouse, surrounded by vineyards, has undergone a radical renovation that, when fully operational, will also allow you to have some charming rooms.


The interior of the restaurant is warm and welcoming, with wooden floors, wooden ceilings and many design details. The second dining room has its strong point in the magnificent open kitchen in black marble, which even overlooks it on two sides. Noteworthy is the point of color given by the original chairs with patchwork fabric seats.


We have known and esteemed Pasquale Laera and his cuisine for years, it is logical that our expectations were very high: well, we can state with absolute conviction that they have been totally expected.

In his new restaurant Pasquale has reached a balance and a maturity that are certainly the result of his condition of great serenity and joy for his current work.

His cuisine is a real hymn to the Great Italian Cuisine, with homages to the Southern one and learned quotations of regional recipes, through superfine elaborations supported by an enviable technique.
