Ristorante Larossa - Alba (CN)

Image
The restaurant of Michelin-starred chef Andrea Larossa is located in the heart of Alba, a stone's throw from the centre, announced by an unmistakable red door. The first dining room features beautiful barrel ceilings. The second one, heralded by the refrigerated wine cellar set in the alcove, runs the length of the room. At the Larossa restaurant you will experience a modern cuisine of depth, in which tradition is the cue to create dishes with a strong personality, with clear and precise flavors, always balanced. The search for the best raw materials, which are sometimes true rarities, shines through in every preparation. The setting is very pleasant and well-kept, the service perfect.

Ristorante Cubique - Torino

Image
The Cubique restaurant is located in Turin in via Saluzzo, a central but quiet area. It is led by Pierluigi Consonni, an excellent chef that we know and appreciate for years. The interiors, harmonious and lively, are composed of two well-furnished rooms complemented by a mezzanine overlooking the kitchen. At the Cubique restaurant we experienced an excellent "author's cuisine" by a chef as shy and reserved as he is virtuous and prepared. The welcome is warm, in a small and well-kept environment. The cuisine satisfies every expectation, in a mix of classicism and openness to new cooking techniques, with an excellent quality-price ratio and raw materials of absolute quality. A restaurant that already has all the qualities to excel in a competitive (and rather "crowded") panorama such as today's restaurant in Turin. Do you want to post your comment?

EraGoffi - Torino

Image
EraGoffi is the new gastronomic restaurant born in Turin in the same places that since the end of the 19th century have made history with the name of Goffi del Lauro. The new name is a tribute to tradition, as is the logo of the restaurant, which represents that laurel of which only one remains in the garden. The old signs have been deliberately left intact. Once inside, you will find rooms totally renovated with great taste, in which you will admire the wise use of tapestries alternating with plaster and exposed brick. In the dining room, the hanging lamps stand out, contributing to a well-designed and well-centered lighting on the tables. A great hand, that of Chef Lorenzo Careggio! Personality, technique and imagination, many ideas, a taste for provocation perfectly balanced by an admirable sense of balance make his cooking a source of gratification and surprise, which is a bit the essence of what we look for in a Cucina d'Autore. This is a place that will make people talk...

Ristorante Acquamatta - Semiana (PV)

Image
Acquamatta, Green Soul Restaurant, is located among the paddy fields of Lomellina, inside a beautifully restored 1827 mill, surrounded by the protected landscape of the ZPS (Zona di Protezione Speciale delle Risaie Lomelline). The windows of the dining rooms overlook the jump of the spring waters of the Roggia Raina, which provide the restaurant with the heat and electricity needed to heat and cool the rooms. The second room is dominated by a large wooden chest of drawers displaying different types of pasta visible from the glass fronts of the drawers. The rustic and informal-chic environment is of great charm and suggestion and the cuisine, operated by a young and motivated chef, totally keeps its promises. The team formed by Andréia Saito, perfect hostess, and Alessandro Cerutti in the kitchen, will reserve you an experience of taste and hospitality to remember. The restaurant is certainly worth a special trip, planning a restful digression from the main traffic routes, among r...

Cucina San Francesco - Cologne (BS)

Image
Cucina San Francesco is the restaurant of the Cappuccini Resort, charming hotel of which we publish a rich Reportage in lemilleUnanotte . We are in the heart of Franciacorta, an excellent wine-growing and wine-producing area, a stone's throw from Erbusco. The restaurant is located inside the ancient convent and overlooks the cloister. The rooms have character and personality: the eye is drawn to a number of furnishing details that contribute to creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The antique terracotta floors are magnificent. In the kitchen of Cappuccini Resort we started from the study of tradition to modify, renew, balance and finally realize a balanced union between territory and creativity. The young Chef Marco Zilindo moves with sure technique and shows a very inspired hand in every preparation, with original dishes and revisitations of great suggestion.

Umberto De Martino - S. Paolo d'Argon (BG)

Image
Umberto De Martino is the gastronomic restaurant of the Relais Florian Maison, a charming Resort in the Bergamo area whose lemilleUnanotte has created a rich photographic reportage. The restaurant is housed in a modern villa in a panoramic position on the hill of the small village of San Paolo d'Argon, 7 kilometers from Bergamo. The interiors of Florian Maison are striking for the richness and taste of the furnishings. Precious marble, stone and wood have been used and combined in harmony, in the name of a sustainable and environmentally friendly architecture. A few years later, and with a well-deserved Star, we find Umberto de Martino at work in his magnificent location presenting some of his most representative dishes. Both sea and land dishes are very well assorted and impeccably executed, with an absolute quality of raw materials and a happy hand. It does not happen often to find a cuisine capable of arousing emotions, and this one is with absolute certainty. Do you...
