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.

Castellana - Saluzzo (CN)











The Castellana restaurant is based in Saluzzo in an exceptional location inside the ancient monastery of San Giovanni.
It opens on the wave of the success of the prestigious Castellana Restaurant in Hong Kong, which is part of the property's project to export Piedmontese cuisine to the world, a project that contemplates a forthcoming opening in Canada.


The name Castellana takes inspiration from the typical female mask of the Carnival of Saluzzo, the town of origin of the local patron Matteo Morello, and intends to underline the link with the territory and its popular traditions. Guests are greeted by a beautiful room with vaulted ceilings and exposed brick.


La Castellana is "the right place" to taste a great Piedmontese cuisine, traditional but also revisited in a contemporary way, in all those details that make the difference, with the right ideas and excellent technique.

The goal of enhancing the immense culinary heritage of this area of Cuneo, which extends from Saluzzo to the valleys where Castelmagno and Grana cheese are born, has been fully achieved.

The recipes and advice of a great Michelin-starred Chef such as Marco Sacco, the happy hand of a talented and trustworthy Executive Chef like Enrico Degani and a young, motivated and close-knit kitchen and dining room brigade form an exceptional guide for one of those restaurants that leave a mark in the mind and heart and leave a great desire to return.
