Cà Mentin - Revigliasco (TO)

Image
Cà Mentin restaurant is located in Revigliasco, on the Turin hills, housed in an old farmhouse used for horse breeding. The owner and Chef Enzo Gola, a great horse riding enthusiast, dedicated the name of the restaurant to his grandfather Clemente, nicknamed Mentin, who bought the house in 1890. The large dining room, in which rustic and modern elements coexist in harmony, is located on the upper floor, introduced by a work by the artist Mauro Benetti at the arrival of the staircase. At Cà Mentin you will taste an excellent modern cuisine, anchored to tradition but willing to revisit it when appropriate. The quality of the raw material is pursued without compromise: some ingredients are so precious "of them" that the intervention of the Chef can only be limited to satisfying their goodness with minimal intervention. Thanks to Enzo Gola's "passionate" wine making choices, we drank in an amazing way, discovering niche products that alone would be worth the t...

Voglia di Vino - Alba (CN)

Image
Voglia di Vino, Restaurant and Inn, is based in Alba in the center, with its small terrace installed on the cobblestones of the street. Born in 2014 as a winery by the hand of Luca Tirelli with his wife Daniela Stocchetti, it has evolved into a fully-fledged restaurant with the presence of a Chef, Marco d'Orfeo, young but with proven experience and personality. Voglia di Vino is an excellent address in Alba both for the cuisine and for the pleasantness of a personal and trendy environment, which deviates a little from the usual canons of the gourmet city of the Langhe. The hand of Marco d'Orfeo stands out in the kitchen, a very respectable curriculum in starred restaurants, author of traditional dishes and more, made with solid and mature technique and the use of excellent ingredients.

La Fontana del Re - Agliano Terme (AT)

Image
La Fontana del Re Restaurant is located inside the magnificent Relais Villa Fontana that we reviewed in lemilleUnanotte, located in a splendid panoramic position on the hill of Agliano Terme. Housed in a couple of stately manor houses from the last century that have undergone an exquisite conservative renovation, it is a delightful, beautiful and evocative place in every season, framed by the hills of the Langhe and Monferrato, a UNESCO heritage site. The dining room is a spectacular veranda overlooking the panoramic terrace overlooking the hills, whose tables, set with white tablecloths, are served by Kartell plexiglass chairs. The focus has been on quality and pampering, thanks to an exceptional location: the guests of the Relais and external bookings will enjoy, in a corner of taste and class, a truly well-made local cuisine, with the use of very fresh raw materials, many of which come from the magnificent garden of the Villa, which stands out in the park with its characterist...
