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.

Tère Rüse - Mombaruzzo (AT)

The rectangular dining room is pleasantly furnished. Lighting is dimmed during service to create a more intimate atmosphere.


Visiting Tère Rüse means not only drinking and eating well but also getting in touch with a project that sets itself the goal of a real change in the quality of life.

The winery cultivates grapes with biological and biodynamic methods, paying great attention to increasing biodiversity and using alternative methods such as the establishment of beneficial insects and the proliferation of microbial life in the soil.

The use of Impruneta amphorae to make wine makes it possible to maintain a lower temperature than steel, developing the finesse and delicacy of the wine more slowly and managing to maintain every scent.

All this will return to you in the glasses that you will drink at the table accompanied by a simple but well-finished cuisine, not banal, made exclusively with products from Piedmontese farms, with vegetables from their own garden and fruit from their own orchard.
