Hostaria Ducale - Genova

Image
Hostaria Ducale is located in Genoa, in a very central area. Once you enter, you will be struck by the tasteful and design furniture. At the entrance with a corner bar stands a spectacular steam brazier with fake flames LED variable color. Just beyond, here is the only dining room with soft lighting, marble tables served by chairs and sofas, decorations and details of character between the elegance of black and the warmth of gold. The kitchen is entrusted to Daniele Rebosio, a young chef who already boasts significant experience alongside great contemporary masters. The patron Enrico Vinelli was able to find and wanted in his kitchens a young emerging Chef with experiences of absolute value next to great contemporary masters such as Alain Ducasse, Ferran Adrià and Davide Oldani and he was rewarded with resounding results: Daniele Rebosio is the author of original dishes rich in personality, which are further enhanced in the dining room by a Sommelier capable of surprising. ...

Locanda La Clusaz - Gignod (AO)

Image
The Locanda La Clusaz is located in Valle d'Aosta, in Gignod, on the state road that leads from Aosta to the Gran San Bernardo Tunnel, easily accessible from the freeway network. A whole year of closure during the pandemic had displaced its most loyal customers, us first, but today La Clusaz is back in operation with the management of the former resident Chefs Piergiorgio Pellerei and Thierry Buillet. The two rooms of the restaurant are scenographically set in environments full of history, under the spectacular stone vaults lit by soft warm and atmospheric lights. Locanda La Clusaz has always been supported by the personality of its owner Maurizio Grange, made of organizational skills and infinite enogastronomical knowledge and culture, well supported by his wife Sevi Math. The passing of the baton took place in the most painless way, as today at the helm of the restaurant there is the one who has been leading the kitchen for years, the couple of Chefs Piergiorgio Pellerei an...

Il Nazionale - Vernante (CN)

Image
The Restaurant Il Nazionale, with annexed Hotel and Relais, is located in Vernante, the village famous for the Pinocchio murals. You will find it overlooking the main road to Limone and Col di Tenda, although the entrance is on the side of the small street Cavour. Entering the dining room, you find yourself in a bright environment of refined elegance, a large veranda furnished in mountain style, with exposed beams and beautiful wooden floors, the central stone fireplace and many furnishing elements of strong personality, among which we note the chandeliers and sconces made with thin sheets of balsa wood. The cuisine of starred Chef Fabio Ingallinera is one that we like very much for its contemporary reinterpretation of tradition, with the use of modern techniques, such as fermentation, and excellent raw materials. Whether you are just a glutton for food or, even more so, whether you are moved by a philological search for authentic dishes of memory, Il Nazionale is worth a special...

Osteria La Rosa Rossa - Cherasco (CN)

Image
Osteria La Rosa Rossa is located in the center of Cherasco, in a quiet pedestrian street paved with porphyry. The atmosphere of the interior is that of a typical old Osteria, with furnishings that have remained unchanged over time, the characteristic grit floors and the wooden bumpers on the walls. The intelligent and imaginative use of wooden wine boxes as furnishing accessories gives the rooms a fresh note of originality. How much we love this formula of traditional Osteria with a proposal of both classic and free-hand cuisine! Both interpretations are of the highest level, for the superb quality of the raw materials, the cooking technique and the wisdom of the combinations. At La Rosa Rossa you enter an Osteria almost of another era, then you decide whether to taste the great classics of tradition (knife strokes, tajarin, snails and braised meats) performed in a masterful way or enjoy a modern and original (but beware: not brainless) path conceived by a young and motivated Che...
