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.

Il Nazionale - Vernante (CN)











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 trip, regardless of the inconvenience caused by the closure of the Col di Tenda highway.
If you would like to extend your stay, the Hotel and the Relais del Nazionale are at your disposal with an offer full of pampering and attention.
