Cascina Lautier - Chieri (TO)

Image
Cascina Lautier is housed in an ancient 18th century manor house just a short distance from Chieri, situated in a spectacular panoramic position on the hillside with breathtaking views as far as the Alps. To reach it, you'll travel a long driveway that climbs from the main road. The restaurant is divided into one large rectangular room, in which the fireplace, always lit during the winter season, and the beautiful majolica stoves stand out. The terracotta floors, the ceilings decorated with circular soundproofing elements, the wide draperies and the well-spaced round tables characterize the furniture, completed by a red wardrobe at the entrance. For the beauty of the location, the warmth of the welcome and an excellent cuisine based on tradition that does not disdain some hints of innovation, well calibrated and without excesses, Cascina Lautier is a very recommendable address.

Ristorante Larossa - Torino

Image
The Andrea Larossa restaurant, after years of success and awards in Alba, has moved its headquarters to Turin in a very attractive location at the foot of the hill. We visited it a few days before the inauguration to give you a preview of one of the novelties that will be most talked about. The interior of the restaurant impresses for the airiness and elegance of its spaces. The rooms of a former bowling alley have been renovated with great taste, giving life to a spectacular structure that is divided into a large dining room dazzling with light, which overlooks like a balcony, a second raised room with an open kitchen, where there are some privileged tables from which to follow the movements of the Chef and his Brigade. At the Larossa restaurant you will experience a modern cuisine that draws from tradition to create dishes with a strong personality, with clean, precise and balanced flavors. Andrea Larossa is a Chef with a highly recognizable hand, with some outstanding dishes, ...

Giasseria, Drogheria Ittica - Pavia

Image
La Giasseria, Drogheria Ittica, is located in Pavia in a central location, a few steps from the pedestrian area. The dining rooms are divided into 3 rooms, the first of which is a continuation of the entrance. Three steps lead up to the second small room with grit floors and a slightly curved floor plan. The beautiful solid wood tables are all different from each other. La Giasseria is a "sui generis" restaurant that deserves great attention: under the aegis of patron Mirko Quirino, chef Alessandro Cerutti and sushiman Marcello Riina create a fish and Japanese-inspired cuisine that is wonderfully based on avant-garde techniques and a respect for "poor" raw materials that deserves open applause. You will enjoy a rich, stimulating, cultured and refined gastronomic experience in a shabby-chic environment that elegantly reflects and synthesizes the philosophy of the house. The maturing of fish is a relatively new frontier and decidedly little explored even by the ...

Ristorante Capriccioli - Torino

Image
Capriccioli restaurant is located in Turin in a semi-central position. Upon entering, you will be greeted by a life-size soldier from the Nutcracker Prince fairy tale. The restaurant's interiors enjoy thoughtful decor and well-designed lighting that helps create a relaxing atmosphere. Beautiful solid wood tables and grandmother's chairs alternating in two different hues, light and gold, are the prominent decor elements. The family-run restaurant boasts an excellent Mediterranean seafood cuisine based on selected and fresh ingredients, with some specialties of Sardinia, which is the land of origin of the owner Michele Briguglio, and the plus of some oriental touches.

EraGoffi - Torino

Image
EraGoffi is the gastronomic restaurant in Turin that represents a new era and a new history of a historic place, the Goffi del Lauro, where artists, musicians and literary figures from Turin in the early 1900s used to meet. The new revised name is a tribute to tradition, as well as the logo of the restaurant, which represents the laurel tree of which there is only one specimen left in the garden. Once inside, you will find rooms totally renovated with great taste, in which you will admire the wise use of tapestries alternating with plaster and exposed brick. In the dining room, furnished with elements of great design, stand out the suspended lamps that contribute to a well-designed lighting and well centered on the tables. EraGoffi does not take away from what has been, but adds new values and content in a contemporary key. A great hand, that of Chef Lorenzo Careggio! Personality, technique and imagination, many ideas, a taste for provocation perfectly balanced by an admirable se...

Prato Gaio - Montecalvo Versiggia (PV)

Image
Prato Gaio restaurant is located in the open country, in a beautiful position among the vineyards of the sweet hills of Oltrepò Pavese, few kilometers from Santa Maria della Versa. The main dining room is as warm and inviting as a living room at home. The rooms feature polished dark parquet floors embellished with oriental rugs, with light-colored walls, rich curtains and well-spaced tables set with elegance. Prato Gaio is a very pleasant restaurant with its own well-defined gastronomic imprint, characterized by a relaxing atmosphere and a very fresh cuisine, wisely focused on the rediscovery of traditional dishes, the result of a passionate and intelligent philological research. Every dish of Prato Gaio has its own matrix and an absolute recognizability. If we add to this a competent, courteous, quick and professional service and an excellent quality-price ratio, it goes without saying that the restaurant is worth a special trip.

Da U Titti - Lingueglietta (IM)

Image
The restaurant Da U Titti enjoys a delightful location in a medieval village of Imperia of extraordinary beauty that is part of the list of the most beautiful villages in Italy. The only small room is a cozy bijou tastefully decorated, with stone floor and vaulted ceiling. Among the many details we noticed the colorful soundproofing panels, hanging on the walls like paintings, the chandeliers made with bicycle spoke circles and the small window overlooking the ancient walls under the arch at floor level. Da U Titti is definitely one of the best tables in western Liguria. It is a place where everything runs perfectly, from the perfectly synchronized organization of the dining room and kitchen to the excellence of the dishes created by a Chef with an important curriculum. Chiara in the dining room is a delightful hostess, but it is all the staff, under her careful guidance, who know how to move with grace and attention. Riccardo in the kitchen shows off masterful preparations that ...
