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 Gallo della Checca - Ranzo (IM)











Il Gallo della Checca, a truffle restaurant with its own Tartufaia as well as an osteria and wine shop since 1986, is located in Ranzo, a small village of the Ligurian hinterland on the border with Piedmont.

Davide Cristaldi's cuisine is fresh, stimulating and balanced, based on carefully selected ingredients combined with a happy hand.


The restaurant overlooks an entire glass wall on the large terrace from which you can enjoy the splendid panorama of the Langa hills, with Serralunga d'Alba in the foreground.
You can access it directly by lift from the Reception floor, first encountering the room with the bar counter, and, in front of this, the air-conditioned cellar, which in turn can host small convivial meetings.
