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. The main one has a rectangular plan, well-spaced tables and overlooks the private beach through large windows and a French door. In the kitchen there is Diego Pani, a young and concrete chef.

Il Frantoio - Assisi (PG)

The lounge-veranda, which enjoys a wonderful view of the scenic Umbrian valley from the entire glass wall, is the result of a very accurate interior design project by Marta Toni, who with the paintings on the walls and tables pays homage to the olive tree, the true leit-motif of the restaurant, for an immersive oil-centric experience.


Lorenzo Cantoni's cuisine literally thrilled us: it is original and modern, rich in flavors but light and digestible as few, it knows how to amaze and entertain but always with an objective in mind, never for virtuosity as an end in itself.

Lorenzo conducts a real ongoing research on Oil, which has already earned him many awards and recognitions: in short, a real talent, who in our opinion will do a lot of talking.

Some of his dishes are absolutely unforgettable: the Panzanella revisited, the Spaghetto al pomodoro, the Pigeon BBQ, the Bread, Oil and Tomato dessert...

One drinks well and discovers a world, that of the Extravergines of excellence, which you are unlikely to find elsewhere so well matched to individual dishes, indeed an integral part of them.
