Li Jalantuùmene - Monte Sant'Angelo (FG)

Li Jalantuùmene restaurant overlooks the characteristic Piazza de' Galganis, a sixteenth-century gem in the heart of the historic center of Monte Sant'Angelo, in the heart of the Gargano Park. The external walls with portions of light stone and the clean lines of the building integrate perfectly with the surrounding whiteness of the Junno district. The name of the restaurant, which in dialect means "The Gentlemen", is a true declaration of intent: to recall the elegance, honesty and elegance of times gone by, applying them to hospitality and service. Once you cross the threshold, the restaurant reveals its nature as a "home" characterized by a romantic and intimate atmosphere.

Antinè - Barbaresco (CN)











Antinè is located in the center of Barbaresco, an excellence of Italian viticulture, right next to the headquarters of Cantine Gaja.

The restaurant, owned by Chef Manuel Bouchard, is now an attractive "gastronomic bistro" of regional cuisine.


The wide staircase with stone slab steps leads you to the restaurant room on the second floor, past a dramatic lamp-sculpture.

The setting is minimalist: gray tile floors, clear walls with no pictures, designer hanging lamps, and a few well-spaced tables.


A stop at Antinè is always worth a special trip thanks to a cuisine that fully repays expectations.

Manuel Bouchard's hand is, yes, hooked on tradition, but it is at the same time modern, thanks to research conducted without exasperations of technique or leaps toward the avant-garde: you will find there a few notes of the Orient, clean, precise and distinguishable flavors, well-thought-out textures and cooking, and a few "divertissements," all accompanied by an uncommon sense of aesthetics.

The aim is to keep the flavors crisp, clean and clearly distinguishable from each other.

You will happen to recognize some quotations derived from the Chef's magnificent educational background, particularly the Waldensian and Occitan ones.

The clean, precise flavors and impeccable pairings belong on a top scale.

One drinks very well, thanks to a cellar that boasts more than 800 labels very well managed by Monica Moschetti.
