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.

L'Altro Cantuccio - Montepulciano











L'Altro Cantuccio is based in the historic center of Montepulciano, in a building with centuries of history.


The Restaurant is located in an extremely touristy corner, with the outdoor tables taken by storm by visitors to the magnificent Tuscan Medieval Village: it would be easy to lie back and take advantage of the location alone, yet here it has been decided to make a very personal gastronomic cuisine to go along with the ever-present traditional offerings.


The interior of L'Altro Cantuccio opens with a small reception room where the beautiful tile floors, exposed brick vaults, counter, bottle collection, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and goblet offerings stand out.


We really liked the formula of L'Altro Cantuccio: it is a gastronomic cuisine that traditional dishes made with rigor and excellent raw materials are flanked by an original and fun, cosmopolitan creative path, with quotations from all over the world that tastefully flank local ingredients redesigning new dishes.

Chef Mattia Putzulu possesses technique and imagination. He is a curious gourmet who has cleverly put his passion for travel and other food cultures to good use, going on to create a stimulating and personal cuisine, capable of surprising and conveying emotions.

We drank divinely, thanks to the original and well-centered choices of his wife, maître and sommelier, Monica Ceregatti.
