Agua Bistro' del Mare - Bordighera (IM)

Agua Bistro' del Mare was born in 2009 from an offshoot of "La Via Romana", where chef Pino Franzé had obtained the coveted Michelin star. The first location in the Sant'Ampelio bathing establishment was subsequently moved to the beautiful seaside promenade, which today it overlooks with a pleasant terrace. The interiors are divided into a single airy room, with modern furnishings and marble floors. The terrace with sea view is a fundamental resource during the summer. Pino Franzé's is a very fresh fish cuisine, treated with simplicity, harmony and elegance: tasty, rich and inviting dishes, which satisfy the appetite and invite you to return. A cuisine made with the use of impeccable but also accessible quality materials, a reflection of the daily availability of the market and the fish.

La Colonna - Castelnuovo Berardenga (SI)











La Colonna is the gourmet restaurant of Hotel Le Fontanelle, a pleasant Relais in the Chianti region of Siena. The evocative atmosphere is that of an ancient rural hamlet restored to its splendor with a skillful renovation. Its Belvedere Terrace opens onto the Chianti vineyards, offering the unique thrill of savoring cuisine under the vault of heaven.


Francesco Ferrettini, who arrived at Hotel Le Fontanelle in 2014 and was promoted Resident Chef at La Colonna in 2022, operates in the kitchen: working closely with Daniele Canella, Executive Chef for the past 8 years, he offers cuisine that is linked to the territory but stands out for its personal touch and sensitivity to the avant-garde.

His most important experiences have always had Tuscany at the center, both at Marina di Pietrasanta in Versilia and at Belmond Castello di Casole.


La Colonna restaurant, the pearl of Hotel Le Fontanelle, has undergone a marked evolution from a classic hotel restaurant to something more contemporary, while fully respecting the tradition of Tuscan cuisine.

Francesco Ferrettini's cooking intrigues by having the dishes discover seemingly unusual combinations, yet a vehicle for strongly positive sensations.

The raw material, of superfine quality, is treated with flair and creativity.

A fabulous location, a first-rate welcome and the possibility of really very good drinking, and not just Tuscan, contribute to the overall pleasant feeling that can make the memory of a tasting indelible.
