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. Gegè Mangano is undoubtedly one of the most representative and charismatic chefs of Puglia, considered a true gastronomic ambassador of the Gargano.

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.
