"RistOrto" Casa Format is the result of the Responsible Cooking and Hospitality project founded on a zero environmental impact ecosystem operating in Orbassano, in the open countryside but just a stone's throw from Turin, under the auspices of Giovanni Grasso and Igor Macchia's Credenza Group and in collaboration with the Owner of the large designer furniture store next door, Format Progetti Abitativi. The all-wood and glass building, fronted by a swimming pool, with photovoltaic and water-recycling systems that make it self-sufficient and totally environmentally sustainable, has a hi-tech appearance reminiscent of that of a villa in Florida or California. Casa Format's slogan is "responsible cooking and hospitality." So behind the building has sprung up a large vegetable garden with a winter greenhouse, which provides the cooks with raw material all year round, which can be visited and where you can, have an aperitif during the warm season. It is ...

San Genesio Restaurant is located in a panoramic position in the hills of Castagneto Po in Turin. The restaurant has a century-long history, so much so that it can be found in the historical archives of La Stampa with a full-page article from 1936 singing its praises. The interior is that of a noble country residence. The winter dining room has terracotta floors and botticella ceilings with exposed brick and wood beams. Just a few minutes' drive from the city, Ristorante San Genesio is an oasis of peace nestled among surprisingly wooded and lush hills where you can enjoy modern, highly technical cuisine operated by an absolutely talented chef. All the dishes we tried are beautiful for the eyes and interesting for the palate, aimed at enhancing a very chosen raw material of the territory with perfectly balanced pairings, to which are added appetizing Nordic citations, such as fermentations, and valuable oriental excursions. Gianni Spegis's cuisine seems to us with each vis...

Razzo is a young, ambitious Restaurant born in Turin in 2019 with the purpose of impressing with technical and creative fusion cuisine accompanied by natural, organic and biodynamic wines in an informal setting with casual service. The cozy and informal environment is played on dark tones that set off the small tables well lit by LED spotlights. Razzo is perhaps as close as you can get to a New York eatery in the city of Turin. You will experience extremely personal, technical and innovative cuisine, bold in its combinations, in a small, very trendy setting frequented by a cosmopolitan clientele. Young Chef Niccolò Giugni has very clear ideas about how to work and how to present uncompromisingly selected raw material, and the result is that dishes come out of his small kitchen that tantalize the curiosity and amaze the palate.

You can read about Ca' Vittoria and its refined hospitality in our extensive report in lemilleUnanotte; here we will deal only with the restaurant. The large solid-wood portal facing the main street is framed by exposed brickwork. Already upon entering you will be struck by the elegant and atmospheric interior, with polished grit floors and vaulted brick ceilings. The first room, soon to be transformed into a cozy living room, serves as an antechamber from which to watch the kitchen at work. At the back stands a magnificent Austrian imperial sideboard from the late 1700s. The new dining room is a vast, bright veranda played on the contrast between light tones and the wooden coffered ceiling. Niches with natural lichens stand out there. When we talk about Ca' Vittoria, one cannot help but recall a past of three generations united by the same passion and the sole desire to approach perfection. It was a traditional and curated cuisine that could also boast as a feather in it...

Il Moncalvo Restaurant is located in the historic center of Acqui Terme between the striking Romanesque walls of Santa Maria Abbey. The interior of the restaurant is very classic, warm and cozy, tastefully furnished. The restaurant consists of two air-conditioned dining rooms, the second of which houses a selection of the 400 labels on the menu on the back wall. Il Moncalvo stands at the top of Aquitaine dining scene for the beauty of the location, the quality of the cuisine and the warmth of the welcome. Chef Luca Guidetti offers modern cuisine that is moderately creative, clean and well-calibrated in its combinations, but also cautious and prudent in view of the changes taking place. We appreciated the quality and freshness of the raw material and the combinations of flavors, textures and temperatures, which also play on contrasts. Do you want to post your comment?

Incontro Restaurant & Drink is located in Milan, in the central area. The restaurant's interiors are modern, cozy, and marked by clever use of space, thanks to a very enjoyable mezzanine created above the bar counter. The two adjoining dining rooms running the length of the restaurant are furnished with parquet floors, wood-beamed ceilings, and comfortable blue alcantara chairs serving wide tables. That of the young Chef Ivan Mancin is a contemporary cuisine with ideas and solidity that comes from the daily confrontation with his partner and friend Federico Anibaldi and is expressed through the choice of raw material of uncompromising quality worked in respect of tradition, to enhance the flavors of the territory and play with scents, colors and contrasts. One drinks well, and above all, one savors the original Cocktails created with the use of Gin produced in-house. Do you want to post your comment? Make yourself the Critic on the Blog!

Madonna della Neve, Ristorante Albergo since 1952, is a treasured address where one does not happen by chance. Situated in a secluded location among the hills of the Langa Astigiana, the restaurant is part of the small complex that includes the old farmhouse, which has been completely renovated, with its 9 guest rooms, and the small church of the "Madonna della Neve" shrine. The rustic and simple interiors, those of an old tavern that has never disavowed its identity and roots by focusing all energy on the authenticity of the cuisine, unfold into 2 vast dining rooms with large "Langhe view" windows. The Madonna della Neve restaurant has always represented one of our "destinations of the heart," a special address that is worth a special trip, both to relax and to enjoy respectable traditional cuisine, enriched by the excitement of tasting some unforgettable dishes, from agnolotti del plin to curdunà to masterfully cooked game.
