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.

Barolando - Barolo (CN)











Barolando, Restaurant and Wine Shop, is conveniently located in the center of Barolo. Impossible not to walk past it and not be drawn in by the menus displayed in plain sight.

Barolando's formula is that of a modern Osteria with typical local cuisine and great wines to match... But what an Osteria!

Mattia Negro has delighted us with a cuisine that is yes inspired by tradition, but is also of great personality and superb in its combinations.

A lively, ultra-modern cuisine, apparently simple because it uses few ingredients from the choicest raw materials, technically impeccable (see the perfect cooking of the risottos, which is not so obvious to find), and executed with a lot of passion and application.

It is a formula that we judge to be a winning one as it is a harbinger of a complete and enjoyable tasting experience.
