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.

Il Trittico Osteria - Alba (CN)











Il Trittico Osteria is based in Alba, the heart of the Langhe and home of the White Truffle Fair, in the historic center.

It draws its name from its three very young founding friends, Mirko and Chiara, partners in life, and Andrea.


You will be welcomed by Chiara Abbate, a hostess of exquisite manners.

The interior, which has been entirely renovated, unfolds in large, bright, essential spaces with very well matched hues.


The atmosphere is young, modern and "casual" (but cared for in every detail), the kitchen is the natural evolution, with migration from the home stove to a venue open to the public, of a small workshop of passionate connoisseurs for its own equally passionate audience of connoisseurs.

Since all preparations are grafted onto a base of Langhe tradition, do not expect daring or surprising experimentation, but rather a search for clean, sharp and precise flavors, never wanting to overdo, in perfect balance.

There is no shortage of playing with textures and contrasting flavors, with acidic and oriental notes giving the dishes those touches of personality that make them stand out, all in the name of balance and restraint.
