Convivium

"Because good food does not have to be a luxury..." This is how Licia Casella's restaurant presents itself, in a beautiful location on the Ospedaletti waterfront. The small dining room, which in the warm season finds ample space in the open air on the Promenade a Mare, is characterized by "retro" floors with decorated tiles, exposed stone walls and blackboards with beautiful mottos in Ligurian dialect. The main dehors overlooks the new promenade, complemented by another small space just in front of the entrance. Come a Casa is a simple restaurant that has always offered excellent express cuisine, using only the best ingredients, fresh from the market every day. A wise choice and a harbinger of success, pursued with such passion by the owner Licia Casella, who has always known how to rely on first-rate chefs: on this occasion we experienced the happy hand of Antonio Crisci, with a prestigious resume.

In the wooded hills of Roccaverano, at the end of a road that is easy to follow but not so easy to find, you will find Borghetto La Radice. The farmhouse, resulting from the restoration of old rural buildings with exposed stone and wood, is neat and welcoming. The large dining room, with a whole wall opening onto the garden, is made of wood and stone and is very pleasant. Borghetto La Radice is a reality far from the usual itineraries of well-known names, not very easy to reach, but absolutely worth considering. It is an agriturismo that is first and foremost a farm, which means that all the fruit and vegetables on the menu come from the farm's own garden. Even the cheeses and wines all come from local farms that share the same idea of quality and sustainability of raw materials. The dishes are very well thought out, with technique and taste for the arrangements, organic ingredients and fine combinations of flavors. Do you want to post your comment?

Armonia is the new fine dining restaurant recently opened in the heart of Alba, a stone's throw from Via Roma and Piazza Michele Ferrero. The restaurant is large and modern. The interior is pleasant, with well-chosen colors and well-spaced round tables. The ceilings stand out, enlivened by ellipsoidal light fixtures. The modern steel kitchen is partially visible through the opal glass of the serving hatch. With Antonio Armentano and his restaurant Armonia, Alba has a new star. Clear ideas, personality, talent and a happy hand are the main characteristics of this young chef who comes from the south and knows how to surprise us. Young, shy and reserved, with two wide open eyes that enchant, almost on tiptoe, he shows you such an impressive and unexpected journey that you will ask yourself: "But where has this cook been hiding? Why has no one spoken of him?" We, who love discoveries and who know how to recognize a quality cuisine, full of content and well presented, will...
