Agua Bistro' del Mare - Bordighera (IM)

Agua Bistro' del Mare was born in 2009 from an offshoot of "La Via Romana", where chef Pino Franzé had obtained the coveted Michelin star. The first location in the Sant'Ampelio bathing establishment was subsequently moved to the beautiful seaside promenade, which today it overlooks with a pleasant terrace. The interiors are divided into a single airy room, with modern furnishings and marble floors. The terrace with sea view is a fundamental resource during the summer. Pino Franzé's is a very fresh fish cuisine, treated with simplicity, harmony and elegance: tasty, rich and inviting dishes, which satisfy the appetite and invite you to return. A cuisine made with the use of impeccable but also accessible quality materials, a reflection of the daily availability of the market and the fish. Also on this occasion we awarded Agua Bistro' del Mare the 2025 Convivium parchment which attests to its excellence in the quality of its cuisine and hosp...

Armonia - Alba (CN)











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 fix it immediately.

Believe us, as "talent scouts" we are unlikely to make mistakes: Antonio Armentano will become a successful name and his address will be on the agenda of passionate gourmets, even in a "difficult" place like that of Alba.

For the moment, Antonio works alone in the kitchen, so the timing of the service may not be that of a Swiss watch: indulge and you will be rewarded with a great gastronomic journey that will make you want to come back, greedy for this mix of simplicity, experimentation, personality and refinement...

We drank very well and discovered some real southern delicacies.
