Li Jalantuùmene - Monte Sant'Angelo (FG)

Li Jalantuùmene restaurant overlooks the characteristic Piazza de' Galganis, a sixteenth-century gem in the heart of the historic center of Monte Sant'Angelo, in the heart of the Gargano Park. The external walls with portions of light stone and the clean lines of the building integrate perfectly with the surrounding whiteness of the Junno district. The name of the restaurant, which in dialect means "The Gentlemen", is a true declaration of intent: to recall the elegance, honesty and elegance of times gone by, applying them to hospitality and service. Once you cross the threshold, the restaurant reveals its nature as a "home" characterized by a romantic and intimate atmosphere. Gegè Mangano is undoubtedly one of the most representative and charismatic chefs of Puglia, considered a true gastronomic ambassador of the Gargano.

Ca' del Profeta - Montaldo Scarampi (AT)

The story of this splendid Asti Relais with gourmet restaurant began in 2016 with the intuition of the Brazilian footballer Hernanes, then with Juventus, who saw the potential of what was then a ruin on the hillside, fell in love with it and decided to restore it.
He turned it into a "buen retiro" of warm hospitality, surrounded by his own vineyard: his home - Ca' del Profeta - to use the curious nickname given to him by a journalist who noticed that he often quoted the Bible in his interviews.
The small reception area at the entrance, from which the staircase leads to the upper floor with the rooms, is decorated with the first of the paintings by the artist Anna Vinzi, which you will also find in the hall.
The dining room runs the length of the room, with an entire wall of windows from which one can admire the outside with a beautiful panorama of the rolling hills of Asti.
The furnishings are refined and textured, of great design, with parquet floors and raw concrete ceilings.
Tradition, revisiting and deconstructing, creativity and lightness: these are the main "ingredients" of Antonio di Leo's cuisine, which surprised us with an exciting sensory journey full of suggestions and flavors.
We appreciated his hand in the treatment of vegetables and greens, all provided by the garden of Ca' del Profeta.
Antonio di Leo shows a use of vegetables that deserves applause.
The menu is rightly not extensive, but curious and appetizing.
A special mention for the food and wine pairing, conceived by Anderson Hernanes, owner and sommelier, who offered us a meaningful tasting path.
