Bino - Savona

Bino Restaurant enjoys a privileged location inside the Museum of Ceramics in Savona, in a very central area, right in front of the Bishop's Curia buildings. Crossing the threshold, the rooms are very bright and modern, the result of a tastefully done renovation. Thanks to its very special location, the venue lends itself to hosting artistic and cultural exhibitions, as well as events of interest and prestige in which cuisine and food culture are the protagonists. The restored work by Agenore Fabbri, "The Birth of Ceramics," stands out in the small room at the back, while numerous contemporary works have been placed on the shelves in the entrance area. The dining area is divided into a long, rectangular-shaped room, which is followed by a smaller, more intimate room.

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.
