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. The main one has a rectangular plan, well-spaced tables and overlooks the private beach through large windows and a French door. In the kitchen there is Diego Pani, a young and concrete chef. Among his experiences, the kitchens of Vittorio Beltramelli, Joël Robuchon, Guy Savoy and three years at Louis XV in Monte Carlo together with Alain Ducasse.

OrtOsteria René - Bastia (SV)

Located in Bastia, not far from Albenga, OrtOsteria René is the new "jewel" of BioVio, a modern osteria created with the intention of continuing the family tradition of hospitality and sharing the table, passing on the most authentic peasant recipes by improving the products of the Albenga hinterland.
The name is a tribute to grandfather René, who in the 90's created Il Torchietto, a very successful pizzeria-restaurant.
The cozy and atmospheric interiors show great taste in the combination of materials (stone, wood and brick) and in the choice of furnishings and lighting.
The main dining room continues at the back with a small room with a "table d'hôte" overlooking the glassed-in kitchen.
A floor-to-ceiling glass panel reveals the splendid small wine cellar, accessed by a ladder with a wrought-iron gate.
At OrtOsteria René we had a rich taste experience in a delightful country chic setting.
The cuisine is strictly traditional, with the peasant dishes of the Ligurian hinterland, made with the seasonal products of the OrtOsteria, which supplies the family farm, specializing in artichokes and aromatic herbs.
Accompanying the meal with exciting wines from the home winery, which enjoys the highest international reputation, Aimone made us drink divinely with a wide overview of his most representative wines.
If you want to enjoy the true scents and tastes of Liguria, surrounded by the warm hospitality of a family that is more than rare, a stop here is a must.
