The dining area consists of a long rectangular room followed by a smaller, more intimate room. The look is modern and informal, with a predominance of light colors and bright lights.

Camùri - Ragusa Ibla

Image
Camùri #cucinappassionata is located in the heart of Ragusa Ibla, just a few steps from the beautiful Hyblaean Garden. As its name says in Sicilian dialect, it is a place where people cook "with love". The interior of the restaurant is the result of a careful restoration in a modern key of the ancient building. The outdoor terrace overlooks the very central Corso XXV Aprile, the pedestrian heart of Ibla. At the Camùri restaurant we experienced and got to know an authentic and refined Sicilian cuisine, made with passion and love, with the search and use of ingredients of recognized authenticity, often rare and niche. What a miracle to taste the most representative specialties of this land, prepared in such a resounding way that we repeatedly exclaimed "that so good we had not yet tasted! A cuisine that is also very technical and modern, where necessary, to give that lightness that is essential for modern palates. The chef Federico Rizzo and his partner a...

Il Principe di Belludia is the fine dining restaurant of the magnificent Sicilian luxury resort Il San Corrado di Noto, a Relais & Châteaux luxury property that lemilleUnanotte has written extensively about. To reach the dining room, you pass through some of the resort's common areas, and once inside, you pass by the picturesque Cantina, which can be seen through the large windows.

Southern influences are complemented by homages to the Langhe, through exaggerated elaborations supported by a solid and mature techn...

The room and the wood-fired oven for wonderful pizzas are a single open space protected by side windows that look directly onto the resort's immense main pool, a veritable lagoon that at night takes on a magical, fairytale atmosphere. The Osteria Casa Pasta is a light and informal corner in a spectacular setting of refined elegance where you can enjoy typical Sicilian cuisine. The aim, perfectly achieved, is to bring to the tables of the lucky guests the enveloping and irresistible taste of street food, to evoke an explosion of images in the mouth and to evoke ancestral sensations. The absolute protagonist is the Mediterranean, from trinacria to other suggestions of southern Italy, such as gourmet pizza and other recipes that have characterized Magna Graecia since its origins. The setting, of incom...

Luna - Sinio (CN)

Image
Ristorante Luna is a typical Langa trattoria recently taken over by partners Mirco Mollo and Maurizio Paglierino, both of whom have previous experience in the restaurant business. The interior is characterized by a crackling fireplace and wood furnishings. Customers can enjoy the two upper rooms we photographed, complemented by a very large lounge downstairs. Ristorante Luna is a fine restaurant in the Langhe, with a cuisine that is both modern and traditional, and that fascinates from the moment you read the menu, thanks to the amusing names of the dishes. During the tasting you will be surprised by the creativity of many combinations and you will be convinced by the quality of the preparation. The wine list is very good, thanks to the excellent cellar that Vittorio Belrosso runs with passion. Do you want to post your comment? Make yourself the Critic on the Blog! Post your comment:

Moda Venue - Monforte d'Alba (CN)

Image
The restaurant Moda Venue is characterized by a cuisine with a fresh personality that, in a Langhe context such as Monforte d'Alba, has sought to flank traditional dishes with a series of contemporary preparations of markedly Latino inspiration, thanks to the inspired hand of the young chef Francesco Costantini. The result, original and surprising, deserves the highest attention. The success of a multi-regional experience of measured, pleasing eccentricity is enhanced by the atmospheric setting and the attentive, efficient service. The drinks are very good, thanks to a dynamic and well-managed cantina. Do you want to post your comment? Make yourself the Critic on the Blog! Post your comment:
