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. The look is modern and informal, with the predominance of light colors and blazing lights. With the Bino Restaurant, Chef Giuseppe Ricchebuono has also confirmed his entrepreneurial foresig...

Manuelina - Recco (GE)

After 137 years of business and the succession of four generations of owners, Manuelina has become a true institution for all lovers of good food, so much so that it is the first natural and immediate association with the name of the town of Recco.
Located in a decentralized position, just a few meters from the crossroads where the state road coming from the highway ends, Manuelina looks like an elegant Ligurian villa structured in several separate bodies: the restaurant, the Taste Hotel and the Focacceria Bistrot.
The entrances of the Taste Hotel and Restaurant and the Focacceria are opposite each other.
The interiors are full of eye-catching details, starting with the aquarium with shellfish and the kitchen visible through the glass window.
The large dining room has marble floors, a ceiling with large wooden beams and a collection of Piatti del Buon Ricordo, a circuit of which Manuelina is a member.
Since its inception in 1885, Manuelina's has become an inescapable place of worship for any true foodie.
If Recco's Focaccia al Formaggio is a rare treat to be sought out carefully, Manuelina's is definitely worth a special trip.
But beware. Manuelina is not only "la" Focaccia al Formaggio, but also a restaurant of terroir cuisine with flair - you'll realize this when you taste the legendary Pansotti or the rare Cappon Magro - and contemporary cuisine of impeccable quality, where you'll always find the freshest fish and shellfish.
The creative touches are there, but so well thought out and calibrated that they never detract from the feeling of tasting the best of the region, cooked to perfection.
The formula that has put hotel, restaurant and trendy focacceria side by side is definitely a winner and the result of a time-honored family tradition.
