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.

LangOtto Ristorante - Novello (CN)

LangOtto is the name of Chef Otto Lucà's gourmet restaurant in Novello, in the heart of the Langhe.
The restaurant has been customized with a few well-calibrated touches.
We like the sign with the stylized plate for the "O" and the double meaning of the word "Novello," which can be interpreted as a place or an adjective.
The rectangular dining room, nicely decorated with modern artwork throughout, overlooks the Novello vineyards through windows and small balconies. The tables are few and well spaced, and with low candlelight, the atmosphere is warm and romantic.
The outdoor space is used in warm weather with a dehors on the small square and with equipment on the 3 small balconies.
Langhe and Piedmontese dishes cooked with French techniques: this is the summary of what you will find at LangOtto, an excellent Langa restaurant run by a young, ambitious, talented and motivated chef.
Starting with an impeccable foie gras (for which we refer you to the previous report), there are many dishes to remember, which are also being renewed at a rapid pace.
Otto Lucà possesses, in addition to the most modern techniques, a not inconsiderable gift of balance, which leads him to cook calibrated dishes, built on great raw materials with simple and precise ideas.
A detail that we like to note is the serving of dishes that are always very hot in the dining room, a detail that is not always obvious but that can make all the difference.
Elisa Andreotti's input in the dining room is crucial in matching the dishes with a very well-rounded cellar.
