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.

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.
