Agua Bistro' del Mare - Bordighera (IM)

Agua Bistro' del Mare was born in 2009 from an offshoot of "La Via Romana", where chef Pino Franzé had obtained the coveted Michelin star. The first location in the Sant'Ampelio bathing establishment was subsequently moved to the beautiful seaside promenade, which today it overlooks with a pleasant terrace. The interiors are divided into a single airy room, with modern furnishings and marble floors. The terrace with sea view is a fundamental resource during the summer. Pino Franzé's is a very fresh fish cuisine, treated with simplicity, harmony and elegance: tasty, rich and inviting dishes, which satisfy the appetite and invite you to return. A cuisine made with the use of impeccable but also accessible quality materials, a reflection of the daily availability of the market and the fish.

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.
