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.

Trattoria Visconti - Ambivere (BG)

The Trattoria Visconti is an intimate and welcoming restaurant located in the historical center of Ambivere, a small town a few kilometers from Bergamo.
The Regione Lombardia (Lombardy Region) has recognized the Trattoria Visconti as a "Historical Establishment"; the Visconti family has been directly managing it for three generations, taking care to model tradition with the evolution of taste.
The manor house is located next to the ancient medieval tower, in front of which there is a well-kept vegetable garden flanked by a large gravel area where parking is convenient.
The Trattoria Visconti is a founder and member of the Premiate Trattorie Italiane.
Once inside the gate, the front door opens right next to the hedges that border the garden.
From the arched doorway, through the reception hall, you enter the restaurant.
They are spacious and well-kept, full of warmth and atmosphere, with ochre and cream tiled floors, light-colored walls and many niches and cupboards.
We have been visiting the Trattoria Visconti regularly for the past three years, and with each visit our enthusiasm grows.
It is undoubtedly one of the best addresses in Lombardy, offering a refined and carefully prepared local cuisine, made with certified ingredients of the highest quality.
The path taken by Fiorella and Giorgio has found an enthusiastic follower in their son Daniele, promoter of many concrete initiatives and, as sommelier, creator of an intelligent and thoughtful evolution of the Cantina, which today can be defined as "resounding", and in their son Roberto, now chef, the continuity of a careful search for raw materials and special care in the preparation, cooking and presentation of the dishes.
The customers are fascinated and stimulated by theme evenings, meetings with producers, hosts, friends and winemakers, well signalled by a clear and complete website.
