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...

Casa Buono - Trucco (IM)

Casa Buono is the gastronomic jewel of Antonio Buono, for 6 years sous-chef to Mauro Colagreco at Mirazur in Menton, and his wife Valentina.
The restaurant is located 10 minutes by car from Ventimiglia, on the Colle di Tenda highway, strategically located near the highway junctions of Western Liguria and the French Riviera.
The interior of the restaurant, which since our last report has benefited from the addition of a new dining room, has few seats and informal-chic tones.
Crossing the threshold, you enter a small room with only three tables, which ends at the back with a designer bar (with original raised wine cellars) and the open kitchen.
An old stone millstone towers over the second small room, warm and welcoming.
To dine at Casa Buono is to pay a visit to a chef who in five years, directing the synchronized work of twenty chefs under his command, has been able to take the Mirazur restaurant in Menton to the roof of the world, achieving a third Michelin star and first place in "The World's 50 Best Restaurants" ranking.
Having clarified this detail, which far from belittling our friend Mauro Colagreco gives due credit to Antonio Buono, everything else goes without saying: you will dine in a small informal-chic gem with just a few place settings, pampered by a very young and close-knit kitchen and dining room brigade, with perfect timing and dishes you will remember for a long time.
The tasting itinerary is deliberately studied at the table, changing weekly following the offerings of the Ventimiglia market and proposing only the best of seasonal products with a careful selection of local raw material, possibly zero km.
Every day different dishes organized in a single menu proposal, a welcome, five courses (which with the "earth" proposal and cheeses can become seven) and lots of final pampering, with excellent value for money and a spectacular wine-pairing if you rely on Valentina and Simone's advice. Casa Buono is a reality from another planet landed in a hidden corner of Ventimiglia's hinterland.
