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.

Donatella Bistrot - Oviglio (AL)

Donatella Bistrot is located in Oviglio, an ancient town in the Alessandria region, between Monferrato and Langhe, with a charming castle. The interior of the restaurant, which is divided into a large rectangular room, is warm, welcoming and atmospheric, furnished with taste and originality.
In the warm season there is a pleasant terrace.
Donatella Bistrot is also Dispensa, to share with guests Donatella's food and wine discoveries around Italy.
Donatella Bistrot was a starred restaurant for 8 years until 2015, when it voluntarily gave up the recognition, out of a legitimate desire to cook for its clientele, especially the local ones, and not for awards.
Nevertheless, it is immediately noticeable that the cuisine, the ambience and the service have remained essentially the same as the one that had earned the star, certainly with some reduction in the richness of the table linen, but with much unchanged warmth and passion, which immediately come to the fore as the true and distinguishable soul of the restaurant.
All the dishes that come out of the kitchen are of exceptional quality, characterized by ingredients of uncompromising quality and delicious, centered pairings, in full respect of tradition and with a few very well dosed contemporary touches.
In Mauro's dishes you will find no flights of fancy, no oriental contamination and no concession to passing fashions, but a lot of taste, a lot of balance and a lot of substance.
It is simply amazing how much harmony and refinement Donatella, with her very elegant arrangements, manages to give to such generous portions that satisfy even the most demanding appetites without fear of contradiction!
The Cave is another must in the restaurant: beautiful, spacious and full of delicacies.
