Arburent, Osteria di Confine - Castelnuovo Scrivia (AL)

The name "Arburent" for the new "Osteria di Confine" by Federico Costa is a choice that encompasses the philosophy of the restaurant: an Osteria that celebrates the beauty of borders, understood not as separation, but as a union of traditions and flavors, and the multiple family roots of the Chef, who has grandparents from Val Borbera, Tortona, Lombardy and Veneto. The interiors of the venue are the result of a careful, radical renovation of the pre-existing hairdressing salon. The result is warm, welcoming and full of character, with bold but restful colours. Arburent is a pleasant modern tavern with a new generation concept. The cuisine of its Chef and owner Federico Costa is based on selected ingredients, seasonality and attention to detail.

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.
