Ristorante Andrea Larossa - Torino

The Andrea Larossa restaurant, which moved to Turin in 2022 after years of success and recognition in Alba, enjoys a highly evocative location at the foot of the Turin hill. There are two entrances. The one from the private car park with direct access from Piazza Merano, a must and a real gem in the city, will take you directly to the dining room after you have parked your car. The interiors of the restaurant impress with the airiness and elegance of the spaces. The rooms of a former bowling alley have been renovated with great taste, giving life to a spectacular structure which is divided into a large dining room blazing with light overlooked by a second raised room with an open kitchen like a balcony, where some privileged tables are hosted from which to follow the movements of the Chef and his Brigade.

IO Luigi Taglienti - Piacenza

IO is Luigi Taglienti's gourmet restaurant in the heart of Piacenza.
The name IO is not an expression of self-aggrandizement on the part of the chef, but rather an emphasis on the project of putting the guest's comfort first, in a place that, as we shall see, has an almost mystical aura.
The restaurant is an integral part of Volumnia, the scenic exhibition space created by IO partner Enrica de Micheli in the deconsecrated and restored church of Sant'Agostino.
The restaurant, a natural extension of this place of art, is located in the old carpentry workshop of the church, with the Moon pendant lamp by Davide Groppi dominating the dining room.
Luigi Taglienti is the author of a cuisine of great refinement, which could be summed up as great Italian cuisine with a French twist.
We, who have followed the chef through so many stages of his career, have found on each visit one of the best cuisines in our memory, with multiple facets: contemporary and avant-garde, but also classical and traditional, calibrated, rich in quotations and games of textures, temperatures, balances and contrasts, accelerations and decelerations...
All with a "state of the art" technique that makes even the most complex preparations seem simple.
And what about Luigi Taglienti's sauces? Try them to understand what we are talking about!
We drank beautifully, with a rich combination of Pavese and Piacentino wines.
