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.

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.
