OrtOsteria René - Bastia (SV)

Located in Bastia, a very short distance from Albenga, the OrtOsteria René is the modern tavern created by BioVio with the aim of continuing the family tradition of hospitality and sharing the table and of passing on the most authentic peasant recipes through the valorisation of the products of the Albenga hinterland. The name OrtOsteria, a tribute to grandfather René, wants to remember the importance that the home garden had for every peasant family, from where the first fruits harvested were the true richness of the daily recipes.

Borgo Sant'Anna - Monforte d'Alba (CN)

Borgo Sant'Anna, located in a splendid hilly position in Monforte d'Alba Alba, is the ambitious and intriguing project of Chef Pasquale Laera, Apulian by birth, Piedmontese by adoption, to give concrete effect to his vision of catering, that of a authentic Langhe country cuisine.
A project that is fully implemented in this magnificent farmhouse surrounded by vineyards, which has undergone a radical renovation.
The interiors of the restaurant immediately appear warm and welcoming, with wooden floors, wooden ceilings and many design details.
The first room has its natural outlet in the splendid panoramic veranda which is its natural continuation, creating a unique environment with large perimeter windows.
The second room has its strong point in the spectacular open kitchen in black marble, which even overlooks it on two sides with spectacular windows.
The design chairs with patchwork fabric seats add a touch of colour.
We have known and esteemed Pasquale Làera and his cuisine for years now, it is logical that our expectations are increasingly higher from time to time: well, we can state with absolute conviction that with each visit we return more delighted! In his splendid restaurant in the Langa, Pasquale has achieved a balance and maturity that are certainly the result of a happy hand and constant application, but also of a condition of great serenity and love for his work.
His cuisine is a true hymn to the Great Italian Cuisine, with very frequent homages to that of the South and cultured citations of regional recipes, through refined preparations supported by a masterly technique.
Research and avant-garde, but also genuine tradition, come together here in a combination that is striking and imprinted in the memory, for an experience of depth that has few equals.
Thanks to Matteo Di Giovanni we drank wonderfully, with a pairing of food and wine of great depth, harmony and elegance.
