Convivium

The Ortica restaurant is an integral part of Tenuta Golfo Paradiso, an ambitious project that brings together a farm, a gourmet restaurant and a super-easy and very "trendy" "hotel" offer of overnight stays in a "StarsBox" bed under the stars. Once you enter, you will immediately be enchanted by the splendid covered veranda which boasts an unparalleled panoramic view from Punta Chiappa to the French Riviera, with a view of Corsica on the clearest days. L'Ortica boasts great terroir cuisine, ennobled by an obsessive search for great indigenous produce, centered on BBQ coals, produce from the estate's garden, and the scents of its own aeroponic cultivation. It is an approach focused on ethics and sustainability, with a Resident Chef, Simone Lolli, who knows the raw material very well and knows how to handle it at its best. We have long appreciated his hand and technique, making him one of the best and emerging chefs. The confronta...

L'Erbi, Birreria, Vineria e Cucina Casalinga, is based in Villar Perosa, a verdant resort town in the Chisone Valley in the province of Turin. To reach it, you'll drive along a wonderful tree-lined avenue that climbs up the hillside, flanked by the well-tended lawns that surround what was for years the holiday residence of the Agnelli family. L'Erbi is a historic village eatery, a reference point for a clientele of “habitués,” to which the new management of Manuel Bouchard and his partner and friend Joel Ramirez has given a decisive swerve toward authentic cuisine, as “poor” as it is refined, complemented by a fine Cantina full of local goodies. We have found an almost maniacal care in the selection of small and very small Producers of excellence for each of the raw materials used and for the labels in the Cellar, which together with the skills of the kitchen give life to extremely enjoyable dishes that are accompanied by good drinking. The philosophy of t...

The Connubio restaurant is located in Turin in the Crocetta area, easy to reach and with good parking possibilities. His name evokes the project of intertwining tastes and aromas, tradition and modernity, which animates the young Chef Paolo Cecchi and his wife Ianira. The single room, integrated with an enjoyable dehors to be used during the summer, has a rectangular layout and light tones. The tables with wooden sheets drowned in resin are of great design, all unique pieces, served by chairs that are different from each other. Paolo Cecchi is a young and talented chef, with very clear ideas on how to propose a pleasant and personal contemporary cuisine, excellently played on references to the two culinary traditions that represent his cultural background, the Piedmontese and the Tuscan one. His dishes, often played on contrast, always use a few well-recognisable and equally well-harmonised ingredients, in the most authentic school of thought of the great Marchesi,...
