Marco Polo - Ventimiglia (IM)

The Marco Polo restaurant, run for three generations by the Pani family, is located in a beautiful seafront position on the Ventimiglia promenade. The place is unmistakable: a building entirely made of wood, like a chalet, which stands out among the other signs of the beach establishments. The interiors are also completely made of wood: the overall atmosphere, warm and welcoming, may initially amaze with its originality in the context. The entrance precedes the two dining rooms. The main one has a rectangular plan, well-spaced tables and overlooks the private beach through large windows and a French door. In the kitchen there is Diego Pani, a young and concrete chef. Among his experiences, the kitchens of Vittorio Beltramelli, Joël Robuchon, Guy Savoy and three years at Louis XV in Monte Carlo together with Alain Ducasse.

L'Erbi - Villar Perosa (TO)

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 the restaurant is to welcome the customer even if only for the consumption of a beer at the table, knowing full well that the sight of the cutting boards and incoming dishes will tickle him to turn the stop into a full meal...
Thanks to Joel Ramirez's Argentine origins in the kitchen, the grilled meats on tasting enjoy a state-of-the-art cooking technique.
