Bino - Savona

Bino Restaurant enjoys a privileged location inside the Museum of Ceramics in Savona, in a very central area, right in front of the Bishop's Curia buildings. Crossing the threshold, the rooms are very bright and modern, the result of a tastefully done renovation. Thanks to its very special location, the venue lends itself to hosting artistic and cultural exhibitions, as well as events of interest and prestige in which cuisine and food culture are the protagonists. The restored work by Agenore Fabbri, "The Birth of Ceramics," stands out in the small room at the back, while numerous contemporary works have been placed on the shelves in the entrance area. The dining area is divided into a long, rectangular-shaped room, which is followed by a smaller, more intimate room. The look is modern and informal, with the predominance of light colors and blazing lights. With the Bino Restaurant, Chef Giuseppe Ricchebuono has also confirmed his entrepreneurial foresig...

Trattoria Zappatori - Pinerolo (TO)

Christian Milone's Trattoria Zappatori is based in the center of Pinerolo in a historic late 18th-century building.
Crossing the driveway located under the porches, here is the inner courtyard with the zen garden next to the entrance.
Having walked down a short corridor onto which face, in order, the intimate small room for small convivial gatherings, the kitchen with "Table d'Hôte" and the charming Cantina, here is the elegant dining room in half-light, which enjoys an intimate and relaxing atmosphere.
The ambiance is warm and well-kept, with elegant parquet floors, exposed brick portions, frescoed vaulted ceilings supported by columns, and designer tables and chairs.
Lighting is provided by hanging spotlights on each table, illuminating only these.
Christian Milone's is a signature cuisine that impresses with the sharpness and cleanliness of each dish, to which is added, for those who can grasp it, a tangible sense of loving care devoted to each presentation.
Christian has always had an innate ability to make every ingredient noble by enhancing its primary flavors; he has always abhorred the term "create" because "it is Nature that creates and we are at Nature's service"; he has always put the absolute quality of the raw material first.
All this has made him a critically award-winning chef and on a steady ascent to the starry firmament. Then, a terrible accident.
The "aftermath" has given us back a different Christian, more mature, reflective and aware, a man who sees life and success from a different, almost Zen-like perspective...
We could call him a lucky guy, even though Fate has reserved for him a fate that has changed his character and approach dramatically.
Our advice is to run to Pinerolo to taste a very original artist's cuisine with lots of vegetable ingredients but not vegetarian, textural, aesthetic and faceted... You will be amazed and delighted, as we always have been since we have known Christian!
