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.

Archè Dennis Cesco - Piobesi d'Alba (CN)

Archè is the new restaurant of Dennis Cesco, a very talented young chef whom we have been following since his time at Villa d'Amelia. The location is in Piobesi d'Alba, in a building with very modern forms that will prove to be even more surprising inside.
Step through the front gate and you will be faced with a dazzling glass veranda surrounded by a lovely artificial turf garden, which hosts outdoor tables in summer. Great design for the interior as well, with lots of wood, including on the walls.
At Archè Restaurant, we experienced a beautiful contemporary fine dining itinerary in a real modern gem, unsuspected from the outside. Chef Dennis Cesco is here in his first proprietary Restaurant, where he is free to propose without constraints the cuisine he likes, made of original and personal combinations, and ingredients - never too many - always perfectly balanced.
We tasted a very current course that perfectly balances the many suggestions derived from the Chef's wealth of experience, who has encountered and made his own a world, especially Nordic, whose influence is increasingly important on contemporary Cuisine.
Dennis possesses technique, ideas, passion, and personality, which go hand in hand with innate measure and balance. He is one of the young and emerging Chefs we most appreciate for what he has to show, as well as for his modesty and gracious manners, to whom a future full of success is in store. We drank divinely, with a magnificent wine pairing, of exceptional harmony and elegance, the result of Federico Libra's passion and expertise.
