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.

Ristorante Castello - Santa Vittoria d'Alba (CN)

Ristorante Castello is based within the scenic Castle complex of Santa Vittoria d'Alba, which looks out as if from a balcony over the Langhe landscape.
Its location is charming and classy, at the end of a scenic pedestrian walkway that climbs right up beside the castle.
Past the reception lounge, the staircase leading to the Events Room reserved for ceremonies and the opaline partition-window, here is the main dining room, a warm and welcoming room with terracotta floors, walls partly with exposed brick portions and vaulted ceilings.
Lighting is provided by halogen wall sconces, supplemented by furnishing lamps, spotlights and suspended cylindrical elements.
Paolo Decio, coming from the great school of Ugo Alciati, is a trained and motivated chef with a deep-rooted conviction that in one of the most beautiful and scenic places in the Langa, modern cuisine but always well anchored in tradition is a winner.
To this is added the offer of some more creativity-oriented preparations, with some successful experiments in repurposing and adapting something of his Lombard origins.
