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.

Locanda Borgo Vecchio - Neive (CN)

Locanda Borgo Vecchio is located in the heart of the beautiful old village of Neive, with an overall offer, gastronomic and hotel, of the highest level.
The entrance to the Restaurant and the entrance to the Inn with panoramic suites are adjacent: to access the dining rooms one descends a short flight of steps or, from inside, by elevator. As soon as you cross the threshold you are struck by the understated elegance of the rooms, which are modern, warm and atmospheric, with a pleasant touch of rusticity.
Prominent at the entrance are the vintage Vespa and the dazzling wall-mounted display cases with spirits.
Just beyond the bar area is a panoramic sitting room with a privileged view of the beautiful hills of Neive.
The rectangular-development dining room is furnished in warm pastel tones, with tables apareculated with checkered planks served by comfortable chairs with leather backs and seats.
At Locanda Borgo Vecchio, we had a rich and stimulating gastronomic experience of the area in a comfortable and atmospheric setting.
Valter Casetta is a forward-thinking entrepreneur who understood in which direction the cuisine of establishments like his is moving...
And so, anticipating the times, he decided to return to a sophisticated simplicity, re-presenting what used to be La Donna Selvatica in a more easy and informal guise and revising the menus in a more stringent traditional perspective, without all but disowning some of the great dishes that have made the restaurant's history.
Gabriele Piscitelli's cooking is always a guarantee: without unnecessary flights of fancy, he gives his best in traditional preparations, executed to perfection.
You can delight in unforgettable tajarin, or cuts of meat that don't need the knife.
We drank excellently, tasting some of the magnificent Cru from the hills that you can almost touch from the terrace!
