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.

Sole by Stefano Mattara - Brunate (CO)

Located at the highest point of the magnificent Nuvole Garden Hotel, about which you will find an extensive report in lemilleUnanotte, the Sole by Stefano Mattara restaurant represents its unmissable "fine dining" offering with the added bonus of spectacular views of Como and the Swiss Alps. You can get there by car or by a spectacular 7-minute funicular ride from downtown Como.
All the interiors were designed by Zoltan Varro, a bold and visionary designer deeply connected to Lake Como, who wanted to dedicate a corner of heaven here to the star food. Furniture, accessories and dreamlike elements are the tools that accompany visitors on the sensory journey offered by the restaurant.
At Ristorante Sole by Stefano Mattara we had a truly rich and stimulating gastronomic experience, cerebral and full of surprises, in an absolutely unique setting of refined elegance seasoned by a spectacular panoramic view.
Stefano Mattara's cuisine is modern, cultured and refined, with a focus on the territory and its products, even the less common ones, such as some unobtainable freshwater fish.
One notices a hand accustomed to dealing with the material and elaborating dishes from a superior perspective, with that aura that can only be perceived in true champions; a pupil of the great Gualtiero Marchesi, he has made his way through many different experiences, from taverns to fine dining. We drank divinely, with a pairing of great depth, harmony and elegance, thanks to the magnificently thoughtful choices of Maître and Sommelier Cristiano Mariani, who followed us through the tasting process.
