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.

La Molinella - Isolabona (IM)

La Molinella, the Moro family's farmhouse nestled in the hills among olive groves and woods, is located in Isolabona, a hamlet in the Ventimiglia hinterland on the road to Pigna.
The complex, overlooking a large, well-kept garden, consists of two separate buildings, one housing the restaurant with a veranda and the other a small house with two comfortable apartments equipped with kitchens.
Once you have passed through the entrance with its bar area, you will find yourself in a pleasant indoor lounge with pastel-colored walls.
The atmosphere is like a small bonbonniere.
The walls are decorated with old vintage photos of Isolabona and the surrounding area.
The tables are spaced apart and tastefully set.
The lighting is provided by designer chandeliers and wall lights.
At La Molinella we enjoyed a rustic and genuine cuisine, centered on the most typical local recipes with the use of first-rate products. The place is pleasant, the welcome familiar and friendly, the recipes simple but convincing.
