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.

Il Cascinalenuovo - Isola d'Asti (AT)

Il Cascinalenuovo, Walter and Roberto Ferretto's gastronomic restaurant immersed in the Asti countryside, member of Le Soste since 1995, boasts almost 60 years of activity.
Since 1968, the years in which the Ferretto parents operated, many things have changed: in addition to the total renovation of the rooms, there was a drastic reduction in the number of seats, to offer a superior quality service and a refined gastronomic offer.
Once through the entrance door, we are immersed in the warm atmosphere of one of the renowned temples of Piedmontese fine dining, with light colours, parquet floors, contemporary art on the walls: a tasteful entrance, a worthy antechamber of a vast and well-kept dining room, furnished with the same criteria, illuminated by large, original floral-shaped fabric ceiling lights and curved stem lamps on the tables.
Cascinalenuovo is part of that small circle of gastronomic venues that anyone curious about Haute Cuisine should visit to enrich their baggage with an experience of the highest level and to draw emotions from it.
Walter Ferretto is the author of a refined regional cuisine in which the great Piedmontese classics have the space they deserve, accompanied by fish dishes, all interpreted with class and mastery. A Chef capable of blending the tradition of great Piedmontese cuisine with innovation in a balanced way.
Gabriele Bianco, who grew up in the kitchen next to him, represents a breath of fresh air and creativity with his own personal menu that he experiments with without ever falling into excess.
The meeting of these two different souls has given a further boost to the appeal of the venue, which we continue to consider exciting.
