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.

Casa Lanzafame - Carmagnola (TO)

Casa Lanzafame, a Sicilian fish restaurant, is located in Carmagnola, in a restricted traffic area accessible until dinner time.
The exterior does not go unnoticed, vast and blazing with lights. The ancient 16th century building has been the subject of a careful and tasteful renovation.
The rectangular main dining room overlooks the exteriors with large windows on one side and the internal courtyard on the other.
The spaces are pleasant and well furnished. The side facing the kitchens hosts a couple of "table d'hôte" tables from which to watch the preparations and plating.
In the charming outdoor area equipped with umbrellas you can relax with an aperitif. There is the aromatarium, rich, tidy and well cared for, a great resource for the kitchen.
Casa Lanzafame will amaze you with authentic cuisine featuring the freshest fish, expertly treated.
The "Cunto di Mare", a course of appetizers made of delicious crudités alternating with well-studied cooking and combinations, will be the original introduction to an "all fish" meal with a strong Sicilian regional connotation.
You will drink well, and the advice is to let yourself be guided to discover some niche labels to pair with your dishes.
The service is familiar and attentive; we don't hesitate to call it loving.
