Velvet Bistrò Lounge - Bordighera (IM)

Velvet Bistrò Lounge is located in Bordighera, a stone's throw from the sea. It has always been a trendy place, captivating for its "cosy" and relaxing atmosphere, for its cocktails and aperitifs. Under the management of Licia Casella, an infallible flair for spotting talent in the kitchen, the restaurant has progressively enriched its image with a growing profile which today has reached its peak with the presence of a champion like Massimo Viglietti. At the entrance, a beautiful serving counter, the refrigerated wine cellar and a conversation corner with an old-fashioned leather sofa introduce an environment of refined relaxation. Since the 2024, on our first visit, Velvet Bistrò Lounge already presented itself as a trendy Cocktail-Bar with Restaurant, enjoyable from early evening to after dinner, where the consumption of an excellent aperitif encouraged us to continue the experience with a series of "fine dining" style dishes...

Quintilio - Altare (SV)

Quintilio, restaurant and inn since 1895, overlooks the main road of the town of Altare (a town in the Savona hinterland famous for glass, to which a museum is dedicated) a few hundred meters away from the Turin-Savona motorway toll booth.
The restaurant, which has more than 120 years of history, over the many years of operation has become one of the cornerstones of good cuisine in the Ligurian hinterland, increasingly renowned among gourmets. Today it is a truly refined fine-dining establishment which, despite the renovation, has retained a very strong identity.
The main dining room is modern and welcoming, elegant and minimalist. A second dining room, in which a notable collection of bottles is displayed, can be used for small groups who desire greater privacy.
Quintilio undoubtedly represents an obligatory choice to taste splendid cuisine from the Ligurian hinterland enriched by many Langa influences in a cozy and comfortable environment.
Among the proposals, there is no shortage of preparations of a high level of difficulty, such as foie gras, made with a happy hand: the restaurant therefore has all it takes to be worth a special trip by every gourmet enthusiast in search of quality and substance.
For us, Quintilio is a real "institution" of absolute excellence, for the excellent quality-price ratio, the cuisine and the exquisite hospitality.
We renewed the Convivium Award for Excellence for the quality of cuisine and hospitality to Chef Luca Bazzano and his wife and Sommelier Lorena Germano.
