Antica Osteria dei Cameli - Ambivere (BG)

Image
The Antica Osteria dei Cameli restaurant, located in the center of Ambivere in the Bergamo area, dates back to 1856 when an ancestor of the Rota family purchased the property from the Curia to establish a simple village inn and shop. The building faces a flower-filled, cobbled courtyard, which also houses a summer terrace. Today, a convenient charging station for electric Porsches is also available. There are two dining rooms, each with its own distinct personality. Let's first look at the modern one, furnished in light tones, with parquet floors, fine rugs, and large, well-spaced tables. The medieval hall retains coffered ceilings supported by massive beams and an entire wall in exposed stone. Crossing the threshold of the Antica Osteria dei Cameli means indulging in a high-class experience: here, the elegant surroundings frame a cultured, lively, and never boring cuisine. Loredana Vescovi's skill enchants with the sensitivity with which she meticulously cal...

Image
The Casa Vicina restaurant, Tradizione Contemporanea, recently returned to its homeland after many years of recognition in Turin. Housed inside the 3T Boutique Hotel in Ivrea, just below the medieval castle, the restaurant will welcome you in a contemporary and elegant space. Having returned to its roots in Ivrea, Casa Vicina confirms its position as a key destination for fine, signature cuisine.

In the dining room, Anna Mastroianni Vicina's presence goes far beyond the impeccable art of hospitality: she is the industrious mind behind the dessert pastries and exceptional fresh homemade pastas, a true cornerstone of the menu. The service, fluid and personalized, almost...

Tracce, Villa La Bollina - Serravalle Scrivia (AL)

Tracce is the fine dining restaurant of the Hotel Villa La Bollina, an elegant luxury residence located in a strategic position among the hills and vineyards of Gavi, right next to the park of the La Bollina Golf Club and a very short distance from the shopping at the Serravalle Outlet. Once you cross the threshold of the historic eighteenth-century villa, the restaurant led by Chef Davide Giovinazzo will welcome you in an environment of character with its floors in fine marble and elegant boiserie on the walls. The terrace enjoys spectacular views. Davide Giovinazzo does not cook to amaze with laboratory artifices, but to tell an intimate truth, made up of a double belonging that is reflected in the dish: the learned and greedy Bologna of origin and the sweet and fruity breath of the Caribbean. What distinguishes this table, already unique for the sense of cohesion that runs through the entire journey, is the total adherence to an ethic of respect, far from any faca...

El Argentino is the restaurant of the Mazzeo family, who were already involved in gastronomy in Argentina, forced to move to Italy in 2002 to escape the then terrible living conditions in their country of origin.

Timo Bistrot is the restaurant of Casa del Monte, a magnificent new resort created from an ancient fortress on the slopes of the hill overlooking Albenga.

"The Thyme Garden" is a vast terrace reserved for aperitifs at sunset. Among centuries-old olive trees and Mediterranean plants, the gaze is lost on the sea with the Island of Gallinara in the foreground. The exteriors represent the true heart of the venue: an open-air lounge, the place of choice for summer evenings immersed in a relaxed atmosphere. You can access it directly by lift from the Reception floor, first encountering the room with the bar counter, and, in front of this, the air-conditioned cellar, which in turn can host small convivial meetings.
