Convivium

Ostu Bistrot, an establishment with a long tradition, is located in the heart of Savigliano, served by a convenient large parking lot in the immediate vicinity. The interior is modern and pleasant, with distinguishing elements such as vaulted brick ceilings. The single square room is complemented by the garden where tables are set under large umbrellas in summer. We were completely won over by Ostu Bistrot's fresh and modern cooking, which truly excels in its perfectly balanced flavors and combinations. Sol, who actually started from the bottom and worked her way up to take over the kitchen, shows off clear ideas and fantastic technique. Her dishes are full of personality and substance, and she's already getting great reviews from critics. When you combine that with Francesco's incredibly well-run dining room and wine program, Ostu Bistrot becomes an absolutely must-visit spot! Do you want to post your comment?

Radix Cucina Contemporanea is the new eatery opened by Chef Riccardo Portesi in Giaveno, a town in the Turin area not far from the Avigliana Lakes. From the entrance with counter, the rooms develop perimeterwise around the kitchen. The rooms are warm and well-kept, with some original details, such as the chandeliers. Riccardo Portesi's cuisine literally thrilled us. Having already known the chef in his previous experiences, we approached this new adventure of his with considerable expectations, all of which were abundantly exceeded. The imagination of the preparations, which is already expressed in the names (which intrigue and often make us smile), is combined with an uncommon technique, with a sense of measure and an attention to detail to be applauded. Nothing is left to chance, not even in the dining room, where Andrea Mauro proposes an original and well-thought-out food-wine pairing. Do you want to post your comment?

Tratto - cuisine - wines - hospitality - is located in the center of Turin. Tratto is a short, easy to remember name for a restaurant (and a sophisticated aperitif place) that wants to make its mark. The restaurant is the result of a radical renovation with extensive interior design work. The result is a modern, welcoming space with the distinctive feature of an entire wall dedicated to bottles, which themselves become elements of the design. Tratto's concept is the result of an ambitious project, with a fine dining line cleverly designed around the current operational possibilities of the kitchen, which is currently being expanded to meet the needs. The selection of dishes on the menu, certainly fascinating, already deserves applause. Whether you choose a few dishes accompanied by a selected glass for a gourmet aperitif, or opt for a complete tasting path with paired wines, you will be stimulated and satisfied. Chef Luca Tomaino's cuisine is inspired by th...

The Ant restaurant, located in Novello, three kilometers from Barolo, was born from the careful restoration of Cascina Gavetta, creating two apartments and a small restaurant in the historic center. Ant means "graft" in the Piedmontese dialect and perfectly sums up the project's philosophy of incorporating local products into creative international cuisine. Inside, the restaurant is very atmospheric: stone walls, low lighting, a few well-spaced wooden tables, one in front of the open kitchen, rock music in the background. Ant's is a fusion cuisine born from the desire to offer something new and unusual in a territory that has always been tied to tradition. The enthusiasm of an American chef and the passion of his Piedmontese partner have created a gastronomic blend of remarkable sensory, playful and textural impact that knows how to evoke emotions and memories with technique and creativity. At the heart of Alex Lincoln's cuisine is a constant co...

Aldivino Ristorante, "the scent of contemporary cuisine," is a small gem set in the large complex of Al Battibecco, a short distance from Perugia. The place immediately has a strong personality: the eccentric interior, which unfolds in a long theory of rooms and lounges, proves warm and pleasant. Next to the entrance is a small lounge. All dining rooms house collections of bottles in tall racks up to the ceilings. The Ristorante Aldivino is a great place to taste and drink, thanks to the young, technical and strong personality of the chef, Enrico Pistoletti, and to the sommelier, Emanuele Rugini, who loves his job and knows how to "tell" as well as to advise. If eating out means looking for excitement, this is the place to be, where even the service, carried out with grace, departs from the banal routine to which we are (unfortunately) accustomed: here the serving trays enter the room with arms held high above the head. Enrico Pistoletti is the author of a con...
