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.

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...

The Fàula restaurant is located in the Langhe hills inside the prestigious Relais Casa di Langa, of which lemilleUnanotte publishes a rich reportage.

Àlea is the new fine dining restaurant based in the Castle of Castell'Alfero, in the Asti region, which was an important noble residence in the 13th century. Its name is an acronym for the initials of the names of the three managers, but also a reminder of the idea of a gamble and the Latin phrase "Alea iacta est," meaning "the die is cast," as a symbol of irrevocable decision with no return. Starring in the kitchen, we find two chef friends and colleagues who have worked together at one of the world's most prestigious tristellati, the Catalan Disfrutar: Alessandro Bartoli, 29, with a dream in his pocket of opening a restaurant in the Asti area, and Giulio Canavese, 35, a pastry chef originally from Albenga. In full respect of the original architecture protected by the Fine Arts, the restyling of the interior focused on pastel colors and decorations conceived by young artist Stefano Porro. After walking through antechambers and corridors, ...
