Locanda La Gemella is the new Modern Osteria owned by Cantina Viberti and recently opened in the center of Barolo. The name is a dedication to Maria, a twin by birth and a fundamental woman in the company, who has been the cook for 47 years in the other historical Buon Padre Restaurant belonging to the Viberti family. The tasteful interiors were conceived with the intention of bringing a touch of internationality to Barolo. La Gemella is first and foremost a modern "lady" osteria, but also a different and unusual place, with new spaces shaped to reflect the changes, tastes and needs of customers. The kitchen has a firm and sure hand, with a range of proposals that will fully satisfy every true gourmet. The dishes on the menu are not only local, but also regional. All of them are prepared with great care and with the use of selected ingredients. The fillings are exceptional, the handmade pasta is simply excellent, the meats "melt in your mouth"...

The Belvedere restaurant in Pessinate, a tiny green village in the municipality of Cantalupo Ligure, was born as Osteria Italia in 1919 by Gianèn, great-grandfather of Fabrizio Rebollini. In 1958 grandparents Sunto and Sina built the current Belvedere, whose management has remained strictly familiar until today, with Fabrizio, Serena and mother Marisa. Next to the entrance you will admire a 60s jukebox. The interior is structured in one large rectangular room optically divided into two zones by the wardrobe cabinet. The restaurant Belvedere 1919 is an oasis of peace and a precious address of good cuisine where you certainly do not happen by chance, although it is located only 20 minutes from the Milan-Genoa freeway. You will experience a traditional cuisine rich in authentic flavors, inspired by the territory of Val Borbera and its valuable products, prepared with wisdom and great respect by Fabrizio and Serena Rebollini.

The restaurant of Michelin-starred chef Andrea Larossa is located in the heart of Alba, a stone's throw from the centre, announced by an unmistakable red door. The first dining room features beautiful barrel ceilings. The second one, heralded by the refrigerated wine cellar set in the alcove, runs the length of the room. At the Larossa restaurant you will experience a modern cuisine of depth, in which tradition is the cue to create dishes with a strong personality, with clear and precise flavors, always balanced. The search for the best raw materials, which are sometimes true rarities, shines through in every preparation. The setting is very pleasant and well-kept, the service perfect.

The Cubique restaurant is located in Turin in via Saluzzo, a central but quiet area. It is led by Pierluigi Consonni, an excellent chef that we know and appreciate for years. The interiors, harmonious and lively, are composed of two well-furnished rooms complemented by a mezzanine overlooking the kitchen. At the Cubique restaurant we experienced an excellent "author's cuisine" by a chef as shy and reserved as he is virtuous and prepared. The welcome is warm, in a small and well-kept environment. The cuisine satisfies every expectation, in a mix of classicism and openness to new cooking techniques, with an excellent quality-price ratio and raw materials of absolute quality. A restaurant that already has all the qualities to excel in a competitive (and rather "crowded") panorama such as today's restaurant in Turin. Do you want to post your comment?

EraGoffi is the new gastronomic restaurant born in Turin in the same places that since the end of the 19th century have made history with the name of Goffi del Lauro. The new name is a tribute to tradition, as is the logo of the restaurant, which represents that laurel of which only one remains in the garden. The old signs have been deliberately left intact. Once inside, you will find rooms totally renovated with great taste, in which you will admire the wise use of tapestries alternating with plaster and exposed brick. In the dining room, the hanging lamps stand out, contributing to a well-designed and well-centered lighting on the tables. A great hand, that of Chef Lorenzo Careggio! Personality, technique and imagination, many ideas, a taste for provocation perfectly balanced by an admirable sense of balance make his cooking a source of gratification and surprise, which is a bit the essence of what we look for in a Cucina d'Autore. This is a place that will make people talk...

Acquamatta, Green Soul Restaurant, is located among the paddy fields of Lomellina, inside a beautifully restored 1827 mill, surrounded by the protected landscape of the ZPS (Zona di Protezione Speciale delle Risaie Lomelline). The windows of the dining rooms overlook the jump of the spring waters of the Roggia Raina, which provide the restaurant with the heat and electricity needed to heat and cool the rooms. The second room is dominated by a large wooden chest of drawers displaying different types of pasta visible from the glass fronts of the drawers. The rustic and informal-chic environment is of great charm and suggestion and the cuisine, operated by a young and motivated chef, totally keeps its promises. The team formed by Andréia Saito, perfect hostess, and Alessandro Cerutti in the kitchen, will reserve you an experience of taste and hospitality to remember. The restaurant is certainly worth a special trip, planning a restful digression from the main traffic routes, among r...

Cucina San Francesco is the restaurant of the Cappuccini Resort, charming hotel of which we publish a rich Reportage in lemilleUnanotte . We are in the heart of Franciacorta, an excellent wine-growing and wine-producing area, a stone's throw from Erbusco. The restaurant is located inside the ancient convent and overlooks the cloister. The rooms have character and personality: the eye is drawn to a number of furnishing details that contribute to creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The antique terracotta floors are magnificent. In the kitchen of Cappuccini Resort we started from the study of tradition to modify, renew, balance and finally realize a balanced union between territory and creativity. The young Chef Marco Zilindo moves with sure technique and shows a very inspired hand in every preparation, with original dishes and revisitations of great suggestion.
