Image
The Faula restaurant is located in the Langhe hills inside the new prestigious Relais Casa di Langa, of which lemilleUnanotte publishes a rich Reportage . Its name, which in the local dialect means "story", was chosen in homage to the centuries-old tradition of the region that wants families and friends to spend time together sharing stories. The restaurant overlooks an entire glass wall on the large terrace from which you can enjoy the splendid panorama of the Langa hills, with Serralunga d'Alba in the foreground. 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. Chef Manuel Bouchard has found here the ideal place to show his crystalline talent without constraints or limitations: we have tasted practically all the dishes on the menu, obtaining the distinct feeling of being in front of a star of the first magnit...

Giachino Ristorante - Chivasso (TO)

Image
Giachino Ristorante, the "A-typical" Piedmontese Trattoria with which the Giachino family continues in Chivasso, in a completely different location, the long path of excellence that began with the unforgettable Cascina Martini, is located in the center, in a strategic position a few kilometers from Turin is easily accessible from the motorway. The well-kept and bright rooms are characterized by a post-industrial design. The two main dining rooms unfold from the bar counter with the cash desk, complemented by a convivial room. That of the Giachino family is a cuisine of memory in which tradition becomes contemporary. When we talk about the Giachos, it is impossible not to remember the splendid Cascina Martini in which they have worked for many years: with the return to their Chivasso, the cut with the past has been clear and radical. What has not changed is the value of their cuisine, which indeed with the addition of the grill and the wood-burning oven for gourmet pizzas, h...

Cantina Nicola - Cocconato d'Asti (AT)

Image
The Cantina Nicola restaurant, part of the homonymous farm, is located in Cocconato, a town in the north of Asti nicknamed the "Riviera del Monferrato" for its particular climate, ideal for growing grapes. The company was born in 2002 when the passionate but amateur activity of grandfather "Bertin" (to whom the Grignolino label is dedicated) was supported by the young grandson Federico. The interiors, welcoming and design, characterized by a beautiful play of combinations between wood and exposed brick, create an intimate, elegant and relaxed atmosphere especially in the evening. Cantina Nicola is a precious address in a beautiful location where you can taste a refined and gourmet cuisine, of above average caliber, full of imagination and interesting ideas, although still linked to tradition. The environment is welcoming, relaxed and refined thanks to the aesthetic solutions and attention to detail, the precise and generous service. Do you want to post your c...

Ca' del Profeta - Montaldo Scarampi (AT)

Image
The history of this splendid Asti Resort with gastronomic restaurant began in 2016 from an intuition of the Brazilian footballer Hernanes, then under Juventus, who saw the potential of what was then a ruin on the hill and decided to restore it by entrusting its management. to his fellow countryman Diego Dequi, whom he met as a sommelier at the restaurant del Cambio in Turin and became a friend, then a trusted collaborator and partner of the local "Divine Place". Unstructured tradition: this is how we could summarize in two words the cuisine of Christian Milone, who always manages with his dishes to reawaken dormant memories of smells, flavors and textures of our childhood in a real sensory journey full of emotions. Equally proverbial is his hand in the treatment of vegetables, all supplied from the garden of Ca 'del Profeta. The card is rightly not vast, but curious and fanciful.
