Il Patio - Pollone (BI)

Image
Il Patio restaurant is located in Pollone in an eighteenth-century farmhouse with a garden, which was a horse changing station, a stone's throw from the magnificent Burcina Park and a short distance from Biella. The interiors of the restaurant, the result of a careful renovation, have parquet floors, ceilings with barrel vaults and exposed brick and a successful lighting entrusted to suspended lamps with swivel arm, practical and design. That of Sergio and Simone Vineis is a clean and personal cuisine, which plays on contrasts and enhances the scents, with a rigorous style that leaves nothing to chance. A cuisine that over time has refined its recipes more and more, removing instead of adding, allowing guests to get up in perfect shape even after demanding tastings like ours. Technique and imagination contribute to the creation of dishes that are never predictable, which excite and are remembered for the quality and character, but also for the simplicity in the search for good...

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.

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...

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.

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.
