The Restaurant is divided into three small rooms, with bleached natural wood floors and light-colored walls embellished with taupe wood paneling. White tablecloths that descend to the floor and tone equipment contribute to an intimate and elegant atmosphere. Gabrielle Torretto, a tireless patron in the pursuit of perfection, on the occasion of the "stopover-pandemic" has completely revamped the Brigade of her historic bombshell: and so the actors have changed, but the substance of a solid cuisine based on superlative quality raw materials, well presented and enriched by an appreciable contribution of creativity, has not.

The magnificent The View Lugano is situated in a spectacular panoramic location on the heights overlooking downtown Lugano. The interior design gives the feeling of being aboard a luxury yacht suspended over the lake. The restaurant's dining room, with an open kitchen and an entire translucent wall used as a wine cellar, overlooks the stunning panoramic terrace with breathtaking views. Fine dining of absolute excellence, impeccable and classy yet friendly service in approach, great Cantina and exceptional location: our experience at The View can be summarized in its highlights thus. We enjoyed Diego Della Schiava's contemporary cuisine both in its proposal and execution. Talent, professionalism and rigor in the choice of raw materials are matched by a marked sense of teamwork for his tight-knit brigade. We drank superbly, with a very centered food-wine pairing.

The Villa Tiboldi restaurant is part of the Agriturismo Relais of the same name, a splendid, charming residence in the Roero in Canale, of which lemilleUnanotte publishes a rich Reportage. The restaurant, which of the agriturismo has only the name, has recently been enriched with a scenic glassed-in veranda. In the two warm and cozy dining rooms, the mixed barrique and stone plank floors, barrel-vaulted and brick ceilings, original wall sconces, and designer chandeliers stand out. At Villa Tiboldi we experimented this time with some new dishes, mostly vegetarian, that Chef Luca Piccinelli wanted to include on the menu as a tasty alternative to the solid local cuisine operated so far. The menu offers a selection of dishes that are always very tasty and thoughtful, capable of satisfying every taste. All the preparations are made with a few ingredients with clear and well-defined flavors: an absolutely modern cuisine that knows how to alternate tradition and contemporaneity. Kudos t...
