Il Giardino del Gusto, a gourmet restaurant owned by Emanuele Donalisio, a member of the Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe, is located in Ventimiglia, in the center of town, overlooking a tree-lined square a stone's throw from the train station. Next to the entrance is the bar area, well integrated into the context. The interiors are classic and elegant, furnished like a small wedding favor. Once again we confirm our enthusiasm for Emanuele Donalisio's fine dining restaurant, to be categorized as one of the great tables of Liguria.
