Restaurants cuisine régionale Italy

Restaurant with increasing potential, in a quiet alley of Castello, a few steps from the SS church. Giovanni and Paolo. From the warm room you can see the kitchens, while the pleasant summer terrace welcomes you on sunny days. In the plate to start antipasti of very fresh fish, seafood platter, followed by risotti tasty, delicious spaghetti prepared with care and succulent pizzas. Everything, watered with good wines from the region. And as a dessert, the house fire is necessary! A good address.

Along Bordighera's seafront promenade, this pretty kiosk, which also hires out deckchairs and parasols, serves sincere, fresh and tasty cuisine. The flavors are those of the sea, with a special mention for the light, fragrant grilled and fried fish. Pasta al pesto and mozzarella are also on the menu for fans of Botte specialties. As for bottles, there's a fine selection of ice-cold whites to sip as the sun sets over the water.

Despite its good reputation, this enticing à la carte restaurant was a real disappointment, both for its minestrone soup and its tasteless risotto. Too bad.

In a pretty area of the centre, a few steps from the banks of the Mincio, there is a friendly bistro with colourful tones where you can taste local specialities. It takes its name from Fragoletta, a theatre actress and good cook who used to receive her admirers here in the 18th century. On the menu there is an appetizing choice: pike in anchovy and vegetable sauce with polenta, ravioli with pumpkin butter and sage, horse stew with red wine and a beautiful platter of local cheeses accompanied by the unavoidable mostarda with candied fruit. Tiramisu and sbrisolona for dessert.

In the heart of the historic centre, All'Olivo is a favourite place for residents and a recommended stopover for travellers. Warm and well decorated, it offers a wide variety of menus: its speciality is the fish that arrives every morning from the port of Viareggio. It is also possible to taste the different recipes of the traditional Lucquoise cuisine such as zuppa alla frantoiana or il farro. The elegance of the dishes blends perfectly with that of the room. The terrace is perfect for a romantic evening.

Here is a unique place, both restaurant and bed and breakfast. From the table to the bed, there is only one step. We fell in love with this place with its local cuisine based on ultra fresh products and "km zero" as we say here. Let's not forget the excellent wine list that focuses on local products. The rustic and elegant style of the place is found in the 6 rooms, all very well equipped and decorated. Ideally located less than an hour from Cagliari, close to the beaches and 30 minutes from the island of Sant Antioco, this is an address not to be missed.

It's a 30-minute walk from Corgnolaz to the wooden chalet of the refuge de l'Ermitage, set among meadows and larches. In summer, the path is easy, but in winter you'll have to follow a snowshoe trail: the snowy atmosphere is even more evocative. The menu is that of true refuge cuisine, simple, abundant, typical and tasty. The refuge has double and shared rooms, with shared bathroom facilities, where you can also stay.

Situated in the hamlet of Tache, this small trattoria with its warm and welcoming hospitality offers typical Valle d'Aostan cuisine of the highest quality. Specialities: gnocchi and cheese polenta, all year round. Feeling peckish after a day on the slopes? You can order a cheese and charcuterie platter accompanied by a glass of local wine. But in winter, the dish you really shouldn't miss is Fontina Valdostana DOP fondue, the local alpine cow's milk cheese that's a refreshing change from French cheeses.

This road-accessible high-altitude restaurant is ideally located where many of the slopes converge, so you can enjoy a good meal indoors by the fire or out on the sunny terrace. Perfect for those who like to ski but also enjoy a long lunch break! Local cuisine is served here, including seven types of polenta with cheese or meat, and a few other traditional Italian dishes, including wonderfully tender organic meat from Tuscany. The wine list includes some very famous bottles.

This characteristic address tells the story of the flavors of Bolognese cuisine through its recipes and the many traditional dishes offered. It highlights the quality of the raw materials used, the pride of the owner, who buys exclusively from small local producers. The photographic exhibition of his suppliers on the walls is a testimony to this. The result is a well-balanced cuisine of character, with intense aromas. Once you know this address, you'll want to go back!

Given that nature in the mountains offers delicious produce, the restaurant at the Auberge de la Maison (a luxurious 4-star establishment) has decided not to miss the opportunity to serve it up! The menu features game, mushrooms, chestnuts and especially plates of mature local cheeses. The lamb a la plancha with mountain herbs, sprouts and pasture butter was divine, as was the organic barley soup with borlotti beans. The room is chic and wood dominates, and the view of Mont-Blanc from the large windows in the front is exceptional.

A triumph of fish, shellfish and crustaceans in this restaurant in the city center, which plays the gastronomic card. On the terrace or in the indoor dining room, the service is attentive and the cuisine is refined. Great care is taken with the raw materials, which are resolutely local. Special mention for the crudo di pesce (sliced raw fish that explodes with freshness), for the fregola with mussels, and for the fish soup. The menu is very varied and original. Excellent wine list that will delight all budgets.

Right in the centre of town, this is a bistro for regulars, whose abundant and tasty cuisine rarely disappoints. The dishes, based on products from the Gallura region, allow you to discover the local flavours of the seasons: wild boar and mushrooms, braised meats, gnocchi with meat ragout, potato culurgiones and chocolate sweets. The setting perfectly matches the menu: rustic. A fine selection of local wines can be enjoyed with the meal, but also in the wine bar area, on a barrel.

A small wooden chalet houses the two rooms of the bar-restaurant La Grange, close to the start of the Frachey ski lifts. The restaurant serves typical cuisine, specializing in starters and alpine meats. The menu is rich and varied, to suit all tastes. Dishes can be accompanied by a glass of local or Italian wine from the wide selection of labels offered by the young owner, who is passionate about his profession. It's hearty and tasty. To top it all off, the welcome is very friendly.

Bikers, mountaineers, skiers and hikers all come here, as the brasserie stays open at times when restaurants don't necessarily serve, so that hungry sports fans can fill their stomachs whenever they like! Dishes range from the traditional (civet de cerf, polenta au beurre, chnéffléné, sanglier...) to those you'd find in a brasserie to eat over a beer, such as fries and a breaded meat escalope. Whatever you choose, it's all very appetizing!

This agriturismo is located in the hills of Donnas, only 3 km from the centre of the village, but far enough away to feel in the countryside and to enjoy peace and serenity. The restaurant's menus vary according to nature, its seasons and what they offer. The main ingredients are those produced on the farm, mainly meat and milk. The other ingredients come exclusively from the region, and the dishes are typically Valle d'Aostan. The cheese is in the spotlight: from the freshest to the most mature!

Surrounded by lush green meadows in summer and the snow of the ski slopes in winter, this restaurant is one of the best places in the region to enjoy Gressonard specialties, such as rabbit tagliatelle, and many dishes based on local cheeses and cold meats. The wine list features labels exclusively from Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta. To reach the evening meal in winter, a unique experience awaits you: we pick you up in a snowcat at the bottom of the slopes to take you to the restaurant. It's already an adventure!

In this agriturismo , which also offers rooms, you'll find a vaulted room with a fireplace and warm colors. As for the dishes, all the good ingredients come from the farm (eggs, meat, fruit and vegetables). That's why the fixed Valle d'Aosta menu varies with the seasons. There's plenty to choose from: seven types ofantipasti, two small portions of two different types of pasta (e.g. gnocchi and ravioli), a main course of meat and side dish, and of course dessert!

This is a small rustic and unpretentious restaurant, decorated with originality (you will see elves and witches drawn on the walls), where they serve typical dishes (polenta with cheese, plate of bacon and chestnuts...) but also many types of spaghetti . The cooking is simple but very well done. Everything is good and hearty. The Arbro de la Leuna has a good reputation in the region, so it is advisable to reserve your table. The service is pleasant and fast. A very recommended address with children.

Lou Bequet,term from Valle d'Aosta dialect, means "the goblin" in French. The restaurant is heated by the central fireplace. Wonderful views over the final stretch of the Pré de Saint-Ours. The cuisine is traditional, sometimes revisited, but the ingredients are always local and of the highest quality. The restaurant even won a prize on an Italian TV show for the quality of its chef's dishes. Lou Bequet, with the highest marks for cleanliness, service and cuisine, won the competition.

Hungry after a day's hiking? The Chalet de l'Épée refuge, located on the Haute Route n. 2, about a two-hour walk from the hamlet of Usellières, has just what you need. Closely surrounded by the mountains, this establishment offers typical "refuge" cuisine: dishes that are always traditional and plentiful, where polenta and sausage are never in short supply, as are ratatouille, tartiflette and a marvellous fontina, the typical Aosta Valley alpine cheese. The refuge offers dormitory beds for hikers.

After effort comes comfort, doesn't it? In summer, walk to the Tétras Lyre refuge, a converted former mountain pasture building. You'll enjoy an exceptional panorama, alone in the middle of the mountains, and a hearty plate of Valle d'Aosta specialities. Enjoy a polenta or risotto on the delightful terrace, intoxicated by the fragrance of the surrounding pine trees and carried away by the sound of the Savara torrent flowing below. The refuge also offers self-catering accommodation: double, family or dormitory rooms.

This is one of the best restaurants in the region. Dishes, as in all agritourism, are prepared almost exclusively with products from the farm, and if it's not produced on site, it's undoubtedly from the region. You'll be served recipes based on potatoes, garden vegetables and dairy products or their derivatives. The dishes are generous, and the mountain hospitality warm. The dwelling is typically Valle d'Aostan, in a panoramic position, and the dining room is vaulted in stone.

Il Pranzo di Babette is a real mountain restaurant where you can enjoy simple but typical dishes in front of a beautiful panorama. The dining room is rustic and the atmosphere is very family-oriented. The chef's specialities include: polenta concia, little pancakes à la valdôtaine (filled with the typical melted fontina cheese, a whole raw cow's milk cheese obtained in a single milking, and bresaola) and vapelenentse soup (also with fontina, cabbage and bread). The establishment is 200 metres from the Estoul ski lifts.

This establishment is located in a typical Valle d'Aosta vinosteria - a wine cellar - where the vaulted brick ceiling is supported by imposing stone pillars, around which the tables of the bar-restaurant intertwine. Here, you can enjoy friendly mountain dishes such as raclette and fondue. But above all, it's a place to spend an evening with friends over a good glass of wine. The wine list features around 30 Valle d'Aosta labels and over 150 national wines.

In the rustic dining room, you can order traditional Mediterranean dishes revisited with Valle d'Aosta notes thanks to regional ingredients: fun! Alternatively, you can choose between Piedmontese classics (including the famous bonet, a chocolate andamaretto cake) and Valle d'Aosta classics. There are also original compositions such as artichoke flan with parmesan cream, or artisan tagliolini with black cabbage cream and mozzarella di bufala. Very practical: the dishes are sold to take away.

La Locanda Lac Place Moulin offers typical Valle d'Aostan cuisine, as well as the region's finest, finely selected charcuterie. Needless to say, all ingredients are local. The restaurant boasts a small panoramic terrace, which has made its way between the pine trees for a pleasant meal warmed by the Alpine sun. The problem here is choice: how do you decide between a charcuterie platter, polenta concia, fontina and mocetta pancakes, Valle d'Aosta-style rib steak and carbonade?

The recipes served here vary with the seasons, and in summer or winter, we never offer the same dishes. You can opt for a menu with a choice of pasta, traditional fondue, polenta or raclette and dessert, or select dishes from the à la carte menu. The structure is housed in an old barn in the middle of the ski slopes in winter, and close to the Petit-Saint-Bernard pass road in summer. Deckchairs spread out on the lawn in summer and on the snow in winter, when a brazier warms the atmosphere.

In a room where the light is subdued, where the fireplace diffuses a bewitching warmth, where the stone is the major element, the restaurant offers refined cuisine. The traditional menu revisits the flavors of the Alps, with a seasonal menu, a foie gras menu and a "free-hand" menu featuring surprise tastings of the chef's finest creations. The desserts are worthy of the greatest pastry chefs, and the cellar is well-stocked: over 300 Italian and regional labels. An institution in the Valley!

When you enter the mountain restaurant, you have the impression of stepping back into the Alpine past, thanks to the beautiful wood panelling mixed with stone walls, leaning against old wooden furniture and displaying old cookware. The dishes are rooted in the Valle d'Aosta region, although the recipes are interpreted with particular finesse. All products are sourced from local producers, and vegetables come directly from the restaurant's own garden. The wine cellar is well worth a visit, brimming with exceptional vintages!

In this typically wood-panelled establishment, you can enjoy traditional Piedmontese dishes such as different types of risotto or fritto misto (a wide range of cuts of meat, including some offal, breaded and then fried) in a relaxed atmosphere. Although the dishes are classics, the presentation is highly sophisticated, resulting in a fine, elegant visual effect: a feast for the taste buds and the eyes! And don't forget the fine desserts on the à la carte menu.

The restaurant serves traditional Valle d'Aostan dishes, as well as soups and salads; and for those who can't do without cheese, there are the legendary raclettes and fondues! The dining room, decorated with care but in all simplicity, is very convivial and the atmosphere is almost family-like. In summer, it's customary to serve outside, so that guests can take full advantage of the restaurant's setting and admire the Matterhorn once again.

This restaurant, which is located on the slopes, is distinguished by its colourful and well-prepared dishes. The cuisine is Valle d'Aostan but some traditional Italian dishes are also offered. The speciality is grilled alpine meat. The bar makes portioned pizzas and gourmet sandwiches for those in a hurry to get back to the Matterhorn, including stuffed focaccias and the famous croque-monsieur with local ham and cheese.

There is no more beautiful location than this restaurant in the heart of Nora Lagoon. The terrace and dining room look out onto the setting sun reflected in the calm waters of the lagoon. The talented chef Davide Atzeni offers an inspired and delicate cuisine drawn from the sea bed. Eggs are cooked at a low temperature and seasoned with hazelnut and lemon juice, spaghetti is served with scampi and fish is surrounded by vegetables beautifully arranged on the plate. A magical place.

When you ask the locals which is the best restaurant in Stintino and they all say Lina... You have to go there! The interior is not the most engaging but the panoramic terrace (and veranda) that overlooks the old port and the city is a little wonder. Here, you can taste typical dishes of the traditional "Stintinese" cuisine with some modern reinterpretations of the chef that we tasted: the Fregola alla Stintinese (typical pasta of Sardinia in the shape of small balls) and the tuna in the Mediterranean style. Delicious!

This restaurant, run by brothers Livio and Paolo Crepaz, is an institution in the village, popular with both the local community and visiting tourists. In a typical Tyrolean setting, the cuisine is authentic, with an emphasis on local ingredients, from charcuterie to dairy products. Aperitifs to share are available, as are excellent wood-fired pizzas, with gluten-free options. Service is fast and attentive, with the last pizza order taken at 10pm.

Nestled in a Venetian courtyard far from the tourist flow but close to Saint-Marc, the address plays the card of discretion. Formerly near the Rialto market (from which it takes its name), this gastronomic bistro, recently opened here, is modern and contemporary, with subdued lighting and a jazz background. Seafood and flavours from the nearby countryside share an inventive menu. As for the cellar, there is a vast selection of Italian wines but also beautiful French labels, all with a good sommelier always ready to advise you.

The restaurant of this luxury hotel offers a daily à la carte menu, composed of dishes from the Valle d'Aosta tradition, as well as Italian and Mediterranean dishes. The decoration is chic, as is the way the plates are dressed. You will find internationally renowned labels on the wine list.

We come to this inn at the end of the world, facing the majestic Monte Albo, for two reasons. Firstly, because Tonino's cuisine is from the heart, authentic and generous. It has the flavor of his endearing words, which are an invitation to join the family as soon as you sit down at the table. The products are all sustainably sourced and pure delight. The view of Monte Albo is simply breathtaking: one of the most beautiful terraces on the island. This is a true mountain inn like few others you'll find today. A real favorite!

The story of Librid began with the idea of creating a place in the historic heart (a secluded courtyard of the historic Eleonora d'Arborea residence) where good food could mingle with literature and art. We discover a cuisine with a Sardinian soul linked to seasonality and the land, blended with the freshness and joviality of the bistro. We call it "la dolce vita". The freshness of a garden, music, a rich selection of cocktails and a local wine list make Librid a unique destination for disconnecting from routine and savouring existence.

In a beautiful stone house, you'll find a restaurant that's part of a larger structure: a biodynamic agritourism. Everything you eat here is healthy... and delicious! Menus are designed around what the owners find in the garden and the animals they raise. All additional ingredients are sourced locally and are strictly organic, as is the flour for the bread and pasta. The restaurant hall is magnificent: its wide stone vaults have an extraordinary charm.

Between the irregular stone walls and the beamed ceiling lies the refined restaurant of the eponymous luxury hotel-spa. It revisits and lightens the dishes of the Valle d'Aosta and Italian tradition. It goes without saying that the raw materials are sourced from small, first-class local producers. The rack of lamb from the mountain pastures raised under the mother in crispy breading, with a mountain herb and beetroot juice, was fabulous.

This typical trattoria in the center of Gressan, at the start of the road up to the Pila resort, combines Valle d'Aosta gastronomic traditions with those of other Italian regions. Among the best specialties are meat dishes from the Chianina breed of cattle. The setting is very pleasant, with a small terrace seating around 50, shaded by a wisteria pergola. In the list of fine wines, a special place goes to bottles from the homonymous Gargantua cellar in the same commune.

A beautiful discovery in the heart of the village. From the outside, it looks like a village bar with a small terrace where the regulars chat, but as soon as you push the door open, you discover a real place dedicated to bistronomic cuisine. Sandwiches, platters or tapas-style dishes, the quality is equal and the portions are generous. The owner is adorable and is happy to tell you about the origin of his products, his commitment to "km zero" (i.e. the short circuit) and is also a fine wine connoisseur. And in the evening, there are concerts. Great!

The principle of an agritourism is to offer accommodation and/or catering services with a cuisine that is always typical, and whose raw materials come from the owners' own production. For healthy eating, there's nothing better! The Vieux Alpages is 13 km from the center of Valpelline, but it's well worth the detour, as much for its panoramic position overlooking Aosta as for its cuisine. The restaurant's convivial dining room is perfect for large tables, making you feel right at home.

This restaurant, housed in an 1820s house, offers an abundance of "home-style" yet refined cuisine, including desserts. The chef will introduce you to gnocchi alla bava (fontina and crème fraîche) or rabbit with mustard and cream, sitting at a table with rustic accents. A warm, comforting atmosphere. Good choice of cheeses and cold meats, and some nice bottles!

La Locanda(also B&B) is located in the typical village of Ollomont, 4 km from Valpelline. The walls have a long history: built in the ^17th century, they were used as a stable, took in miners during the two world wars, and today welcome gourmets. The managers are committed to protecting biodiversity, and offer a varied, high-quality cuisine. The dishes respect the traditions of Piedmont, Liguria, Trentino and Valle d'Aosta to convey all the flavors of the region: a unique culinary experience.

The place is typical: the house dates back to the ^18th century, and the dining room retains traces of the local architecture of that period, with its four stone vaults supported in their center by a beautiful column! The cuisine is home-style, made only by the owners, the Grange family, which is why it has two different accents, mainly Valle d'Aosta, of course, and sometimes Abruzzo. The dishes are all homemade with great care, using the most famous local produce.

It's an old-fashioned restaurant in the true Valle d'Aosta tradition. With its warm welcome and cheerful atmosphere, it's a pleasure to eat Angela's dishes! There's no menu, just what's on offer, a bit like in a canteen, but clearly improved. Portions are plentiful, yet prices are tiny. If luxury restaurants aren't your cup of tea, then go for it, because here it's just the opposite, and it's delicious. The locals frequent it, that's for sure!

For an unusual experience, here's the Lo Dzerby agriturismo, a mule track flanked by chestnut and ash trees and protected by the fronds of the trees that form a dome above those who take this path. Chestnuts, potatoes, rye for bread, corn for polenta, rabbits for polenta and pigs for charcuterie are all grown here. Traditional one-course meal or snack, very hearty, with local produce. Local wines. Excellent value for money.
