Antonio Buono and his wife Valentina’s restaurant was this year awarded a star in the prestigious Michelin guide. Amply deserved for the very high quality of the products, many from the family garden and trusted suppliers. The ambience is cosy, elegant and modern, with essential wooden furnishings and an open kitchen. Thanks also to his important experience with the multi-starred chef Mauro Colagreco, he has created his own cooking style and philosophy. The menu changes daily as it depends on what is available at the time. The restaurant’s proposal is the tasting menu at 90 euro, excluding drinks, consisting of four welcome snacks, two starters, a first course, a second course, pre-dessert, dessert and final pastries. Some dishes include panissa with Grana Padano and oxalis, cod puffs, Colonnata lard and Matcha tea, Sanremo red prawn with avocado, citrus fruits, almond milk and Milan turnip, and risotto mantecato with Madonie provolone and mullet roe. Alpine cheese from the Roya valley and lemon, pollen and chia crisp sorbet. To finish on a sweet note, the chef’s warm madeleine. An experience that will not disappoint and will make you appreciate the products of a rich territory offered with skill and creativity.
