Summer, Como
Of sub -Sfoce, the beautiful restaurant in the heart of Como, with a splendid view, “d’Abro” on the lake, we have already talked about. But now the restaurant at the Attica of the Hotel Vista has totally changed cuisine. It is another gastronomic proposal, another wonderfully simple cuisine in its refinement. It is the Italian classic cuisine, that of the grandmother, reworked by a great chef. Alessandro Rinaldi, a young Campanian chef, offers a clean, clear, decisive cuisine; A good cuisine before Bella, which tells the whole of Italy from north to south with a raw material “to be caressed”.
The roast artichoke with parsley and garlic, to clams; Scampi with celery, Roman cabbage, Bagna Cauda and Scampi mayonnaise, witnesses. Among the first excellent the cave of buckwheat, cabbage, bitto and mandarin; Among the seconds, the lamb with mushrooms and turnip greens. The wine list and the “guide” of a very good sommelier is remarkable.

The Locanda dei Bankers, Fosdinovo
You have to do a couple of hairpin bends between Caniparola and Fosdinovo, to get to this ancient villa and enjoy, perhaps, the most beautiful panorama of Lunigiana. We were there in November and it was wonderful, in summer it must be a paradise. Here in front of the panorama, you can enjoy a very high level cuisine, of the chef Giacomo Devoto, young, but with an already long experience, among which a training from Angelo Paracucchi shines.
Lunigiana dominates the environment but also has its influence on the dishes, with flavors that combine land and sea and resumes ancient flavors, with products of the local tradition, almost forgotten and makes the basis of refined and rich dishes.
Price around € 85.
