Spinechile Resort
Schio, Vicenza, 30-45€
11/09/2025: Not just a restaurant, but a unique experience: impeccable hospitality, attentive service, and surprising flavors. Every detail transports you to another world. Worth every penny.
02/09/2025: I was there eight months ago, and the memory is still vivid.
The emotional/evocative purpose of this type of establishment is, in this case, fully satisfied.
Here is everything you'd expect from a restaurant with this classification.
Authenticity/Inspiration/Choice/Service/Care
So, again, hats off to the Michelin Guide 🎩📕
What I want to focus on, both an extrinsic and intrinsic characteristic of the establishment, is its privacy.
A key word for me about this place.
The restaurant is located high up in the hills within a wooded area, miles from any major towns.
The enormous redevelopment of the estate's grounds was certainly crucial for the local communities. The name Spinechile, in fact, means mountain edge in the local dialect, and the entire surrounding area was in a wild state.
In the company of an architect, we can say "Top" from this perspective too.
I wanted to start the experience by parking at the Contrà Piane church.
This way, on the way there, we followed the S1 trail (about 1 km of the total 4 to get there), also passing a beautiful stream.
On the way back, we took the normal road (2 km longer, but at least partially lit). Hiking boots aren't necessary, but a little caution is required.
The last stretch of the road is also noteworthy because it's unpaved and quite steep (the reward at the finish line becomes more enjoyable and the seating more comfortable).
You'll then find yourself in front of a large gate; ring it and enter the property from the descent that leads first to the parking lot and then to the entrance.
I'm also attaching a photo of the trail 🏞️
At lunch, I was fortunate to find some very interesting amuse-bouche, three miniature versions of classic Venetian dishes to be eaten in one bite. My special compliments go to these and the "Trout Going Up the Stream" course.
Highly recommended for couples or for business (there's even a special, private dining room).
Not recommended for newcomers to this type of restaurant, though; everyone can do what they want (Long Live Freedom), but I wouldn't recommend a place like this as a first-time experience.
The atmosphere is more professional than convivial, and I recommend having a certain level of perception regarding the structure of the dishes.
Precisely to appreciate and experience them fully. Doing them justice and not discounting anything.
As always, these are just my impressions and personal opinions.
I was disappointed not to have been able to speak with the Chef/Owner.
He certainly expresses himself at his best in the kitchen, but I would have gladly at least made a small gesture.
Corrado was present in every dish, and Paola was practically impeccable in the dining room (thanks also for the wine pairings).
I also sent two friends from Treviso here, who were also satisfied.
I'm attaching photos with captions to make the harmony we experienced here more vivid 🏞️

Aqua Crua
Barbarano vicentino, Vicenza, 20-30€
16/10/2025: A delicious dinner. The initial welcome at the end of the meal was a real experience.
I was curious to learn about chef Giuliano Baldessari's cuisine. I found the "Initiation 1" tasting menu excellent in every course, and some dishes surprised me, always positively.
The dining room service was excellent, providing information about the dishes and wines throughout the evening. The professionalism and passion that the entire staff puts into their work is evident and makes for a wonderful evening enjoying excellent food.
Thank you and congratulations, Aqua Crua!
26/08/2025: Compliments to the kitchen and the staff

Locanda alla Torre da Zemin
Camisano vicentino, Vicenza, 30-45€
18/10/2025: An unexpected location but excellent quality... I chose it for an informal dinner without ever having been there... I have to say, it was an excellent experience. We will definitely be back.
14/10/2025: Waited half an hour for a table, they couldn't even offer you a glass of water. Haughty.

Ristorante all'Antenna

I won't say anything else, but I can't wait to go back!
26/09/2025: The intimate atmosphere is meticulously maintained, the service is welcoming and professional, and the dishes are truly delicious, using local recipes and ingredients. We found a quiet setting for an intimate dinner, our first time here, and we were very happy.

La Trattoria di Palmerino
Sandrigo, Vicenza, 20-30€
13/10/2025: Great experience!
A family lunch, booked well in advance. About 40 of us showed up to taste the cod prepared in different varieties...
Excellent tasting, dishes really well prepared and accompanied by good wine.
The staff was nothing short of excellent, polite and very attentive (managing us could have been difficult, I assure you).
Special mention to one of the guys who served us, Luca... Fabulous in balancing professionalism and fun.
We will definitely be back.
Highly recommended.
25/09/2025: I chose the cod tasting menu. It consisted of three courses. The appetizers included cod served four different ways, a sampling of cod ravioli with pumpkin cream sauce, and finally, cod Vicenza-style. Everything was excellent, except there were only two ravioli. Since I didn't pay, I can only say the menu cost around €40. The location isn't the easiest to get to, but it's very elegant and welcoming. Recommended!

Palazzo delle Misture
Bassano del grappa, Vicenza, 20-30€
31/08/2025: Amazing cocktails, and the staff is also great, always able to recommend the perfect cocktail based on your tastes. It would be nice to have some cicchetti to accompany the cocktails, perhaps. In any case, I'll be back and I highly recommend it.
21/08/2025: Beautiful place and very kind people, they even offered me a piece of dessert that wasn't on the menu.

La Rosina
Marostica, Vicenza, 20-30€
09/10/2025: Big disappointment. At the restaurant, I waited 40 minutes for the appetizer, which was good, another half hour for the main course, which was far below what it should have been, and a good 20 minutes for dessert.
The room had no hangers for trousers; it was especially absurd that the front desk didn't bother to provide one, saying they didn't have one. There was also an annoying noise coming from the electrical panel.
A historic venue, but with some management issues. It's a shame.
13/09/2025: I recently celebrated my wedding on September 12, 2025, and even stayed for one night.
Impeccable service, from the organization to the location, and the wonderful staff.
It deserves much more than a 3-star rating.
Highly recommended.
Thank you.
We recently celebrated our wedding in this fantastic location, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the service, the quality of everything, the organization, and the staff; everything was really impressive.
This place deserves better than a simple 3-star rating.
Thank you.

Acqua & Farina
Vicenza, Vicenza, <20€
22/10/2025: We went to this pizzeria, a nice new environment, but the tables near the door were a bit penalized by the cold air coming in. The pizza was good and easy to digest, but if I may give a tip, too much tomato on the pizzas which covered all the flavor of the other ingredients. Anyway, worth trying!
19/10/2025: Excellent contemporary pizza with refined and perfectly combined ingredients.
