Al Borgo
San pietro di morubio, Verona, 20-30€
10/09/2025: I'd even give it 10 stars. It's the most beautiful place and the place where you can eat the best stockfish. The staff is magnificent and super professional. We've been making this a must-see when we come to Mammola for 11 years. I don't know if the chef changes, but we've always had SUPERB food. BEST WISHES!
06/09/2025: Excellent wonderful superlative experience

26/07/2025: Outstanding, high-class restaurant for upped and fine dining. Reservation is mandatory. However, for lunch, we called and asked if they could receive us, and we got a positive answer. The food was surprising, challenging the senses and intriguing. The staff super professional. Thank you!

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€
20/07/2025: Top of the top incredible experience also with the possibility of choosing vegetarian menus 💚
17/07/2025: A Michelin-starred restaurant in a small village on the edge of the Vicenza hills, a bit out of the way. The surprise menu is reserved for first-time guests (though I had been there several years ago, when it first opened). The dining room is minimalist, a bit dark, but with a splendid open kitchen, which, by the end of the evening, will be spotless. Dinner consists of a dozen or so dishes, some amazing (the fake macaroni with wild boar ragù), others more ordinary (the cuttlefish). The quality is high, however. The wine list is decidedly well-stocked, and the service impeccable. I won't mention the bill because I was a guest. It certainly deserves its star and a visit from anyone who wants to eat and drink very well.

Locanda alla Torre da Zemin
Camisano vicentino, Vicenza, 30-45€
16/08/2025: To celebrate my 50th birthday, I chose La Locanda alla Torre di Zemin... and I couldn't have made a better choice! It was one of the most beautiful evenings of my life, a memory I'll cherish forever.
From the very first moment, Gianfranco and Stefania looked after me with a care and attention rarely found: they pampered me in every detail, from the choice of menu to the organization of the spaces, making me feel truly special.
The food? Simply excellent. Carefully prepared dishes, quality ingredients, and flavors that express passion and tradition. Every course was a pleasure for the palate.
A heartfelt thank you to all the staff for making this evening perfect in every way. I recommend La Locanda to anyone looking for an authentic, welcoming place with a soul. Thanks again, S.S.
16/07/2025: I can only confirm the positive reviews and add that the food is a triumph of flavors unlike anything I've ever experienced here. The staff is excellent and attentive, even for those with allergies/intolerances. I highly recommend trying it at least once—you won't regret it!

Ristorante all'Antenna
Schio, Vicenza, 30-45€
02/08/2025: A delight! A haven of pleasant serenity accompanied by good wine, good food, and a warm welcome. Perhaps slightly larger portions and a greater variety of menu options over time wouldn't be appreciated... but I always gladly return and am satisfied every time.
30/07/2025: A family evening for my daughter's partner's birthday....a wonderful place with a stunning view of the city of Schio...the food was special...the service was very competent...I'd say it was a real success...we'll definitely be back.

26/08/2025: The staff was wonderfully kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. The food was good, the atmosphere welcoming and relaxing. It was just a shame it was a bit warm despite the warm weather. I highly recommend it and would gladly return.

Il Covo del Ribelle
Rosà, Vicenza, 20-30€
22/07/2025: Nine of us arrived without a reservation (six adults and three children), and despite everything, the staff managed to find us a table, even extending it to accommodate us. A truly impeccable welcome!
The staff was exceptional: attentive, helpful, and very knowledgeable, with special attention to even the littlest ones. My six-year-old daughter was involved in "creating" her burrito right at the table, accommodating her complicated requests with patience and a smile.
Excellent food, authentic flavors, and generous portions. Absolutely fair prices.
Make sure to leave a little room for the churros for dessert, because they are AMAZING!!!
To finish, a complimentary amaro on the house.
Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!
19/07/2025: A decidedly disappointing experience, despite the many positive reviews that had piqued our interest.
We arrived full of expectations, but unfortunately, they were all dashed. After waiting about an hour for our food (inexplicable, given that the place wasn't crowded), we were faced with completely flavorless dishes. The dishes were dry, poorly prepared, and truly unrepresentative of Mexican cuisine.
The Lugana wine we were offered was low-quality, tasteless, and didn't justify the price on the menu. Finally, the tiramisu seemed anything but a tiramisu: flavorless, bland, almost like a commercial dessert.
Given these shortcomings, we're perplexed by so many rave reviews. We don't know if we just had a bad night or if there was something else going on, but our experience was very negative. Unfortunately, there was very little Mexican about it. And even less of the promised quality.
We won't be returning.

La Trattoria di Palmerino
Sandrigo, Vicenza, 20-30€
31/08/2025: Anyone who loves cod should eat here. The chef specializes in fish and loves his craft. Since I'm not a big fish fan, I had a difficult time with the menu. For starters, I chose homemade tortellini with ricotta filling and sun-dried tomatoes. Unfortunately, they were fresh tomatoes and lacked a certain refinement, as well as a few herbs.
The main course consisted of Icelandic shrimp, which were impressively large. The potatoes on the side were bland.
Basically, I'm wondering whether you have to eat Icelandic shrimp/langostini or something similar in Veneto?
The service was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance was also pleasant.
The focus here is clearly on cod, prepared in a variety of ways.
24/08/2025: One of the best restaurants where you can eat good cod Vicenza style... it is mentioned and is part of the cod brotherhood.

Palazzo delle Misture
Bassano del grappa, Vicenza, 20-30€
26/07/2025: Excellent variety of cocktails, the menu takes you back to the Prohibition era of the 1920s in the USA. The menu is practically a book worth reading, explaining the flavors and names of the various drinks, even the most well-known ones. If none of them inspire you, just ask them, and they'll create a sensational cocktail based on your tastes! The presentation is also very thoughtful!
02/07/2025: Modern place in the center of Bassano, with excellent drinks a little different from the usual. Knowledgeable staff and available to describe the cocktail to you. Recommended

La Rosina
Marostica, Vicenza, 20-30€
07/09/2025: Beautiful location and menu worthy of special occasions
12/08/2025: I'd say it was a lovely discovery. I had a couple's lunch there and was truly surprised by both the location and the quality of the food.
