15/03/2026: A gastronomic journey around the world
It's not just a tasting menu. It's an itinerary.
At Locanda Viola, chef Filippo creates a journey that crosses continents, techniques, and culinary influences, always maintaining balance and identity. The feeling is that of sitting down at the table and setting off. Each dish is a stage.
We begin in Piedmont with a 100% Pinot Noir classic method sparkling wine from Cascina Galletto, Alta Langa. An elegant and vertical wine, perfect for pairing with entrées.
Among these, Empanadas Chilena with scamorza sorrentina cheese, shrimp, and coriander and cumin mayonnaise. Latin comfort food reinterpreted with great technique.
The journey continues with Inama's Vulcaia Sauvignon, which accompanies a refined fish dumpling filled with mussels, sea bass, and shrimp with soy chutney, raw Mazara red shrimp, and scallop.
We then travel to Oceania with the NZ Seafood Chowder, a New Zealand curry-infused soup with mussels, sea bass, prawns, and smoked swordfish. Paired with a surprising Pinot Noir Côte d’Or from Burgundy, a bold yet perfectly executed choice.
From Thailand comes the Thai Beef Salad with marinated Simmenthal fillet, Thai dressing, sesame, and peanuts, accompanied by a vibrant and sharp Alto Adige Riesling.
Then India takes us on a journey with creamy Butter Chicken served with naan bread and an aromatic and enveloping Gewürztraminer from Alsace.
The finale is Churros with dulce de leche paired with ApiAnae, a sweet wine rich in honey and dried fruit. The experience concludes with an elegant Cihuatán Sahumerio rum.
Welcoming us in the dining room is Giulia, the chef's wife and the perfect hostess. Competent, friendly, and able to guide you with great ease.
Locanda Viola surprises with its personality.
Refined ingredients, expert technique, and a cuisine that combines comfort and innovation in a genuine gastronomic journey.
11/02/2026: Had dinner yesterday with my partner. The atmosphere was very intimate and refined, and the dishes were excellent.
The quality of the ingredients, the attention to detail in the dishes, and the attentive service would deserve a star.
