Dina Ristorante In Gussago

What a ambiance, what a food (the best meatball I've ever had), what a service! Everything was perfect, Chef Gipponi was a great entertainer, but always with great discretion.

A culinary experience more than just a classic lunch.... Get advice and guidance from Alberto, who will surely surprise you.

Dina is a place that transcends the restaurant dimension to become a laboratory of gastronomic culture, fully reflecting the intellectual vision and sensibility of chef Alberto Gipponi. A place where what would otherwise be limitations, such as insufficient dining room staff, are actually addressed with a synergistic management model, in which the kitchen staff participates directly in the service. This approach, combined with the deliberate restriction of the number of guests—ten at most—ensures simultaneous service and a more fluid and impactful presentation of the dishes, personally overseen by the chef. Conversely, the chef's presentation style leans toward an extremely didactic and theoretical narrative, transforming the dinner into a sort of haute cuisine course. This academic approach, likely attributable to the chef's past as a teacher, ultimately prevails over the lightheartedness and conviviality inherent in the meal. This approach makes Dina a place for "gastronomic pilgrims" rather than simply lovers of good food. You go there to be challenged, rather than pampered.

Enthusiastic. Birthday lunch, excellent food, carefully crafted in flavors, presentation, and detail. It's not just eating, it's entering a world of philosophy, science, and culture. The atmosphere is truly refined, and the staff is a plus, with the exuberant and enthusiastic chef inviting you to sit at the table at the end of the meal for a philosophical and cultural exchange. Unforgettable: the hazelnut diaphragm, the air-baked cannelloni with truffle ice cream, pasta with squid ink and horseradish, the boiled puff pastry with frozen caviar... the olive oil and bread for mopping up the bread was also a plus. The sweet lemon cube with bergamot... the guinea fowl with lemon salt. I couldn't choose... oh, and among the five glasses, the sage gin and tonic was excellent.

An experience you absolutely must try.

What can I say? A very welcoming, original atmosphere, with a touch of class yet at the same time Homegrown Five-star dishes with refined flavors and ingredients, carefully combined to fill the palate with pleasant aromas. The service was much appreciated: Kindness, elegance... It's a blend of flavors and colors. To be discovered sooner or later.

A visionary, highly knowledgeable and cheerful chef. I dined with my wife at Dina's. The dining room has only three tables, a choice made by the chef, who takes almost obsessive care of the guests and the food (in a positive sense). We tried the "Ciao" menu, ten steps (actually a few more) at the chef's complete discretion. In my opinion, some dishes could be improved, but there are many that are spectacular in terms of flavor, ingredients, techniques, and presentation—something you'd rarely find at other restaurants. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but it's an experience worth trying at least once.

Beautiful lunch experience with relatives and friends, eating quality home-made food, we were very satisfied with the quality, flavour and courtesy
