16/06/2026: I've been dreaming of coming to Ciau del Tornavento for years, and I finally made it. I can say the wait was well worth it: one of those experiences that lingers in your heart and on your palate for a long time.
Everything started in the best possible way with the chef's greeting: the cod meatball and raw sausage were simply incredible.
Among the appetizers, the foie gras was very good with its jams, and I was also surprised by the crème brûlée that accompanied it. The dish that struck me the most, the one I'll never forget, was the ravioli: the pasta was rolled out very thinly, the filling excellent, the egg surprise, absolute perfection in every detail. The veal with tuna sauce was also very good, with tender meat cooked to perfection. The shrimp breaded in breadsticks and walnuts were unique and very tasty: an original idea, crunchy and flavorful, that won me over immediately.
The ravioli del plin were good, but I have to be honest: I found them a bit larger than I expected, which is why they weren't my favorite dish.
For the main course, the goat was described as excellent by those who tasted it, and I loved the cutlet: very, very good.
To round things off, a glass of Château d'Yquem accompanied by a small selection of excellent cheeses. A fitting finale for a meal of this caliber.
Huge applause to the young sommelier, who recommended two perfect bottles to accompany the meal, and to the entire staff: young, kind, attentive, and passionate. The chef personally stopped by to say hello, a gesture that made everything even more special.
It was 30 degrees, but the fans did their job, and the beauty of the landscape enjoyed from outside made the atmosphere magical. A setting that alone is worth the visit.
La Ciau del Tornavento is a rare place, where cuisine, service, and the beauty of the setting blend into something unique. I will definitely return.
