24/01/2026: Finally, two friends and I managed to try this restaurant.
We had booked the "Giovani Forchette" menu in advance, a five-course menu selected by the chef.
We were welcomed at the bar, a choice that made the experience even more engaging thanks to the direct view of the kitchen.
Before starting, I chose a cocktail called "Omaggio a Andy Warhol" (Homage to Andy Warhol), made with gin, beetroot juice, and tonic: absolutely delicious.
The menu included an entrée, two appetizers, a first course, a second course, and a dessert: every dish was impeccable and meticulously prepared.
Personally, I found the pork cheek with green pepper sauce and the mascarpone ice cream with chocolate and Maldon salt to be extraordinary.
The location was particularly well-kept and very quiet.
One of those places I will definitely return to.
A truly fantastic experience.
Being a photographer, I pay particular attention to lighting and framing, which is why I've also attached some shots.
I would love to collaborate with the restaurant on a photo shoot.
18/01/2026: We dined at Canzian Restaurant, choosing the 5-course Giovani Forchette surprise menu. It was an elegant yet down-to-earth Italian haute cuisine experience, which was overall a very positive experience.
Let's start with the food: at Canzian, the food is good, period. It's top-notch Italian cuisine. During our meal, we tasted:
- egg in chicken broth (amazing broth).
- an artichoke stuffed with parmesan on a bed of spinach (super flavorful).
- a beetroot risotto with white wine.
- a beef cheek with duck ragù on a bed of Jerusalem artichokes.
- and finally, a freshly made mascarpone gelato, simply delicious.
The quality of the ingredients is evident, the wine list is truly extensive, and the prices are absolutely in line with the city and a restaurant with a clear Michelin reputation, even if it currently lacks a star.
The service was undoubtedly a highlight of the evening. The young man who looked after us throughout the dinner was impeccable: kind, extremely polite, friendly, and never intrusive. A balance that made us feel at ease from start to finish.
A few minor, less convincing points concern the ambiance: the decor is rather unique, and standing at the counter overlooking the kitchen, you notice some details that perhaps would be better left unnoticed. A few worn utensils and sauces or condiments stored in makeshift plastic bottles are perfectly normal in a kitchen, but in a restaurant of this caliber, they're a bit out of place when they're right under the customer's nose.
The only real negative note of the evening came at the end: the "offer" of a taste of two tiny pieces of cheese. Given the extremely small quantity and the use of the word "offer," we never would have expected an extra charge of almost 30 euros. A shame, because it slightly ruined the memory of a dinner and service that up until that point had been excellent in every way.
Overall, a great quality restaurant, which with a little more attention to detail could really be impeccable.
