Valentine's Day evening in the snow, not easy to reach the restaurant. Six appetizers, some with an oriental twist, featuring soy sauce in one dish, leek reductions, potato crust, and pistachios; polenta in some dishes; all accompanied by shrimp, prawns, scampi, grilled octopus, cod, and sea bream. A first course was linguine with clams and shrimp in a tomato cream. A second course was grilled. Everything was very fresh. I didn't find any lemon, parsley, or garlic, as is usual in Mediterranean cuisine. Steam cooking was innovative in my opinion, without heavy seasonings. A wonderful evening, dessert, liqueurs, and coffee, on the house. Welcoming atmosphere, impeccable service. If it weren't for the fact that it's a little difficult to get to, the directions aren't very clear; the road isn't great in the snow. High price around €70/80 per person including wine such as Falanghina, the least expensive.
