Hidden away in a quiet little village amongst many renowned vineyards, Gardenia offers classical cuisine with, to our pleasure, exciting wine pairings. What most stood out was the service, both during dinner and when it came to recommendations for the rest of our stay in Italy.
The only small downside for us were the large portion sizes. We couldn't quite finish the whole meal.
Thank you Lorenzo and staff for the lively evening!

A very interesting experience, well-executed cuisine in a quiet setting. We had lunch à la carte, although there were some nice menu combinations for €45, including a glass of wine. We were outside, with a lovely atmosphere and the opportunity to hang out with our dachshund.
Many dishes were noteworthy, including the egg and pigeon, and their fried fish is famous, which I'll try soon. Nice wine list, and their own sparkling wine is excellent value for money.
Everything was very well thought out, and the "Piccola Pasticceria" is beautiful and delicious, which I adore.
A place we'll definitely return to.

A slice of paradise in Caluso.
Authenticity and authenticity worthy of the Savoy family.
Genuine excellence and gastronomic romance.
Influencers and snobs abstain.

We stumbled upon an elegant and private entrance. We were greeted with great courtesy and helpfulness. The atmosphere is very refined and original, yet still maintains a high level of style. The menu is top-notch and the price is certainly very reasonable. We'll be back with friends because a place like this deserves to be shared with loved ones. Five stars are well deserved.

On Sunday, we celebrated our golden wedding anniversary and couldn't have chosen a better restaurant. Hospitality, kindness, and professionalism accompanied us throughout the lunch. Everything was delicious, the guinea fowl supreme was sublime, and the millefeuille cake was exceptional. The wines offered were excellent. Beautiful location. We were completely satisfied. Reasonable price.

Surprise restaurant in a small town.
Based on herbs and vegetables.
Menu is complicated to choose.
Very good winelist.
Needs some upgrading in building and toilet.
Recommended.

The dishes were thoughtfully prepared and well-executed. Perhaps from a restaurant that doesn't care about a green macaron, I would have expected more attention to the use of plant-based ingredients and a wider vegetarian offering.
The service was inattentive, and the presentation of the dishes was a bit rushed.
The excellent pairing of food and wine, done by a competent sommelier, didn't improve the dinner; overall, it was pleasant but bland.

Mariangela Susigan's starred cuisine is an experience for the palate. Like an ancient sorceress, she knows the herbs of the forest and creates alchemy of taste capable of surprising even today when we have already experimented with almost everything, not with artifice but with the power of nature in dishes. Don't miss the herb salad: a bowl of herbs, flowers and berries...a continuous amazement for the taste buds that thank you for this rediscovered purity and archaic sensation.
