24/05/2025: Great ambience, great food, great service, amazing host. Would go back in a flash

11/05/2025: Historic Monferrato restaurant (among the oldest in the area, opened in 1965), it is a place very dear to me. I went there with my family already 45 years ago. Historically run by the Ferrero family, it offers excellent local cuisine in a simple but elegant and refined setting.

18/06/2025: Fantastic tasting of local products.. so much professionalism and courtesy

15/06/2025: Amerigo is always a guarantee, I have eaten here several times and the winning combination of traditional dishes and excellent quality ingredients is always confirmed. They only work with local producers, both for food products and wine, and as a worker in the wine sector I am always very happy to find a wine list composed only of medium-small companies in the area. The bill is also excellent. Highly recommended

16/06/2025: Yesterday we were in this structure for my son's communion, spectacular with an exaggerated view, we were divine, the owner is a special person and all his staff, we ate divinely with very fresh seafood products

03/06/2025: Definitely a magical atmosphere in this wonderful restaurant that accompanies the senses of its guests at 360 degrees. Breathtaking view with large windows that allow you to admire the coast in all its beauty in a room that hosts few seats to make each guest feel at the center of their experience. The staff is really courteous, the host (a young 24 year old boy) is really kind and very competent, as are all the rest of the dining room staff. The price of the tasting menus is really excellent in relation to the quality and variety of the dishes. We opted for the fish tasting menu recommended by the staff. We were in the restaurant from 9.30 pm until late midnight, what can I say, it was difficult to leave. Excellent choice regarding the wine list, as well as the desserts. I highly recommend taking some time in this wonderful restaurant if you are in the area. The only negative note for me was the presence of wasabi in two dishes (one in the appetizer, the other in the dessert) a combination that I did not appreciate simply because I do not like the taste of wasabi, however I appreciated the boldness that demonstrates the creativity, study and refinement that in fact are behind each course) Good guys

19/06/2025: Great place and truly sublime cuisine...

30/05/2025: Always a very pleasant experience, from the location, to the service, to the quality of the dishes. See you soon

10/06/2025: Excellent cuisine with traditional local dishes revisited in a more modern way..Excellent homemade pasta (try the tagliatelle with truffle), very good meat-based second courses..Super generous portions..Absolutely to try

01/06/2025: I stayed two nights in this hotel and had dinner one evening...to celebrate my birthday Professionalism, cleanliness, availability...I found a family atmosphere Located in a very good location... Abundant breakfast with quality products Excellent dinner, divine desserts, everything perfect I recommend it to anyone passing through Clusone both as a hotel and as a restaurant Thanks for your professionalism

04/07/2025: The owner is very welcoming and friendly, the place immediately gives a good impression of order and attention to cleanliness Food is average but not excellent. We had ravioli del plin which were definitely good, but minestrone, tuna and other dishes were somewhere between decent and good. Wine list is very very pretentious, perhaps a bit too much; here, fortunately, we are not at the Billionaire...... Prices are definitely high, they did not seem justified by the quality.

18/06/2025: Really delicious, super friendly service and we even had a big parking space for our sports cars!

20/05/2025: There is no doubt that going to a restaurant like this has high expectations The location is five stars, or even more The staff is kind and attentive just right, without being too pushy, but always present. The sommelier was the person who fascinated me the most, passionate, competent, with a touch of lightness and a strong personality: compliments Mise en Place light and elegant at the same time (the chairs are too low for the tables though) Bread, focaccia and oil (of their own production) very good The fish products are not of great value, apart from the caught sea bream, the rest, bonito, cuttlefish, white shrimp.. but this does not mean anything, in fact the bonito was the best dish... The presentation of the dishes... Beautiful but not fantastic. The cuisine The famous Adriá olive, too thick but I really appreciated the inside. The other small insignificant entrees Good sea bream carpaccio: period. Instead, the Pernambuco with gin, brought in combination, was worthy of a wow Bonito, as already said, perhaps the best dish or rather, it could not have been cooked better and also the combination was definitely spot on, the garlic mayonnaise, perfect consistency, balanced flavor, special dandelion. Red mullet with ciupin... No wow... The ciupin combined with the red mullet was very pleasant, if tasted alone, it had a hint of sweetness too much. The cuttlefish was nothing special, I would say delicate, but in reality it had little flavor and the sauce was too strong. Worthy of note instead was the revisited buridda!! Great idea and also very good The pasta: a good product, but here too no wow... Also because white shrimp are not really "pasta" The cod with a flavor too strong The rabbit... Alas, the rabbit!! Out of respect for the chef, I'll just say the rabbit, alas. The cute and pleasant dessert and that's it. In the context, it didn't live up to expectations. But.... There's a but... Everything I tasted of vegetables was instead special, both as a product and as a chef and I think I would have been much more satisfied if I had chosen the garden menu, and if I were to return I would definitely choose that one.. I gave three stars to the cuisine, not because it is an absolute three star, but evaluating as always the whole context I'm almost sure that with the other menu my vote would have been higher...

02/05/2025: Exceptional experience in this starred restaurant. Impeccable service, attention to every detail. Refined food, with the right and balanced portions. Ingredients linked to the territory expertly combined with fine national wines. Advised.

08/07/2025: Good if pricey food, very strange end of evening with lead staff member telling us how card payments work, and that he had to choose the currency for us (and gave us a receipt were I had to sign that we were given a choice)

05/07/2025: The restaurant is very beautiful, delicious and worth it

09/05/2025: Exceptional food and service in low key unfussy surroundings.

07/05/2025: Wonderful taste moment. Accompanied by an excellent Chardonnay. I highly recommend if you are passing through Martina Franca.

17/06/2025: Always a confirmation. Every year, when we go to Salento, we have dinner at Gia sotto l'arco where perfect service is combined with impeccable cuisine! Very fresh raw materials expertly managed by the Chef while in the dining room Teo and Antonella make you feel welcomed, advised and looked after with professionalism and passion. Excellent cellar! We will be back as always

31/05/2025: What a wonderful and incredible experience. The food was divine. And the service - nothing short of enchanting. I am so blown away by this beautiful restaurant. The hospitality was the best I experienced so far in all of Italy. The food, the wine, everything was magical. Not enough beautiful things to say about this wonderful place. We were seated in the balcony overseeing the piazza - book this experience for sure. What a magical evening. Grazie mille per l’esperienza!!!

10/06/2025: My friend and I tried the “reflections” menu. What can I say, a magical experience. A true journey outside of your comfort zone. Thanks to Cristina for her attention, professionalism and ability to put you at ease.

08/06/2025: What can one say?  Our group was led on a culinary journey we won’t soon forget by true masters of service and cuisine.   Do yourself a favour and leave your expectations outside.  Contraste is worthy of your full trust. Buy the ticket and take the ride!

20/06/2025: Friendly staff! Delicious pizza. Would recommend

14/06/2025: Amazing staff and amazing food. Very recommended. The best restaurant we have eaten at on our travels on the Amalfi Coast.
