Futuristic architecture, strong design and a smoking room which reminds an aristocratic circle only for men. In La Peca, the great taste and the elegance get married with an innovative and futuristic location; in addition the view on the Colli Berici, is the perfect background for the extraordinary dishes of the Chef Nicola Portinari and his confectioner brother Pierluigi. La Peca, literally “print” in the dialect of Vicenza, stands out for its ability to look at the future, in the dishes and the setting of the restaurant, without forgetting the tradition; the “peca”, the handprint is the symbol of the restaurant as well.

Antica osteria Cera, Campagnia Lupia (VE)

White and wood are the main colors of the rooms of this Restaurant in Campagna Lupia (VE), that work towards the simplicity and the linearity of the furniture. The specialities come from the sea and the Cera brothers Daniele, Lionello e Lorena continue the tradition of their parents that in 1966 founded a typical fish osteria near Chioggia. Today, the preparations of the past became, thanks to their hands, multi-starred dishes that enchant both the palate and the view, thanks to the careful way of serving the ingredients. The menu is a triumph of fish and shellfish, but the desserts are no less, you will find different polished desserts: one with strawberries, arugula and garlic and an apple cream, or wasabi with creamy celery, spinach slush and rum.

Le Calandre, Rubano (PD)

It is not necessary to introduce Le Calandre, it is one of the eight three-star restaurant in Italy, prize that the Alajmo family won in 2003. Le Calandre, enclosed in the famous ranking of the world’s 50 Best Restaurant, is run with passion by the Alajimo brothers who carefully set the rooms: the location is cosy, intimate and welcoming, lights are suffused to be concentrated on the creations of Chef Max. The plates, together with all the tableware and the glasses have been designed by the Alajmos and realized by local craftsmen, the same for the refined wood furniture. There are three menus “Classico”, “Max” and “Raf” offer a range of fine fish and meat specialities such as the corn and black curry golden grouper with pink sauce with eel and bottarga, seared turbot with yellow mashed potatoes, carrot juice with cardamom and dust of black olives or cuttlefish cappuccino. Give yourself a dinner here is not only an extraordinary way of eating, but a real experience that involve and shake the senses; to try…once in the life!
