MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

“As in a well-orchestrated symphony, chef Giuseppe Mancino brings together a host of different elements in his dishes, including creativity, elegance, excellent techniques and superb presentation. The menu places an equal emphasis on meat, fish and vegetarian options, while the restaurant itself is situated in one of the smartest hotels in the town, Il Piccolo Principe, which will celebrate its centenary in 2022.”
