We recommend allowing plenty of time to get to this restaurant, which is accessed via a winding uphill road that can’t be rushed. However, the journey is more than compensated by the romantic dining room housed in an old rustic mountain building. The entrance is through the old stables, while the dining room itself occupies the first floor of an old hay barn, where a large floor-to-ceiling window boasts views of the valley, especially from the closest tables (there are only four tables in total, plus a small private room). At the helm in the kitchen, chef Corrado Fasolato, who has plenty of ex

Run by the same family since 1976, this restaurant is accessed via a steep winding road and yet the many loyal guests who return here time and time again are proof that the journey is well worth the effort. Once here, the warm welcome offered by the whole family, the attractive dining room with a fireplace, and the delicious cuisine all add to the appeal. Showcasing substantial cuisine with a focus on local flavours (the winter menu featuring game dishes and mushrooms is extraordinary), the menu offers traditional dishes that appeal to the eyes and the palate. The equally superb wine list incl

In the idyllic setting of a 16C mill with a garden and small lake, this restaurant boasts an equally magical dining room with a warm, friendly and traditional feel. Top-quality dishes from the Veneto include a delicious sopressa(the region’s cured ham), Vicenza-style baccalà (cod) with Marano polenta and a soft guancetta served with a superb pendolòn (potato polenta).

You’ll be surprised by the entrance to this restaurant – the door opens into one of the region’s best-stocked butcher’s, delicatessen and general retailer of niche food products. It’s well worth taking time to browse the shelves before making your way to the dining room to the rear, where wine bottles line the walls (the wine cellar is also superb). Meat takes centre stage at Damini, including top-quality meat from the region and further afield. The menu features classic dishes alongside more creative options, plus a few more exotic ingredients.

If you like cod, you’ll be in your element in this restaurant which serves this versatile fish in many different ways, from plain to salted (baccalà) and dried ((stoccafisso). The house speciality is the most famous dish of nearby Vicenza, namely bacalà alla vicentina (written with just one ‘l’ in this region and featuring dried rather than salted cod, despite the name). In addition to cod, the menu also includes other classic fish and seafood options as well as a few meat dishes.

Housed in a small country villa with the ambience of a private residence, this restaurant boasts a dining room with a welcoming fireplace in winter and a veranda full of natural light, giving it a classic feel that makes it perfect for an elegant and romantic dinner. The cuisine is distinctive and full of substance, featuring a selection of meat and fish dishes that includes classic and creative options alike.

The cuisine at this restaurant is almost exclusively based on fish and seafood, with three main points of focus – an extensive array of raw dishes; ageing of almost all the fish to accentuate flavour and texture (as well as making the skin pleasantly crispy); and the grilling of some courses. Top-quality ingredients and delicious desserts complete the picture.
