€€Contemporary, Regional Cuisine
They’ve played with words here, because “bislacco” (quirky) applies only to the name. This restaurant will win you over with its cuisine: meat dishes, fish, and vegetarian options coexist harmoniously, without forgetting the ever‑present risottos, available à la carte or in tasting menus. Among these, Chocolate Passion stands out, where chocolate – expertly dosed – appears in every course. After all, they call themselves a “cioccoristoreria” (a playful portmanteau of chocolate and restaurant).
