To search for the finest Italian cuisine, we came all the way to a small town 80km east of Milan to explore the finest Italian cooking emphasizing on the freshest top quality ingredients by one of the very few female Michelin 3-star chefs.

About the Chef

Now owned by the third generation of Santini, Nadia’s grandfather acquired the place in 1925, where he fished and Nadia’s grandmother cooked with local traditional recipes. The name of the restaurant changed in 1960 from Vino e pesce (Wine and Fish) to its current name dal Pescatore (From the Fisherman).

In 1974, Nadia and Antonia had their honeymoon in France, full of gourmand dining experiences, which inspired them to blend tradition and innovation in a balanced and modern independent style. The restaurant menu is made up of recipes passed down through the generations, but constantly subject to new interpretation of regional cuisine with innovative flair and talent.

About the Restaurant

Situated in peaceful country side, dal Pescatore is the most charming family-style restaurant that we have visited. Dining tables are generously spaced out. Mirrors made the dining area look even more spacious. There is a garden on each side of the dining room, beautifully decorated with elegant lightings at night.
