THE TEMPLES OF THE COCKTAIL MARTINI

Da Vittorio, Brusaporto

The inspectors of the world-renowned Michelin Guide do not award their precious three stars easily, especially to a non-French establishment. 'Da Vittorio', in Brusaporto near Brescia, deserves that award on the grounds of a beautiful place with peerless service, incredibly great food and an overall atmosphere of perfection that the family Cerea has built during the years and keep improving. Not less important than the spectacularly good food is the quality of the hotel, worth of the 'Relais and Chateaux' badge of honor. You can discuss for hours your Martini cocktail with the talented bartender, but stay away from the fashionable 'botanic' gins of today. Highly recommended!
