Although you’d expect a bistro to be relaxed and informal, this casually elegant restaurant just a stone’s throw from the Po river and the Gran Madre has a particularly lively atmosphere. Here, young chef Emin Haziri (formerly at Villa Crespi) serves meat and fish dishes that pay tribute to northern and southern Italy alike, offering cuisine that is inspired by the region, the Mediterranean and elsewhere in Italy with just the right amount of creative flair.
