Milan: Paper Moon

August 22, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Paper Moon is a restaurant in Milan, that in reality is not doing anything special- it’s simply delicious and all products are fresh and hand made! The famous Italian dish made of beef slices in Tuna sauce was so good, I was like it’s best thing I ever ate! And the Pizza? Again best in the world. The dough was so delicate, and the cheese so dissolving in mouth! The taglioni with beefragout are in my dreams till today! This restaurant with dozens of film posters of biggest super stars like Johnny Depp and Marilyn Monroe is, again, best restaurant in Milan!

Tuscany: Villa Sant Michele

August 19, 2013August 20, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

There is this bad type of restaurants, where you pay more for the view and exclusive fog, than for the taste of food. This is all about the Villa Sant Michele’s restaurant that is located on the top of the hill. You walk in, the place is beautiful. But, a closer look, it feels a bit cheap. Then the veranda, so the restaurant. The view is AMAZING. Whole Florence seen in one place. So it’s all kind of OK. Until the food… First dish is a catastrophe! A warm tartar of scampi… Disgusting. Then meat tagliata. Looks like shit on the plate, isn’t it? And the most horrifying thing- peach semifredo. It was the biggest minus. It tasted like the cheapest one from a super market! No, this place is a big mistake, with it’s “REAL TUSCAN” atmosphere. Eeuuu.

Tuscany: Antica Osteria de Divo

The Antica Osteria de Divo is a real pearl from all Tuscan restaurants. First of all, it’s not a usual Siena restaurant, but it is located in a… Cellar! And in a old one. You sit here with real mould growing on the walls, in cold air and dirty floors. Sounds kind of creepy, but the food is great. Very tipical, but good. Most dishes are served with fresh truffles, and the risotto and taglioni are amazing. Looks normally, but it is simple and very home like! Love it!

Tuscany: Osteria di Passignano

Osteria di Passignano is locate in a small town of Badi a Passignano, that is about half hour from Florence. It’s speciality is the big selection of wines from whole Italy and only from natural wineries! The interior is very simple, and the food… Well, the food… DELICIOUS! This is like one of the best restaurants in Italy! The food is typical Tuscan, but with a modern touch. The meat is delicate, and the pasta is all hand made. This place will not only give you a amazing culinary experience, but also beautiful memories of Dolce Vita vibes!
