Relais & Châteaux has close to 100 restaurants “only” without guest accommodations so that the gastronomical profession can take centre stage. Creators of emotions and artisans of flavour, the chefs of these restaurants are committed to Relais & Châteaux’s commitment to taste: products selected from local producers and respect for biodiversity and the seasons.
The aim of Relais & Châteaux restaurants is to create an extraordinary experience by creating lasting gastronomic memories for its guests. Creating the experience begins with the restaurant’s setting, which enhances the chef’s world of flavours.

Restaurant in town. Agli Amici, which was thus named in the 1960s when it was a meeting place for a group of friends from the village, is a wonderful family adventure, which started in 1887 as a café-tobacconist.

In the kitchen, Emanuele reinvents traditional dishes and gives pride of place to the produce of this region which boasts both mountains and the sea – sea bass, sea urchins, pork, vegetables –, whilst wild herbs gathered in the surrounding area add an original finishing touch to meticulously produced dishes.
