Gambero Rosso
The Ristoranti d'Italia di Gambero Rosso guide has awarded Cacciatori di Cartosio two Forks. ‘Massimo Milano and Federica Rossini offer cuisine of the highest quality, starting with the white, quiet dining room and outdoor seating area,’ reads the gamberosso.it website. "The cuisine is outstanding, without being pretentious or self-referential. From fresh pasta to the disarming simplicity of an onion frittata, from the impeccable Russian salad to the pan-fried kid: dishes that respect tradition but with a light touch. Two tasting menus, a modest but adequate wine list. There are also comfortable rooms for extending your stay".
