Malo (VI), Italy
Restaurant La Favellina sits in the village of Malo, near Vicenza, in a fully restored late 19th-century farmhouse. Surrounded by greenery and tucked into a small valley, it offers an intimate setting that suits the restaurant’s understated style, with space, calm and a strong connection to what’s outside. In the kitchen, JRE chef Federico Pettenuzzo works with modern, focused cooking led by the quality of the ingredients. Vegetables play a central role, supported by aromatic herbs, fruit and wild elements gathered around the restaurant. The result is clean, natural dishes with clear flavours and a disciplined sense of balance.
