Review for Dieci Boutique Restaurant

Tucked away among the green hills in the heart of Bulgaria, far from the city’s noise and rush, the restaurant of Gianfranco and Anna is a place where time seems to slow down to make room for taste, nature, and human warmth. This is not merely a dining destination – it is an experience that lingers in the memory like a fragrant echo of authenticity and inspiration.

From the very first moments, it becomes clear that everything here is created with care, dedication and passion – from the cozy interior and soft lighting to the genuine smile with which Gianfranco and Anna welcome every guest.

The tasting menu, with more than ten courses, is a true gastronomic journey – seasonal, built around local ingredients, and interpreted through the lens of Italian tradition and world-class culinary craftsmanship. Each dish feels like a separate chapter in the story of taste – elegant, balanced, and meticulously composed. Simple ingredients acquire nobility, and seasonality becomes a guiding philosophy rather than a constraint.

The beverage pairings are thoughtfully curated – every sip enhances the character of the dish and adds depth to the experience. The finale, featuring an aromatic grappa instead of dessert wine, is a graceful nod to Italian tradition – clear, refined, and unmistakably authentic.

Equally impressive is the owners’ dedication to sustainability. The restaurant strives for a zero-carbon footprint and a fully circular use of resources. Every detail, from the choice of ingredients to waste management, reflects deep respect for nature. It is not only delicious and beautiful – it is responsible, conscious, and genuinely inspiring.

Here, one does not simply eat – one experiences harmony between flavor, nature, and humanity. Gianfranco and Anna do not just serve dinner; they share a philosophy – one of respect for food, the earth, and their guests.

Their restaurant is proof that when passion, craftsmanship, and responsibility meet, the result transcends fine dining – it becomes pure joy for all the senses.
