We are happy and excited to share a news that fills us with pride: The Taste & Al Bancut restaurant – the flagship of the Monaco Suites Hotel in Lignano Sabbiadoro – has been awarded the prestigious TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best 2026 award.
This is not only a confirmation of the quality of our cuisine and service, but an extraordinary leap forward: in the ranking of Italian dining excellence, our restaurant has moved from 25th place in 2025 to 18th place in 2026.
A milestone that demonstrates the consistency, passion, and continuous pursuit of excellence that drives our team every day.
What is the Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Award?
The Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best represents the highest level of recognition awarded by TripAdvisor. The Best of the Best title is reserved for an extremely select group: less than 1% of the profiles on the platform worldwide.
How are the winners chosen?
Unlike other gastronomic awards based on the judgments of juries or industry critics, the Best of the Best winners are determined directly by the real, transparent experiences of travelers.
The awarding criteria are based on:
Ratings and reviews collected over 12 months: TripAdvisor analyzes the quality, quantity, and consistency of scores left by guests over an entire year.
Global authenticity: The award reflects the voice of travelers and gourmets from every corner of the world.
High standards of excellence: To enter the ranking, it is necessary to consistently maintain excellent scores (4.5 or 5 bubbles), ensuring high standards of service, attention to detail, and customer satisfaction.
Reaching 18th position is an achievement we want to share and dedicate entirely to you.
The compliments given to the creativity of our dishes, the words of appreciation for the hospitality in the dining room of the Monaco Suites Hotel, the stories of special evenings shared at the table, and the details remembered in your reviews are the lifeblood that fuels our work.
This recognition does not represent a finish line, but a new motivation to exceed the expectations of those who choose to enjoy a culinary experience at The Taste & Al Bancut or a stay at the Monaco Suites Hotel.
Whether it is a lunch with friends, a romantic dinner, or a toast for a special occasion, we look forward to welcoming you to celebrate this fantastic result together.
A heartfelt thank you to all our guests for choosing us and for continuing to be part of our story!
