The story
Ricardo Temiño, the chef behind the acclaimed La Fábrica in Burgos, has turned his attention to Italian cooking. At Boccaccio 70, he presents a proposal that fuses the traditions of Italy with the character of Castile. The result is Italian contemporary cuisine that feels both authentic and distinctly personal.
The restaurant’s name nods to the 1970s – a decade of creative ferment in Italian cinema and design – and that spirit of bold, elegant creativity runs through the entire project. The space itself was conceived by Michele Corbani and Andrea Spada of ilmiodesign, who have brought a sophisticated, unmistakably Italian aesthetic to Burgos. Every detail, from the furnishings to the lighting, reflects what the team calls “italianità” – the essence of Italian design.
On the plate, that same clarity of vision applies. The kitchen works with high-quality ingredients, preparing dishes that respect Italian classics while introducing a subtle Castilian touch. The menu changes seasonally, and the wine list is curated to complement both the Italian and the local influences. Boccaccio 70 is clear about what it is not: “If you want pizza, this is not the place.”
Since opening, the restaurant has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that speaks to the precision and ambition of Temiño’s cooking. For anyone seeking Italian contemporary cuisine in Burgos, Boccaccio 70 offers a refined, memorable experience.
