iBestTravel’s Italian Dream

Dalip and Amber Tibb, along with their two children, turned their dream into a tasty reality by opening a restaurant, La Chiave dei Sapori, in the picturesque town of Giove, located in the heart of the Italian region of Umbria.

New Venture in Giove

<strong>New venture: </strong>La Chiave dei Sapori, which translates to "The Key to Flavors," launched in the town of Giove back in May.

Finding the Perfect Location

  • The couple stumbled upon the restaurant property while visiting Giove to check on an apartment they bought unseen.
  • They felt confident that this location, known for its vibrant activity, would be a great place for their culinary project.
  • Additionally, they discovered that a neighboring unit had a wine cave, which could enhance their restaurant’s appeal.

A Modern Approach Respecting Tradition

<strong>Castle town: </strong>Giove was buzzing with activity when they first visited, partly due to the renovations that had been taking place on the Castle of Giove.
