Founded in 1967 by Marie Orsini, an emblematic figure of Linguizzetta, the house was initially a family guesthouse as they used to be: generous, friendly and open to both passing travellers and regulars. Today, her great-nephew, Pascal Orsini, has taken up the torch, supported by Sergio Risdonne, to write a new chapter in this family history, without ever betraying its soul.<\/p>\n
A complementary duo, a committed project<\/strong><\/p>\n Trained at some of the most prestigious establishments, from the Grand H\u00f4tel du Cap Ferrat to Ze Kitchen Galerie and Gordon Ramsay, Pascal and Sergio left the Parisian scene to breathe new life into this iconic location. Their ambition is to make Chez Marie an exceptional destination, rooted in its terroir and looking to the future.<\/p>\n Carefully renovated, the former guesthouse has been redesigned with exemplary eco-responsibility in mind: rational water and energy management, short supply chains and a reduced ecological footprint. At Chez Marie, luxury is first and foremost sincere and lasting hospitality, where every gesture counts.<\/p>\n A restaurant with character in the heart of the eastern plain<\/strong><\/p>\n The heart of the place beats around the zinc bar, a meeting place for farmers, shepherds, citrus growers and travellers. On the plate, Chef Sergio showcases local produce with precision and flair: organic veal blanquette, osso bucco with citrus fruits, Corsican beef meatballs, pasta with clams or the famous carbonara, voted \u2018best in France\u2019 by Fran\u00e7ois-R\u00e9gis Gaudry. And to finish, a signature citrus cake that celebrates the seasons with p\u0153try.<\/p>\n A renowned, celebrated and beloved establishment<\/strong><\/p>\n Distinguished as one of the 20 best restaurants in Corsica by L’Express and awarded the \u2018Restaurant de Qualit\u00e9\u2019 label by the Coll\u00e8ge Culinaire de France, Chez Marie is much more than a restaurant: it is a place to live, pass through and share, a precious stopover for those seeking the real Corsica \u2013 with neighbouring Italy as a permanent guest. A discreet but confident presence, like a tasty nod from Sergio to his native Italy, through specialities that he reinterprets with elegance and sincerity. His personal touch can be found both on the plates and in the grocery store, where products from Italy meet those of the maquis. Here, the Mediterranean is not a border but a gateway of flavours, offering cuisine steeped in memory and character, just like the man who created it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the N198, nestled between the sea, vineyards and mountains of the eastern plain, a timeless place cultivates the art of hospitality with a rare balance between tradition and commitment.
