Il Gallo della Checca - Ranzo (IM)

Il Gallo della Checca, a truffle restaurant with its own Tartufaia as well as an osteria and wine shop since 1986, is located in Ranzo, a small inland Ligurian village on the border with Piedmont. One does not arrive here by accident, but because of the gastronomic value of the address, which is certainly worth a special detour.

Antica Osteria Magenes - Barate (MI)











The Antica Osteria Magenes, JRE member, is located in Barate, a hamlet of Gaggiano, easily reachable from Milan following the course of the Naviglio Grande.

The interiors, structured in two rooms and a "jardin d'hiver", are warm and welcoming, with tables highlighted by a well-designed lighting.


At the Antica Osteria Magenes we had a great gastronomic experience, rich and refined, full of suggestions, learned references and surprises.
The cuisine of Dario Guidi unravels with a sure hand from the must of the Milanese tradition, sometimes revisited in a fusion key, to extreme research, always with an admirable balance.

You will have fun, but of each dish you will understand flavors, references and quotations.
