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. As you cross the threshold of the entrance, you will find yourself immersed in a quaint rustic-elegant style setting, full of curious elements, from the piano to the tiled stove, from the collection of ceramic roosters to vintage and modern racing bicycles, a great passion of Chef and Patron Ugo Vairo.

Borgo Sant'Anna - Monforte d'Alba (CN)











Borgo Sant'Anna, situated in a splendid hilly position in Monforte d'Alba, is the ambitious and intriguing project thanks to which Chef Pasquale Laera and his trusted Maître Fabio Mirici have abandoned the Boscareto Resort to give life to their vision of catering, that of authentic country cuisine of the Langhe.
The farmhouse, surrounded by vineyards, has undergone a radical renovation that, when fully operational, will also allow you to have some charming rooms.


The interior of the restaurant is warm and welcoming, with wooden floors, wooden ceilings and many design details. The second dining room has its strong point in the magnificent open kitchen in black marble, which even overlooks it on two sides. Noteworthy is the point of color given by the original chairs with patchwork fabric seats.


We have known and esteemed Pasquale Laera and his cuisine for years, it is logical that our expectations were very high: well, we can state with absolute conviction that they have been totally expected.

In his new restaurant Pasquale has reached a balance and a maturity that are certainly the result of his condition of great serenity and joy for his current work.

His cuisine is a real hymn to the Great Italian Cuisine, with homages to the Southern one and learned quotations of regional recipes, through superfine elaborations supported by an enviable technique.
