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.

Castellana - Saluzzo (CN)











The Castellana restaurant is based in Saluzzo in an exceptional location inside the ancient monastery of San Giovanni.
It opens on the wave of the success of the prestigious Castellana Restaurant in Hong Kong, which is part of the property's project to export Piedmontese cuisine to the world, a project that contemplates a forthcoming opening in Canada.


The name Castellana takes inspiration from the typical female mask of the Carnival of Saluzzo, the town of origin of the local patron Matteo Morello, and intends to underline the link with the territory and its popular traditions. Guests are greeted by a beautiful room with vaulted ceilings and exposed brick.


La Castellana is "the right place" to taste a great Piedmontese cuisine, traditional but also revisited in a contemporary way, in all those details that make the difference, with the right ideas and excellent technique.

The goal of enhancing the immense culinary heritage of this area of Cuneo, which extends from Saluzzo to the valleys where Castelmagno and Grana cheese are born, has been fully achieved.

The recipes and advice of a great Michelin-starred Chef such as Marco Sacco, the happy hand of a talented and trustworthy Executive Chef like Enrico Degani and a young, motivated and close-knit kitchen and dining room brigade form an exceptional guide for one of those restaurants that leave a mark in the mind and heart and leave a great desire to return.
