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. The main hall is decorated like a wedding favor, with oriental carpets and many well-displayed bottles. Ugo Vairo and Renata Siboni run a place that easily wins over its customers.

La Nicchia - Cavour (TO)











La Nicchia restaurant and winery is located in the municipality of Cavour, in the province of Turin, in the center of the town. The restaurant is divided into two areas, the more informal winery with a rich offer of wines by the glass, and the actual restaurant, characterized by a warm and welcoming atmosphere.


The main dining room, which dates back to 1700, is elegant and atmospheric, with terracotta and stone floors, wooden coffered ceilings, arches and walls with exposed bricks, a spectacular central column in Luserna stone with a capital, large round tables richly set and served by comfortable chairs dressed by Doma Kalé, a poor art sideboard-showcase and original halogen floor lamps arranged in succession.


La Nicchia belongs to the very limited list of Convivium's Heart Places: places where not only "you eat well", but you are surrounded by pampering and attention and you can relax in an absolutely pleasant environment.

The restaurant impresses us on every visit with its unmissable cultured, refined and fresh local cuisine in an environment of refined atmosphere.

The curious gourmet who entrusts himself to the guide of the patron Franco Turaglio will always find something new to learn about niche products and wines, Slow Food Presidia and food and wine curiosities.

Passion, competence, research and courtesy are the guiding motifs that animate the restaurant, one of the most engaging of all in the province of Turin.
