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.

Riccardo Portesi's dishes are very well assorted and personal, cooked with beautiful technique and aesthetic sense: you will begin to have fun reading the names on the card, and you will be amazed by passing by to taste them.
