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.

Tère Rüse - Mombaruzzo (AT)











This farmhouse with a contemporary look calls itself "Agrivineria" at the service of an exceptional biodynamic winery.
An explosive mix, the one implanted a few years ago by the volcanic Gregorio Pic, a past as a gastronome in Paris and today a vanguard winemaker in a land with deep-rooted traditions such as sleepy Monferrato.


The rectangular dining room is pleasantly furnished. Lighting is dimmed during service to create a more intimate atmosphere.


Visiting Tère Rüse means not only drinking and eating well but also getting in touch with a project that sets itself the goal of a real change in the quality of life.

The winery cultivates grapes with biological and biodynamic methods, paying great attention to increasing biodiversity and using alternative methods such as the establishment of beneficial insects and the proliferation of microbial life in the soil.

The use of Impruneta amphorae to make wine makes it possible to maintain a lower temperature than steel, developing the finesse and delicacy of the wine more slowly and managing to maintain every scent.

All this will return to you in the glasses that you will drink at the table accompanied by a simple but well-finished cuisine, not banal, made exclusively with products from Piedmontese farms, with vegetables from their own garden and fruit from their own orchard.
