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.

I Due Buoi - Olivola (AL)











I Due Buoi Restaurant has recently moved to the splendid new location of Villa Guazzo Candiani in Olivola, in the Monferrato area of Alessandria, leaving the Bistrot Cavour to continue the in-house catering services offered by the Hotel Alli du Buoi Rossi in Alessandria.

The mansion, which dates back to 1585, is surrounded by a garden with paths and centuries-old trees, and has a number of charming rooms available to guests.


The restaurant has three beautiful frescoed rooms, plus a dedicated room where customers can taste espresso coffee or coffee prepared with the extraction method. On the walls, the paintings of Emmanuela Zavattaro, multifaceted artist and dreamer.


Marco Molaro's cuisine respects the raw materials and enhances the territory, with excellent technique and some oriental influences.

There is no lack of original ideas, for example in the desserts.

The presentations are accurate, with a strong accent on the "taste", which according to the philosophy of the Chef must be the result of a few ingredients, well combined and easily recognizable.
Thanks to the choices of Maître and Sommelier Devis Castello we drank very well, with centered and elegant combinations.
