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.

Giasseria, Drogheria Ittica - Pavia











La Giasseria, Drogheria Ittica, is located in Pavia in a central location, a few steps from the pedestrian area.


The dining rooms are divided into 3 rooms, the first of which is a continuation of the entrance. Three steps lead up to the second small room with grit floors and a slightly curved floor plan. The beautiful solid wood tables are all different from each other.


La Giasseria is a "sui generis" restaurant that deserves great attention: under the aegis of patron Mirko Quirino, chef Alessandro Cerutti and sushiman Marcello Riina create a fish and Japanese-inspired cuisine that is wonderfully based on avant-garde techniques and a respect for "poor" raw materials that deserves open applause.
You will enjoy a rich, stimulating, cultured and refined gastronomic experience in a shabby-chic environment that elegantly reflects and synthesizes the philosophy of the house.
The maturing of fish is a relatively new frontier and decidedly little explored even by the great kitchens: here it is done with love even before the masterly technique, and the dishes that arrive on the table really seem to smell of passion.
