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.

A Viassa - Dolceacqua (IM)











The restaurant A Viassa, run by Stefano and Aimone Cassini, the same surname but not related, is located in Dolceacqua, a magnificent medieval village in western Liguria famous for its Roman humpback bridge and the Doria Castle.

The modern entrance overlooks one of the most central streets, a few meters from the main square of the village.


The modern, bright and pleasant interiors are characterized by the bar counter right next to the entrance door. From here a raised platform with rounded shapes divides the floor into two portions.


The two Cassini, Stefano and Aimone, boast a past of significant experience with Romolo Giordano, a prominent figure in the catering industry of western Liguria.

At La Viassa they have brought an attentive cuisine, based on the rediscovery of the recipes of memory and of the territory, together with the research of niche labels for the cellar and an informal but warm welcome.
