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. The main hall is decorated like a wedding favor, with oriental carpets and many well-displayed bottles. Ugo Vairo and Renata Siboni run a place that easily wins over its customers.

A Volte Restaurant & Wine - Loro Piceno (MC)











A Volte Restaurant & Wine is the gourmet restaurant at Villa Anitori Prestige Relais & SPA, an intimate Maison de Charme nestled in the silence of the beautiful Marche hills of Loro Piceno, site of the ancient Castrum Lauri and home of the Vin Cotto Festival held every year in August.

A Volte Restaurant & Wine, thanks to the happy hand of Chef Paolo Paciaroni, represents a rich, cultured and stimulating gastronomic experience in an environment of refined elegance.

We liked the search for traditional dishes revisited with the lightness and technique of modern cuisine, but without ever distorting them of their essence.

Certain preparations, perhaps "of the feast," took on greater value in the past if they were served on plates reserved for great occasions, with the fillet gilded along the edge, and this is exactly what is taken up by the Restaurant's mise en place, a shrewdness that is indicative of the painstaking care that is given to each dish.

We have used the adjective "cultured" not by chance, because behind every recipe there is a story, and it is nice to grasp the passion that has animated its author in researching it and re-proposing it at its best, to enrich the guests' store of knowledge, as well as delight their palate.
