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.

Cesare Grandi's ethical, cerebral, cultured and exciting cuisine, certainly capable of intriguing and astonishing, plays with great balance on the thoughtful combinations, by contrast or affinity, of flavors, textures and temperatures, in search of the maximum exaltation of taste and maximum simplicity.

But that's not all: research transcends into the study of the relationship between food and well-being and attention to natural foods, which alone guarantee the well-being of the human organism.

Cuisine and Philosophy: a union that also involves a non-excessive dimension, the only one that can guarantee effective control of the entire gastronomic chain.
