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.

Lunasia - Viareggio (LU)











Lunasia is the gourmet restaurant of the Plaza e de Russie Hotel in Viareggio, about which lemilleUnanotte publishes a rich Reportage.

Its name has roots from Etruscan and means quiet and serenity.


The rectangular-developed dining room, which occupies most of the hotel's ground floor, boasts a distinct personality in its décor and offers a choice for every desire, from traditional tables to seating on the long sofa that runs along an entire side wall to the secluded small table sheltered from prying eyes for a romantic tête-à-tête.


Chef Luca Landi is the author of a great cuisine of which you will appreciate the aromas, textures, wonderful mastery of the raw material, fish in particular, and a great taste for the arrangements and compositions, which are true paintings, meticulous down to the smallest details.

A particularly titled chef thanks to his experiences in prestigious U.S. and Japanese tristate restaurants, which sharpened his love for the vegetable world and a very "oriental" aesthetic sense.

A worthy introduction to a cuisine of such depth in the dining room, and accompanying it with particularly thoughtful wine choices, is provided by Maître Claudia Parigi, who followed us through the tasting process.
