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.

Ristorante Ca' Vittoria - Tigliole d'Asti (AT)











You can read about Ca' Vittoria and its refined hospitality in our extensive report in lemilleUnanotte; here we will deal only with the restaurant.

Already upon entering you will be struck by the elegant and atmospheric interior, with polished grit floors and vaulted brick ceilings.

The first room, soon to be transformed into a cozy living room, serves as an antechamber from which to watch the kitchen at work. At the back stands a magnificent Austrian imperial sideboard from the late 1700s.


The new dining room is a vast, bright veranda played on the contrast between light tones and the wooden coffered ceiling.

Niches with natural lichens stand out there.

When we talk about Ca' Vittoria, one cannot help but recall a past of three generations united by the same passion and the sole desire to approach perfection.

It was a traditional and curated cuisine that could also boast as a feather in its cap a service for Pope Karol Wojtyla on the occasion of an exposition of the Holy Shroud in Turin.

Massimiliano Musso, a modern and trained chef, has transformed his legacy into a contemporary Haute Cuisine Restaurant with the use of the most advanced cooking techniques, vacuum and osmosis, experimentation with fermentations and many oriental touches, for a very high-profile result.
