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.

Barolando - Barolo (CN)











Barolando, Restaurant and Wine Shop, is conveniently located in the center of Barolo. Impossible not to walk past it and not be drawn in by the menus displayed in plain sight.

Mattia Negro has delighted us with a cuisine that is yes inspired by tradition, but is also of great personality and superb in its combinations.

A lively, ultra-modern cuisine, apparently simple because it uses few ingredients from the choicest raw materials, technically impeccable (see the perfect cooking of the risottos, which is not so obvious to find), and executed with a lot of passion and application.

It is a formula that we judge to be a winning one as it is a harbinger of a complete and enjoyable tasting experience.
