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.

Il Trittico Osteria - Alba (CN)











Il Trittico Osteria is based in Alba, the heart of the Langhe and home of the White Truffle Fair, in the historic center.

It draws its name from its three very young founding friends, Mirko and Chiara, partners in life, and Andrea.


You will be welcomed by Chiara Abbate, a hostess of exquisite manners.

The interior, which has been entirely renovated, unfolds in large, bright, essential spaces with very well matched hues.


The atmosphere is young, modern and "casual" (but cared for in every detail), the kitchen is the natural evolution, with migration from the home stove to a venue open to the public, of a small workshop of passionate connoisseurs for its own equally passionate audience of connoisseurs.

Since all preparations are grafted onto a base of Langhe tradition, do not expect daring or surprising experimentation, but rather a search for clean, sharp and precise flavors, never wanting to overdo, in perfect balance.

There is no shortage of playing with textures and contrasting flavors, with acidic and oriental notes giving the dishes those touches of personality that make them stand out, all in the name of balance and restraint.
