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.

La Mugnaia - Ivrea (TO)











La Mugnaia is a pleasant restaurant located in Ivrea's pedestrian-friendly historic center.

It is run by Marco Rossi, a chef with a degree in philosophy and education, and his wife Elisa Campa, a sommelier.

The restaurant's cool and airy interior features beautiful vaulted ceilings with exposed brickwork.


The large round tables are set with Parotex tablecloths, beautiful Pordamsa plates, Vega cutlery, all-steel Laguiole knives for cutting meats, beautiful water tumblers, one-of-a-kind pieces different from each other mouth-blown by Massimo Lunardon, glassblower and artist, and Rastal stemware.


La Mugnaia is a pleasant and refined little place, with contemporary, creative, mouth-watering and highly technical cuisine that, without disdaining tradition, elaborates and rethinks it in a modern key.

Marco Rossi, a concrete and clear-minded chef, possesses a fine hand, capable of making the most of the top-quality raw materials he uses.

We also drank superbly, with a beautiful journey through different expressions of Erbaluce di Caluso, thanks to the pairings chosen for us by Elisa Campa, the Chef's wife and Sommelier.
