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.

Sestogusto - Torino











Massimiliano Prete's Pizzeria Sestogusto is doubling down in Turin. We visited the new location on Via Stampatori, right in the center of the city, a stone's throw from Via Garibaldi.


The exteriors overlook a pedestrian area. Once inside, the rooms impress with their design and comfortable setting. The new Pizzeria is divided into a succession of pleasantly colored, tastefully furnished small rooms with designer tables, sofas and chairs.


Pizzeria Sestogusto, like its twin on Via Mazzini, is a taste laboratory where food culture is made by enthusiastically and passionately recounting the raw materials and the processes they undergo.

The pizzas are small masterpieces of taste, digestibility and structure, full of exciting variations, with a maniacal search for excellence.
Let us borrow two illustrious quotes that tell exactly what we found:

"I put the pizza under my teeth and the sensation was that of the unmatched. It has an absolute meltiness. It enters the mouth and gives completeness in a second" - Gabriele Bonci, Gourmet Pizzaiolo.

"The pizza we had at Sestogusto was a discovery for me: they do an incredible and unique job in the world on leavening, really extraordinary" - Albert Adrià great contemporary Chef, founder of El Bulli.

There is very good drinking, and not just beers.
