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 Falconiere - Cortona (AR)











Il Falconiere is the gourmet restaurant of the magnificent Relais & Châteaux of the same name in the province of Arezzo, located in a hilly area just minutes from picturesque Cortona.


For outside guests who have walked up the driveway from the parking lot, there is a convenient entrance on the same floor as the hall.

Hotel guests can access it by descending a staircase from the old glass and wrought iron lemon house.


The interiors possess an atmosphere of great character, thanks to warm colors and materials and elements typical of local architecture such as stone, brick, terracotta, arches and vaults.

Oriental rugs, drop chandeliers, wall sconces, rich draperies, tapestries and wall frescoes complete the furnishings.

Surrounded by an ambience of refined elegance, exclusive and relaxed, Silvia Baracchi's sunny cuisine represents a great Italian gastronomic stop in which to find a magnificent interpretation of the territory: dishes that originate from simple (but exceptional) ingredients or from grandmother's recipes, elaborated with great taste and a happy hand, become the mouthwatering calling card of one of the most enjoyable Italian Relais & Châteaux.

The location is scenic and privileged, whether dining in one of the indoor rooms or in the splendid new glass and wrought-iron Veranda.
