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.

Ortica - Pieve Ligure (GE)











The Ortica Restaurant is an integral part of Tenuta Golfo Paradiso, an ambitious project that combines a farm, a gourmet restaurant, and a super-simple and very "trendy" "hotel" offering overnight stays in "StarsBox" bedding under the stars.

Entering through the entrance, you are immediately captivated by the splendid covered veranda that offers an incomparable panoramic view from Punta Chiappa to the French Riviera, with Corsica visible on the clearest days.

Beyond the large sliding glass windows is the wood-floored terrace, where you might enjoy an aperitif, as we did.


Davide Cristaldi's cuisine is fresh, stimulating and balanced, based on carefully selected ingredients combined with a happy hand.


The Ortica Restaurant boasts a great terroir cuisine, ennobled by an obsessive search for great local products, centered on barbecue coals, produce from the estate's garden, and the scents of its own aeroponic cultivation.

An approach focused on ethics and sustainability, with a chef who knows the raw material well and treats it to the best of his ability.
In the dining room there is a true "communicator": he does this for a living (so much so that he says he feels like an "intern" in the restaurant), but he knows how to pamper the guest like few others.
