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.

Trattoria del Bivio - Cerretto Langhe (CN)











Located a few kilometers from Alba, on the road between Ceretto Langhe and Albaretto Torre, the Trattoria Del Bivio was born from the careful restoration of an old Langa farmhouse, restored in 1997.


Entering through the entrance, one is immersed in a well-kept environment full of character, which serves as the reception for the restaurant and the hotel.

The rooms are divided into three tastefully decorated dining rooms, with a glassed-in veranda, very pleasant in warm weather, which continues into the garden patio.


The Trattoria del Bivio, a true "Relais de Campagne", is a charming house, characterized by a familiar, yet intimate welcome, impeccable service and a lot of exquisite courtesy that make the pampered customer feel at home.

The cuisine, impeccable when inspired by tradition, entertaining and dense in more contemporary preparations, offers a range of perfectly executed dishes, imbued with enthusiasm and passion, some of which are unforgettable, such as the foie gras terrine and the tajarin, which we tasted on several occasions.

There is divine drinking, with food and wine pairings always well centered by a rich and deep menu.

The restaurant is certainly worth a special stop, perhaps with an extended stay in one of the 6 comfortable rooms.
