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.

Ristorante Nove - Alassio (SV)

Restaurant Nove is located in the splendid Villa della Pergola, a refined villa overlooking the Gulf of Alassio, of which we publish a rich photo report in lemilleUnanotte.
The Relais is surrounded by luxuriant gardens, enriched with a botanical collection unique in Europe, which alone is worth a visit.
The ambience of the interiors is an original recreation of Victorian-era English residences in India and Malaysia, with meticulously designed furnishings and an elegant collection of Victorian and Edwardian watercolors and paintings bringing to life the fine taste and atmosphere of the fin de siécle.
The dehors, surrounded by old trees, is extremely pleasant in warm weather.
At Ristorante Nove we experienced an exceptional gastronomic journey inspired by Liguria, aimed at rediscovering the flavors of the territory through a contemporary and sustainable ride of suggestions and emotions, in a balance of rare perfection.
Giorgio Pignagnoli's cuisine is extremely clean, sharp and precise, with well-dosed flavors and aromas, of impeccable execution.
Modern cuisine, as we understand it, without upheavals, useless frills or Pindaric flights, but marked by the recognizability of every single ingredient, each with its own precise place and its own precise why.
We drank beautifully, with pairings of great harmony and elegance.
