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. The main hall is decorated like a wedding favor, with oriental carpets and many well-displayed bottles. Ugo Vairo and Renata Siboni run a place that easily wins over its customers. It's got all the right ingredients: an atmosphere that's elegant and refined, but still relaxed; service that's meticulous yet feels like family; and exc...

OrtOsteria René - Bastia (SV)

Located in Bastia, not far from Albenga, OrtOsteria René is the new "jewel" of BioVio, a modern osteria created with the intention of continuing the family tradition of hospitality and sharing the table, passing on the most authentic peasant recipes by improving the products of the Albenga hinterland.
The name is a tribute to grandfather René, who in the 90's created Il Torchietto, a very successful pizzeria-restaurant.
The cozy and atmospheric interiors show great taste in the combination of materials (stone, wood and brick) and in the choice of furnishings and lighting.
The main dining room continues at the back with a small room with a "table d'hôte" overlooking the glassed-in kitchen.
A floor-to-ceiling glass panel reveals the splendid small wine cellar, accessed by a ladder with a wrought-iron gate.
At OrtOsteria René we had a rich taste experience in a delightful country chic setting.
The cuisine is strictly traditional, with the peasant dishes of the Ligurian hinterland, made with the seasonal products of the OrtOsteria, which supplies the family farm, specializing in artichokes and aromatic herbs.
Accompanying the meal with exciting wines from the home winery, which enjoys the highest international reputation, Aimone made us drink divinely with a wide overview of his most representative wines.
If you want to enjoy the true scents and tastes of Liguria, surrounded by the warm hospitality of a family that is more than rare, a stop here is a must.
