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.

RistOrto Casa Format - Orbassano (TO)











"RistOrto" Casa Format is the result of the Responsible Cooking and Hospitality project founded on a zero environmental impact ecosystem operating in Orbassano, in the open countryside but just a stone's throw from Turin, under the auspices of Giovanni Grasso and Igor Macchia's Credenza Group and in collaboration with the Owner of the large designer furniture store next door, Format Progetti Abitativi.


The all-wood and glass building, fronted by a swimming pool, with photovoltaic and water-recycling systems that make it self-sufficient and totally environmentally sustainable, has a hi-tech appearance reminiscent of that of a villa in Florida or California.

Casa Format's slogan is "responsible cooking and hospitality."


So behind the building has sprung up a large vegetable garden with a winter greenhouse, which provides the cooks with raw material all year round, which can be visited and where you can, have an aperitif during the warm season.

It is precisely the garden that dictates the kitchen line with its seasonality.

It is hard not to fall in love with a place like RistOrto Casa Format, where you will experience conviviality and first-rate cuisine in a striking location.

The kitchen, based on the flavors of its own Garden, the true natural larder of the House, aims to rediscover and enhance the seasonality of raw materials and traditions, to offer on the table the beauty and goodness of simple things.

At Casa Format you will appreciate a warm welcome, friendly and informal but studied down to the smallest detail, to make you feel truly at home.
We experience emotions there every time: above all, the joy of being comfortable and feeling pampered.
