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.

Stefano Paganini alla Corte degli Alfieri - Magliano Alfieri (CN)











The Stefano Paganini restaurant at the Corte degli Alfieri enjoys an absolutely prestigious setting, in the magnificent restored and modernized 17th-century rooms of a wing of the Magliano Alfieri Castle overlooking the town.


At the entrance, in rooms with terracotta floors, carpets, tall columns, and vaulted ceilings, here is the bar area, the closet for storing clothes, and, at the back, the kitchen. The restaurant consists of 2 rooms. The classic one is richly frescoed


It is now more than a decade that we have been following Stefano Paganini along his path of maturation, which appears to us with each visit more and more complete.

His cuisine has evolved towards concreteness, through a wise dosage of ingredients and the search for the sharpness of flavors, without ever chasing fads or the desire to amaze.

Stefano Paganini is a young, motivated chef, enthusiastic about his profession, who cooks good things to make people happy.

All his dishes are well linked to the territory and tradition but also rich in creative ideas. All ingredients are distinguished by the highest quality, and the free hand and surprise menus, which are now the core business of his restaurant, best represent the personality of Stefano the man, not just the chef.
