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...

L'Artigiano in Salice - Rivanazzano (PV)

L'Artigiano in Salice is a modern restaurant with braceria and cocktail bar located in Rivanazzano, a spa town not far from Salice Terme.
The owners, in the person of Mattia Giordano Barberis, have created a place with great potential.
The interior is striking: a modern "industrial chic" environment, very trendy and well maintained, characterized by large spaces and contemporary furnishings.
The venue stands out for its meat offerings.
You will find a wonderful selection of Wagyu, not only the legendary Japanese beef from Kioto (Ginkakugji Onishi Wagyu), but also Wagyu from Australian farms and from the only Italian farm (Ca' Negra).
These are joined by Danish selections, Fassona and spices.
L'Artigiano in Salice is a new generation braceria with great ambitions.
The highly evocative environment and the maniacal care for the selection of absolute and uncompromising quality of the products, the choice to follow in-house the long, delicate and costly processes of maturing and seasoning, make it an essential destination for those who want to approach a serious and not only commercial vision of the grill.
We, who have followed Chef Alessandro Cerutti on his culinary journey over the years, find him here today even more motivated and charged to embrace a young, hip and winning project.
What we like about him is his respect for even "poor" raw materials and his passion for exploring every new frontier, such as the curing of fish. The drinks are good, with a nice proposal of dedicated cocktails and a wine pairing that favors the enhancement of local producers.
