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.

LangOtto Ristorante - Novello (CN)

LangOtto is the name of Chef Otto Lucà's gourmet restaurant in Novello, in the heart of the Langhe.
The restaurant has been customized with a few well-calibrated touches.
We like the sign with the stylized plate for the "O" and the double meaning of the word "Novello," which can be interpreted as a place or an adjective.
The rectangular dining room, nicely decorated with modern artwork throughout, overlooks the Novello vineyards through windows and small balconies. The tables are few and well spaced, and with low candlelight, the atmosphere is warm and romantic.
The outdoor space is used in warm weather with a dehors on the small square and with equipment on the 3 small balconies.
Langhe and Piedmontese dishes cooked with French techniques: this is the summary of what you will find at LangOtto, an excellent Langa restaurant run by a young, ambitious, talented and motivated chef.
Starting with an impeccable foie gras (for which we refer you to the previous report), there are many dishes to remember, which are also being renewed at a rapid pace.
Otto Lucà possesses, in addition to the most modern techniques, a not inconsiderable gift of balance, which leads him to cook calibrated dishes, built on great raw materials with simple and precise ideas.
A detail that we like to note is the serving of dishes that are always very hot in the dining room, a detail that is not always obvious but that can make all the difference.
Elisa Andreotti's input in the dining room is crucial in matching the dishes with a very well-rounded cellar.
