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.

Ma.Ri.na - Olgiate Olona (VA)

Ma.Ri.na, a fine seafood restaurant, is located in Olgiate Olona, not far from Milan and Malpensa airport.
The name comes from the initials of Marisa and Rita and the last syllable of Anna, the sisters who founded the restaurant in 1973 together with their brother Pino and their parents Angelo and Carolina.
As soon as you enter the reception area, you are immersed in a warm and elegant atmosphere, with light wood paneling, a fine parquet floor and tastefully decorated walls.
The main hall has a corner development with a cream-colored wooden cabinet dividing it into two zones.

Rita Possoni's seafood dishes represent the state of the art of fine cuisine, developed and refined over a lifetime dedicated to cooking, culminating in sensational crudos that are hard to beat.
The discerning and independent gourmet will not be misled and deceived by the aleatoric nature of criticism, which every day reveals more and more the obvious limits of a purely commercial approach, and will continue to count the restaurant among the absolute top for seafood cuisine.
We drank divinely, with a food-wine pairing of great depth, harmony and elegance, thanks to the even more unusual and surprising pairings of sommelier Marius Dimitru, who accompanied us during the tasting.
