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.

I Due Buoi - Olivola (AL)

I Due Buoi, a historic restaurant in Alessandria, will move to the beautiful setting of Villa Guazzo Candiani in Olivola, Monferrato, in 2021, leaving the Bistrot Cavour to continue its in-house dining service at the Hotel Alli due Buoi Rossi in Alessandria.
The 1585 villa, surrounded by a garden with paths and secular trees, completes its offer with the six apartments of the charming Residence, located in the village, a short walk from the villa.
The restaurant consists of three beautiful frescoed rooms, plus a dedicated room where customers can enjoy espresso or coffee prepared by the extraction method.
Ristorante I Due Buoi is an attractive destination thanks to its beautiful location and gourmet cuisine.
The chef, Marco Molaro, works with respect for the raw material and with a view to enhancing the territory, with excellent technique and some oriental influences.
There is no lack of original ideas, for example in the desserts.
The presentations are well thought out, with a clear emphasis on "taste", which, according to the chef's philosophy, must be the result of a few ingredients, well matched and easily recognizable.
Thanks to the choices made by Maître Sommelier Mattia Trentani, we drank very well, with centered and elegant pairings.
