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...

Borgo Sant'Anna - Monforte d'Alba (CN)

Borgo Sant'Anna, located in a splendid hilly position in Monforte d'Alba Alba, is the ambitious and intriguing project of Chef Pasquale Laera, Apulian by birth, Piedmontese by adoption, to give concrete effect to his vision of catering, that of a authentic Langhe country cuisine.
A project that is fully implemented in this magnificent farmhouse surrounded by vineyards, which has undergone a radical renovation.
The interiors of the restaurant immediately appear warm and welcoming, with wooden floors, wooden ceilings and many design details.
The first room has its natural outlet in the splendid panoramic veranda which is its natural continuation, creating a unique environment with large perimeter windows.
The second room has its strong point in the spectacular open kitchen in black marble, which even overlooks it on two sides with spectacular windows.
The design chairs with patchwork fabric seats add a touch of colour.
We have known and esteemed Pasquale Làera and his cuisine for years now, it is logical that our expectations are increasingly higher from time to time: well, we can state with absolute conviction that with each visit we return more delighted! In his splendid restaurant in the Langa, Pasquale has achieved a balance and maturity that are certainly the result of a happy hand and constant application, but also of a condition of great serenity and love for his work.
His cuisine is a true hymn to the Great Italian Cuisine, with very frequent homages to that of the South and cultured citations of regional recipes, through refined preparations supported by a masterly technique.
Research and avant-garde, but also genuine tradition, come together here in a combination that is striking and imprinted in the memory, for an experience of depth that has few equals.
Thanks to Matteo Di Giovanni we drank wonderfully, with a pairing of food and wine of great depth, harmony and elegance.
