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.

Il Giardino del Gusto - Ventimiglia (IM)

Il Giardino del Gusto, a gourmet restaurant owned by Emanuele Donalisio, a member of the Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe, is located in Ventimiglia, in the center of town, overlooking a tree-lined square a stone's throw from the train station.
Next to the entrance is the bar area, well integrated into the context.
The interiors are classic and elegant, furnished like a small wedding favor.
Once again we confirm our enthusiasm for Emanuele Donalisio's fine dining restaurant, to be categorized as one of the great tables of Liguria.
Emanuele's cuisine, cultivated, refined and rich in suggestions, is technically perfect and flavored with a meticulous search for quality and niche products, both local and exotic, from the cuisines of the world.
It is a cuisine capable of excitement and curiosity, conceptually inclined to reduce ingredients, taking away instead of adding, in search of distinct and precise sensations and flavors.
It is a cuisine that is always changing and evolving, truly dynamic, so that those who return to it will always find something new and stimulating.
There is very good drinking, with great food-wine pairing.
