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.

L'Erbi - Villar Perosa (TO)

To reach it, you'll drive along a wonderful tree-lined avenue that climbs up the hillside, flanked by the well-tended lawns that surround what was for years the holiday residence of the Agnelli family.
L'Erbi is a historic village eatery, a reference point for a clientele of “habitués,” to which the new management of Manuel Bouchard and his partner and friend Joel Ramirez has given a decisive swerve toward authentic cuisine, as “poor” as it is refined, complemented by a fine Cantina full of local goodies.
We have found an almost maniacal care in the selection of small and very small Producers of excellence for each of the raw materials used and for the labels in the Cellar, which together with the skills of the kitchen give life to extremely enjoyable dishes that are accompanied by good drinking.
The philosophy of the restaurant is to welcome the customer even if only for the consumption of a beer at the table, knowing full well that the sight of the cutting boards and incoming dishes will tickle him to turn the stop into a full meal...
Thanks to Joel Ramirez's Argentine origins in the kitchen, the grilled meats on tasting enjoy a state-of-the-art cooking technique.
