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.

Dama-Dama - Porto Ercole (GR)

Dama-Dama Restaurant is located in Porto Ercole inside the prestigious Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort, Autograph Collection.
It is accessed from the scenic lobby of the Resort, going down one floor of the immense central staircase as an alternative to the elevators.
The restaurant's interior is divided into two large rooms, the first of which faces the terrace, which is overlooked by full-wall windows.
"Dama-Dama" is the scientific name for the fallow deer, a beautiful species that can be found in the forests that cover Argentario.
The restaurant is an ironic and contemporary vision of an elegant mountain retreat. The faux hunting trophy designs and natural fabrics make it an unexpected place within the resort.
At Dama-Dama Restaurant we tasted excellent cuisine based on the ingredients, flavors and colors of the territory with a pinch of innovation.
Chef Emiliano Lombardelli, originally from the area, works with impeccable technique a beautiful work of modern development of some essential traditional recipes with great attention to the quality of the raw materials.
All his dishes are balanced, beautiful to look at and impeccably executed.
Most of the ingredients are Km 0 or come directly from the Resort's garden.
The environment is stimulating and refined. We drank very well, with a food-wine pairing of great depth.
