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.

Celestino - Piobesi Torinese (TO)

The Celestino restaurant and hotel is housed in a prestigious 15th-century house, one of the few preserved in the historic center of Piobesi Torinese, a town half an hour's drive from the Savoy capital.
The restaurant has been run since 1904 by the Leggero family, which over the years has handed down the memory of typical Piedmontese cuisine and hospitality. This year it celebrates an impressive 120 years in business!
The large main room has been completely renovated with a modern taste but the original barrel vaults dating back to 1458 are still present, plastered.
The light colors are interrupted by the dove-gray central partition, the stone back wall and some very colorful paintings and posters.
Great raw materials, a perfect mastery of cooking and beautiful plating for a traditional cuisine presented in a modern guise (with several gluten-free preparations), this is the summary of what we experienced at Celestino.
A place run by the family for generations (we are now at the fifth!) with a long tradition not only of catering but also of butcher and food shop, a circumstance that is clearly felt in the quality of the offer. We recommend it as a gastronomic experience of absolute value in its category.
