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.

Lostu - Monforte d'Alba (CN)

Lostu, a modern osteria opened by Chef Pasquale Laera, is based in a magnificent panoramic location among the hills of Monforte d'Alba, in Frazione Sant'Anna.
The only rectangular room is characterized by huge windows open to the Langhe landscape and rustic furnishings with some very original details, such as chandeliers made from baskets and baskets.
At Lostu you will rediscover the authentic flavors of peasant cuisine in a modern Trattoria with a splendid view of the Langa hills.
The restaurant, opened by Chef Pasquale Laera in collaboration with his friend sous-chef George Uta a few steps from Borgo Sant'Anna, is dedicated to conviviality and festive moments in a relaxed and jovial atmosphere, with the spirit of the inns of the past.
It is not and does not want to be the Bistrot of the starred Restaurant, but an independent Osteria.
Its symbol is the hen, the animal that populated the chicken coops of every farmhouse, which best embodies its philosophy, referring to the farmyard and tradition, to the knowledge of those who work the land and to the flavor of the most genuine and natural dishes.
The cuisine, absolutely perfect and centered in its genre, is Piedmontese and "homemade", which offers forgotten recipes with vegetables picked in the garden or purchased from the farmers, following the seasonality of the ingredients.
