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. The main hall is decorated like a wedding favor, with oriental carpets and many well-displayed bottles. Ugo Vairo and Renata Siboni run a place that easily wins over its customers.

Archè Dennis Cesco - Piobesi d'Alba (CN)

Archè is the new restaurant of Dennis Cesco, a very talented young chef whom we have been following since his time at Villa d'Amelia. The location is in Piobesi d'Alba, in a building with very modern forms that will prove to be even more surprising inside.
Step through the front gate and you will be faced with a dazzling glass veranda surrounded by a lovely artificial turf garden, which hosts outdoor tables in summer. Great design for the interior as well, with lots of wood, including on the walls.
At Archè Restaurant, we experienced a beautiful contemporary fine dining itinerary in a real modern gem, unsuspected from the outside. Chef Dennis Cesco is here in his first proprietary Restaurant, where he is free to propose without constraints the cuisine he likes, made of original and personal combinations, and ingredients - never too many - always perfectly balanced.
We tasted a very current course that perfectly balances the many suggestions derived from the Chef's wealth of experience, who has encountered and made his own a world, especially Nordic, whose influence is increasingly important on contemporary Cuisine.
Dennis possesses technique, ideas, passion, and personality, which go hand in hand with innate measure and balance. He is one of the young and emerging Chefs we most appreciate for what he has to show, as well as for his modesty and gracious manners, to whom a future full of success is in store. We drank divinely, with a magnificent wine pairing, of exceptional harmony and elegance, the result of Federico Libra's passion and expertise.
