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.

Ristorante Villa Fontana - Agliano Terme (AT)

The Villa Fontana Restaurant is located within the magnificent Relais Villa Fontana reviewed in lemilleUnanotte, situated in a splendid panoramic position on the hillside of Agliano Terme. Derived from a pair of stately manor houses from the last century that have undergone exquisite conservative renovation, it is a delightful place, beautiful and evocative in every season, framed by the hills of the Langhe and Monferrato UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The entrance is common to that of the hotel: a warm and welcoming reception area of great character, with the attraction of the still-functioning corner well, which is followed by the sitting room with a fireplace. Thanks to expert restoration work, ancient and modern blend with great harmony. The dining room is a spectacular veranda overlooking the panoramic terrace with views of the hills, parquet floors, and tables served by comfortable chairs, set with class.
The Gastronomic Restaurant of Villa Fontana is a small reality of excellent local cuisine, set in a true gem of niche hospitality such as the Relais that hosts it.
A focus has been placed on quality and pampering, thanks to an exceptional location: guests of the Relais and outside bookings enjoy, in a tasteful and classy corner, a really well-crafted local cuisine, with the use of the freshest raw materials, many of which come from the Villa's magnificent vegetable garden, which stands out in the park with its characteristic circular shape divided into wedges. Not to be outdone is the Cantina, which makes the most of the realities of the area, many of them niche.
