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.

Ape, Vino e Cucina - Alba (CN)

Ape Vino e Cucina, Chef Damiano Nigro, is a contemporary Mediterranean cuisine venue paired with quality wines and cocktails located in the heart of Alba, right in the middle of the pedestrian island.
As soon as you enter, the first room with its large mixing bar stands out. Dedicated mainly to aperitifs, it has preserved the original stucco and friezes of the 18th-century building thanks to a skillful restoration. All floors are made of fine parquet. Scenic chandeliers descend from the vaulted ceilings.
The restaurant's dining rooms are the following two, which follow one another in sequence.
Damiano Nigro is back! Ape Vino e Cucina is a venue with rooms full of the charm of the past, but also very trendy, in which to taste a Mediterranean cuisine of great depth, operated with mastery by one of our "chefs of the heart," whom we love for his technique but also for his great gifts of humanity and humility.
The gastronomic proposal contemplates a satisfying range of proposals, some firmly anchored in tradition, but also cleverly reworked in a modern key, others linked to the sea and the Chef's land of origin. All the dishes are of absolute level, well conceived and equally well executed, rich to the sight, smell and taste!
