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.

La Duja - Ciriè (TO)

La Duja, Restaurant and Enoteca, is based in the center of Ciriè just a few minutes' drive from Turin. Its name in Piedmontese has the meaning of "vase, container, vessel, jar."
The restaurant is warm and cozy, with a beautiful wood plank floor and pastel-colored walls with exposed brick portions. Beyond the entrance is the "Green Room," ideal for banquets, birthday dinners and celebrations. The "Red Room," with a fireplace and soft lighting, is a room with character. "Modern as it used to be," reads the motto of a retro-style advertising poster hanging on the wall: this is the philosophy that inspires the restaurant.
La Duja is an excellent address for traditional cuisine in a well-kept, informal setting with warm "old-fashioned trattoria" style furnishings. The cuisine of Loris Basso - a well-trained chef with a personal passion for the Orient - knows how to treat classic recipes with that contemporary touch that makes them even more enjoyable. All this is "seasoned" by the absolute quality of the raw material. You will drink very well, thanks to a wine cellar of depth that intelligently offers a rich choice of labels by the glass.
