The first location in the Sant'Ampelio bathing establishment was subsequently moved to the beautiful seaside promenade, which today it overlooks with a pleasant terrace. The interiors are divided into a single airy room, with modern furnishings and marble floors. The terrace with sea view is a fundamental resource during the summer.

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. It's got all the right ingredients: an atmosphere that's elegant and refined, but still relaxed; service that's meticulous yet feels like family; and excellent cuisine deeply rooted in the local area. And to top it all off, they have their very own truffle farm, which means you can elevate your meal with their precious white truffles.
Ugo Vairo's cooking is built on solid technique and uncompromising ingredients. He sprinkles in clever nods to great chefs and has an innate talent for composing dishes.
Thanks to Renata Siboni's passion and expertise, you'll also enjoy fantastic drinks and delight in their exceptionally delicious baked goods and desserts.
