I migliori ristoranti in Cuneo

03/11/2025: ⭐⭐⭐(Michelin). 37 dishes in nine courses at #32 in the world, Piazza Duomo (conveniently located in Piazza Duomo) in Alba. We chose the garden forward "The Journey" menu rather than the white truffle or Barolo menu. Colors, flavors, smells, textures, taste in a horrifically over-bright 100% LED spotlight lit dining room, cafeteria style floors and Barbiecore pink walls with amateur-night interpretive images painted on the too-bright pink wall. The carne cruda stuffed green olive was salty but amused my bouche, JC loved the shellfish version in the black olive. Little flowers on little cheese on cracker quite delicious. Savory salted caramel pudding with (mushroom?) broth was fantastic, and escarole sorbet intriguing. Pumpkin with a single chestnut didn't evoke autumn. 21-31-41-51-61-Hike salad, though a trendsetter, it's tough having seen it other places first, but ginger sesame dashi was very tasty. Uni was a massive, ammonia laden shame of a miss, yuck! (I didn't send it back, but it was that bad) Milazzo has ruined me for sea urchin that is not quite literally pulled out of the sea and eaten. Cod with onion and saffron veil (gel!) was undoubtedly the most perfectly cooked piece of fish this palate has had in the past 54 years. Very small and meaty borscht is exactly how it should be served! Caviar finally made an appearance on the crazily friable (not in a good way) savory beet Moon Pie. Hazelnut savory cruffin (my word, not theirs) was exceptional and location/season appropriate. Gels (er, hydrocolloids) everywhere... Like 20 of them. The main other trick was super thin micro-layers of things, a demonstration of technical skill, but not a good choice if you want your diner to taste your food. Chiaroscuro esoteric cuttlefish, meh... High minded but didn't go anywhere. Camomile (gel!!!) amidst demi glace gets lost with the small perfectly cooked lamb bite. White chocolate for dessert? Really three stars? Another total miss. Grapefruit sorbet cleansingly tasty. Cereal milk giving Momofuku 2006. Cookies, but no mignardises other than very good chocolate covered hazelnuts. This was a festive treat and a unique experience, I regret nothing. I realize that it is harder to lose stars than to gain them, but...

18/10/2025: Unfortunately, six stars cannot be given…
