Brezza In Barolo

Excellent appetizers, including veal with tuna sauce and exceptional carpaccio. The first courses were good. Excellent service, all the staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing to complain about the wines, of course! The only disappointment was the second course, where the braised beef was mediocre and the zucchini and potatoes, practically boiled, didn't hold up to the rest.

The place is very large, spacious, and clean. The staff is fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. Typical Piedmontese dishes are plentiful and delicious. In my opinion, the prices are quite above average.

It's Alba Truffle Fair season, and autumn in the Langhe and Roero is a spectacle of colorful vineyards and woodlands, with persimmons and pomegranates adding artistic touches and attracting countless tourists. La Morra, Barolo, Monforte, and Serralunga, along with Barbaresco and Neive, vie for the top spots among the most sought-after villages. The local cuisine, featuring its majesty the white truffle, along with the many traditional dishes and the great red wines from the most prestigious producers, is an irresistible draw both nationally and internationally. It's difficult to find a table in the many suitable restaurants, even with advance reservations. Brezza is one of Barolo's historic restaurants, first in the historic center and now for several years in the beautiful location next to the functional hotel with a stunning view of the castle and the village. Tonight, we'll be meeting again as always with a group of loyal enthusiasts of our cuisine and great wines, who every year from the PFALZ enthusiastically return to explore the charming streets that have earned their rightful UNESCO recognition. Despite some language difficulties, a wonderful friendship has developed, and on the last evening of their stay, it's a tradition to dine together. This year, we recommended this beautiful location, tastefully furnished with lots of wood, lending the atmosphere warmth and elegance. They chose a unique traditional menu with classic Piedmontese appetizers (meat Alba-style, veal with tuna sauce, Russian salad, vegetable flan with fondue), followed by the restaurant's signature tajarin pasta. This is followed by the autumn's star dish, a great braised beef in Barolo wine with vegetables, and finally, a nougat parfait. The wine list is fantastic, featuring top local labels and very reasonable markups, with particular attention paid to the wine service, both in terms of glass selection and the right temperature. Our German friends don't skimp, and on the tables we see the finest labels from our excellent wineries. We started with a great Alte Langhe, followed by a Nebbiolo del Roero, the great cru Valmaggiore 2022 from the Marengo producer in La Morra. A wine of great elegance, freshness, and balance, a characteristic shared by all the fantastic reds from the left bank of the Tanaro. We joke about the small bottle, which is finished in a flash; fortunately, we can have a second, and we're delighted. A good coffee and a final toast to seal our friendship and renew our invitation for 2026 with a local nectar, kindly offered by the house: the great Barolo Chinato made with the secret recipe of its inventor, the great Doctor Cappellano of Serralunga. We will cherish the memory of this beautiful evening spent in joy, enjoying delicious dishes, accompanied by great wines, in a charming location with a spectacular view, served by kind, attentive, professional, and smiling staff. Thanks to the entire team at this historic venue for giving us a unique evening. Highly recommended, especially for those seeking traditional dishes prepared with love and attention.

The house appetizer was poor: the beef carpaccio was flavorless because it was seasoned with garlic (not listed on the menu); the tuna sauce was equally lacking, and the tuna salad was only mayonnaise. Only the fillet steak in Barolo was good. I would hardly return.

We had lunch here and I have to say we had a great time. We really enjoyed the food, the wine list was excellent, and the prices were fair. The only downside was that the dishes were a bit too fast; the waiter Antonio realized we wanted to take a breather and slowed down this pleasant moment. We'll definitely be back.

This place was clearly geared toward tourists, but unfortunately both the service and food were very disappointing. We will not be returning. We were two adults and a toddler, and when we ordered just one bottle of water before ordering food, the staff asked, rather condescendingly, “Just one bottle?”😱 The food reminded us of the kind served in mass-tourist restaurants—poor in quality and lacking in flavour. We couldn’t even finish our meals. It was, sadly, the most disappointing dining experience we had during our trip to Italy.

Nestled among the Barolo vineyards, we found a real gem of Piedmont and Langhe cuisine. From appetizers to desserts, everything is served with care and dedication to the customer. A list of local wines is a must. An elegant but informal place, with truly reasonable prices. Very fast service. Recommended.

It was me and my partner and we thought we'd have a Barolo risotto with a view of the town since we were sitting on the terrace and it was delicious.

Para nuestra visita a Barolo nos recomendaron encarecidamente alojarse en el Hotel Barolo y comer en Ristorante Brezza. Ambas fueron excelentes recomendaciones. El Ristorante se encuentra dentro del complejo del Hotel. Hicimos una reserva en la recepción del hotel y llegamos a un comedor rápidamente lleno de huéspedes del hotel y lugareños para una buena comida. La combinación de platos muy locales servidos con un excelente vino local hecho para una gran comida. Disfrutamos de pasta y ternera y un Barbaresco. El servicio era excelente y los precios eran razonables. El comedor era un lugar feliz que nos animó a disfrutar de una actuación repetida la noche siguiente.

Sono stata con mio marito nel nostro primo anniversario e ci torniamo appena possiamo, il locale è tranquillo il cibo buono ed il personale gentile. Le sere d'estate mangiare in terrazzo è davvero speciale! Consiglio 😊
