Circolo Del Vecchio Gusto In Alba

We ate a nice tiramisu and the dishes looked impressive too!

Finally, a real, contemporary #pizzeria! A very beautiful and modern place in the heart of #alba The place offers 6 different types of #dough and therefore 6 different products. From classic #pizza to various pseudo-focaccias, crunchy, crumbly, or soft, etc... We had the pizza regina, which is their version of the #pizzamargherita, and a crunchy one with #prosciuttocrudo and #burrata. Let's start with the #pizza, which is definitely excellent, especially for the truly high-quality ingredients and the excellent cooking. The dough rises beautifully; I found it to be halfway between a Neapolitan and a whole wheat pizza. I liked it, even though classic, well-made pizzas surpass it. Kudos to the croccante, on a much higher level. The dough rises well and is just the right amount of crunch, not too much, but just enough to make it enjoyable. Top ingredients, the #ham is exceptional and made the difference; I'd buy it again. This place also offers various #puff pastry #desserts, as the dough is at the heart of the project. We had a #gianduia #nyroll and a pistachio #saccottino. Incredible nyroll, perfect dough, soft and just the right amount of sweet with a devastating gianduia cream. The #saccottinio rose perfectly, the pistachio cream was good, but two notches below the roll. I would try the #singleportions, they looked amazing. The staff was absolutely friendly and knowledgeable and accommodated our various needs. If you come to Alba, you can't miss this place! Congratulations indeed. #gustomadre #gustomadrealba #pizzaalba #impastoalba

A variety of gourmet pizzas are available, beautifully presented. Different types of dough are available. I tried the crispy one with minced meat, which was delicious. Excellent selection of Baladin craft beers and a few wines by the glass. The service could use some updating. Prices are above average, but justified by the quality.

Excellent place with excellent pastries. Must try.

A tasteful venue with gourmet pastries and signature coffee

This was our first meal in Alba and I was genuinely surprised by how good the pizzas were. Literally every pizza we ordered was good. The dough and crust was excellent! So flavorful. An interesting cultural tidbit is that Italians apparently eat one entire pizza each, so the waiter was initially thrown off when we ordered less. Plus, the staff were very friendly and accommodated us, even if we did not have a reservation. Right after we were seated, they had to turn away many walk-ins because the restaurant was packed!

We had lunch at this pizzeria in Alba during the International Truffle Fair. The restaurant offers refined ingredients and top-quality raw materials, truly interesting in the menu. Unfortunately, however, the overall experience didn't live up to expectations: we waited over 40 minutes for a classic pizza and two hamburgers, despite the restaurant being half-empty inside (the outside tables were full). With a cover charge of €3 per person, I would have expected at least a real tablecloth and a small snack at the table while we waited, but instead we only got a paper placemat and no breadsticks or bread. I understand that the city was particularly crowded for the event, but since it's an annual fair, I would expect management to be more "experienced" on days like this. In any case, the wait staff was kind and helpful, and the quality of the food remains unquestionable.

Everything was excellent, pizzas, beers, coffee and desserts.

Fantastic experience Excellent service and amazing pizzas

We went for lunch on Saturday where we had the 50cm crispy focaccia, and I have to say that we really liked it, so I would go back to try other things too.
