La Locanda del Sorriso In Dogliani

14/01/2025: This restaurant is highly recommended. We visited Alba recently and opted for this restaurant for lunch. We were not wrong at all. Wonderful attention from the staff. The food was all delicious, the waiting times correct, the meat incredible. Good wine list to accompany the food. The beautiful place. If we return to Alba in the future we will return.

08/12/2024: Excellent lunch in the center of Alba We managed to find a seat in this lovely restaurant in the center of Alba. It has seating both outside and inside and I recommend booking. The staff has always been kind and friendly: an absolutely positive note. The menu is the classic Piedmontese one with truffle variations. We chose the venison carpaccio with black truffle (€18) and the tajarin with white truffle (€40): both excellent dishes, the carpaccio was abundant and refined but obviously the point of excellence in both was the truffle. For the second course we opted for the veal cheek braised in Barolo with potato cream (€20): sublime! The meat was wonderful as was the seasoning - the portion was generous. It was all accompanied with a side dish of vegetables (mixed between carrots, potatoes, broccoli, onions and cauliflower). We concluded with the wonderful hazelnut cake with ice cream and two coffees. Overall the bill was €120: very respectable given the location, the service, the quantity and quality of the dishes. Highly recommended!
