The food is good. What surprised me is the front of house staff were not welcoming. Didn’t acknowledge that we had a reservation. None of them were smiling. Happy that we were there spending money on food which we could do anywhere at many good restaurants in Alba. None of the staff came over and asked how our food was or if we needed anything. Didn’t know who ordered what for only two of us.
Management sets the tone in any business and they missed the mark on this one. If we had a great experience we might have made a reservation at their sister restaurant Piazza Duomo.

As always, I booked through Mr. Andrea. The service and lunch were fantastic. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to go back.

Went with American relatives, four people in total. The waiter was a bit huffy after waiting for orders because the place was filling up and there were only three of us. We ordered two glasses of wine, one of which I shared with my husband. It's a shame that three glasses were added to the bill (note: my half-glass, along with the other, was less than a normal glass).
I'm sorry because we've always had a good time, but perhaps something has changed.

Come on, for a town square in Alba, in the heart of the now-expensive Langhe region, not bad! The food was good, and the price was good. Friendly staff.

Lunch (or dinner) at La Piola is always a guarantee, but this time they outdid themselves. I started with a simply delicious veal with tuna sauce: incredibly tender meat and a balanced, creamy sauce, in true Piedmontese tradition.
The highlight, however, were the first courses: the plin with stew sauce were literally divine. Perfect pastry and a rich, flavorful sauce that enveloped each ravioli.
Excellent ingredients, a welcoming atmosphere, and consistently attentive and courteous service. If you're passing through Alba and looking for the authentic flavors of the Langhe, masterfully executed, this is the perfect place.
Applause!

The food was tasty but too expensive for what it is. Very heavily geared towards tourists. The service is very fast; you're back out in no time. Don't expect to be able to quietly enjoy a relaxed evening and drink wine.

Located in the heart of the historic center, this establishment clearly strives for a premium feel and focuses heavily on its extensive wine selection. The service is attentive and courteous, and the knowledgeable staff are available to help you choose.
